Yeah, that seemed to be the case when I was ordering my car, too, at least according to the other mfrs. websites. But doesn’t make any sense that Porsche would want to limit European usage to less than the six months allowed to avoid VAT.

On Behalf Of Delivery, European, AMERICAS (PCNA)

Subject: RE: Euro delivery

I hope that all is well! We are only instructed to inform customers that you have the full right in arranging registration and insurance beyond the 3 months that we offer. From the information that we have been updated on, no other European brands offer anything beyond 3 months of coverage, either. You are correct – according to German law, your vehicle will definitely be able to be driven in Germany for up to 6 months, but is left to the responsibility of the customer as we are restricted to surpass the 90-day period of coverage. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused and hope that this information helps in guiding you. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you!
Best Regards,

That's a very polite "take-a-hike" e-mail.

Indeed. The problem is that to register your car beyond the 90 days requires a certificate of conformity to EU standards (at least in France), which you can’t get if your car meets US specs.

Yes, as soon as you posted and ED confirmed that they won’t register the car for more then 3 months it was Game Over.
