Just be prepared for a lot of changes from Porsche. European Deliveries are subject to so many variables that prospective Euro del customers need to keep flexible. Very flexible. I’d done two European deliveries decades apart. While the factory works very hard to accommodate these customers keep in mind that there are significant logistical constraints to making these things come off without a hitch. Just be patient. Delay airline and hotel plans and reservations until you have a solid checkpoint nine date. With the ‘epidemic’ things only get harder. Keep your special Exclusive parts to a minimum. They are routinely longer lead items and add additional risk to your order. For example, ordering a Paint To Sample car added a ninth month to my already delayed order. If you can, see if they still offer a ‘Spring Tour’ or ‘Fall Tour’ to their European Delivery calendar. These two events offer more for no additional fee. Remember the old expression: “Indecision is the key to flexibility.” Stay flexible. I put about 3000 miles on mine in four weeks. Go ahead and extend your time in the seat over there if you can open up your schedule. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.
