Do you have an order reference number? If you do PM it to me. I have news, from the horse's mouth......
Got a surprise phone call this morning from the dealer...They are trying to put me in a 2010 "with a great discount"... Supposedly, it will be just like the one I ordered...It sounds suspicious but I'm going to play along...There was allegedly a "Porsche meeting" somewhere in NY state this week...And my name popped up and they are in hustle mode to get me what i want...I will admit that I have purchased 5 brand new cars from this dealer since 2005 but I highly doubt my name "came up"...There is a car in NY state that is very close the one I ordered...save the PCBB/Red dials/Ski Bag...I bet this is the car that they are going to get me...The PCBB and red dials can be added...I'm curious to see how they handle the Ski Bag w/ the 40/20/40 rear seat...I'll keep you updated!!!

sounds good! You could always add the redials, but the ski bag and PCBB, guess not. "great discount" sounds ok, but how much? Keep us posted!

Wow, interesting on the build date of June. I have settled for a car that doesn't have all that i want and my dealer**** is making me pay 1500 for shipping the car to it. Porscheusa also said tough luck on shipping, they will not assist in anyway, illegal, as in trade assist?! Whatever that means. So, I will walk away from this Porsche buy with a bad taste all around.

Curious to them still building 2010s in June. Hope it all works out, sounds like you are making out, especially if they give you that discount;-)

Keep the updates coming.

Actually, it's a July build now with a August delivery. Don't know what happened to the June build date and didn't ask! Just feed up at this point! Had to make some changes to the order because it's a 2010 instead of a 2011. All I do know is that it's in PLPROD status and I have a completion date and a tenative delivery date +/- a week!!!

In past years the factory shut down in August and the build year changed when production resumed in September. I assume this is the current process.

I ordered a 4S in March 2010 and then told I would get a 2011. Now I'm told build date was July 3 2010 and will be a 2010 and not 2011. How can that be... I'm pissed

I with you...2011 has some standard equipment and better Nav and chassis gizmo's that the 2010...My build is July 19...I've waited so long I'm not even excited...They are so scared I'm not going to take delivery that they are paying for my flight down there...I was suppose to have the car before I moved out of state
