Default Question for RS and RS 4.0 Owners

For those who bought the car new, did you receive anything from PCNA or PAG acknowledging your purchase?

Bought the 4.0 new and got some paperwork and a plaque with the piston from the 4.0.

Bought a 3.8 RS new and received my subscription to Christophorus.

Never got the desktop plaque with the profiles of 911's through the years.

Hmm. I got squat.

I figured they would have sent me at least a certificate of authenticity or a key chain or the like.

You will get the piston. Every new 4.0 buyer gets the piston. It just takes a while to arrive. Mine took months.

Enjoy it for the powerband goodness not the tchotchkes

Since I ordered my 4.0 in Riv Blue, I basically paid $8,000 extra for all the cool crap listed above and as such ...... keep it all in my safe !

It was probably your dealer who ordered it. I got one shortly after buying my GT3 in the mail. I mentioned it when I talked to my dealer and they said they order them for all the specialty cars they sell as a common courtesy.

I also got a subscription to Christophorus and I get promotions for every new product that comes out, such as the 991 launch kit with my name on the stand. I think the paperweight with name and VIN is unique to 4.0 owners.
