I noticed a number of waiters for their 997S have tracked their car. Is there a website or other way to follow the build/shipping progress of my 997S? I have an order number and invoice number.
I would suggest that you check with your dealer, notably your salesman. Dealers have a computer link to Porsche and can determine the status of your order.
When I ordered a 997S in late October, the dealer gave me a rough delivery date of mid-late February, approximately 120 days after the order was placed. I emailed my salesman several times, and he was able to give me better information, first telling me that the delivery would be moved up quite a bit. At first, he thought that the car would be built during the first week of January, but then the rush of getting the Cayman S to market in the U.S. delayed that build 2 weeks. I talked to my salesman today, and he said that the latest information was that my car's production was probably started on Tuesday, possibly finished then. He did not yet have a VIN but thought that would come within a short time. He's now anticipating that I could take delivery during the first full week of February.
While I was a bit reluctant to keep "bugging" my salesman, he has been very accomodating in answering all my questions about my order. So I strongly urge you to keep in touch with your salesman, maybe calling him once every 4 weeks after you have ordered the car, and then, 10 weeks or so after ordering it, start calling him every two weeks to get the latest information.
