hey Cole - was at my dealor tonight and saw the status of my build online. it is a week ahead of schedule and now sits at the port in Eberm or something like that. should be in Halifax in under 2 weeks and at the dealor around the 19th.

not sure if i will take it but when i see it things may be different. toying with keeping the Cayenne and trading the 991 for a Lotus Evora but who knows?

Current shipping schedule out of Emden, Germany. If you know which ship, you'll be able to track it on marinetraffic.com (if in range) or vesselfinder.com. "Paradise Ace" is just arriving in Halifax.

the dealors in Canada can now track and see all status issues right off their Porsche site. We were looking at the new system on thursday.

i am still kind of shocked it was ahead of schedule. it had a lot of exclusive options - strange ones like the leather & carmine stitched instrument surround, steering console & even the rear view mirror has the carmine red stitching.

if this one is ahead of schedule can't believe your's isn't as well Cole.

nice...! better post pics on Sunday

Also, when you are done, would you mind sharing the Money Factor and Residual you were given (assuming you are leasing and not buying)?

not leasing, but buying. the lease rate was horrible. it actually costs less for me to purchase especially i got 3rd party financing at 1.99%

Gotcha....I own my own business, so rightly or wrongly, generally lease and run my car through the company. Still likely a tad more 'spendy than buying, but I like the flexibility.

Anyway, we are excited for you...post those pics Sunday baby.

Cole - like you i run them through my corporation. Porsche Canada is 7% or so right now - might be 7 1/4%

i like doing a 12 month so in a GTS you pay 40% in 12 months through the corp & then buy out or re-lease personally at the residual value.

Caution - don't get to use it for anything but business in the 1st year, but then in year 2, it is like you just got a new vehicle. doing it this way doesn't really matter as much about the % rate as it is short period.
