I haven't got a delivery date yet, but I did receive confirmation today that my car has been completed. The dealer's computer showed: PRDLST (Factory last checkpoint). The best estimate from the dealer is that I should get the car within 3 to 4 weeks.

I am sorry, please don't bash me but I don't understand your interest in a convertible 997. The car simply lacks of character in my opinion; it just looks like any sedan or saab models you cut off the solid roof to replace it with a canvas. Why didn't they bring a drastic modification to the lines when building the convertible? I find old 911 oil-air cooled cabriolet more interesting to look at. What annoys me in the new convertible is that its overall shape is "too predictable" and lacks the temper making the old versions so inspiring.

I don't think your dealer could actually place the order in September. The dealers didn't even receive their order guides for the cab until late November/early December. Porsche would not accept an order before that. I actually gave my dealer my order the 1st week of December and by the 15th they had received confirmation from PCNA that the order had been accepted. The first allocation my dealer received was for March builds. Mine was the first order placed by my dealer for a cab, so in theory I should receive their first non-launch cab. My dealer has a good allocation since they are one of the 5 largest dealers in the USA. Maybe your dealer didn't get any March build allocation. Ask them for the current status. They should be able to at least get an estimated build completion date.

I just got my VIN today, so it is official, my cab has been made. Last Tuesday I was told by my dealer that my car had passed checkpoint 8, which is supposedly one of the last places you car goes through in the factory. Today my car shows that production has been completed. I don't know why it would take 6 days from the car passing the last checkpoint to officially showing that production has been completed. 3/15/05 Check point 8, 3/21/05 Production completed. Perhaps the car has to pass the roadtest and everything else before it is offically completed. Hopefully I will see it in a month or so.

Got word today that I'm PRDEST 4-25. I should have the car by the second week in May.
Perfect timing actually. It was snowing here last week. By the second week of May I'll be able to use a convertible.
Guess I got really lucky. Didn't order the car until January and it'll be done next month. Sweeeeeeeet !

Do you know why this happened ?
Do you know which port Porsche ships to ? How long from the time it reaches port to ship across the US ?
Thanks for your help btw w/ the codes.

I was in the same boat... had a 3/7 build and sat for about 10 days before it finally showed on the boat. Should have the end of next week or week of 4/11.
Stradale.... would have been nice taking the top down yesterday. Instead i had some fun running over the pigeons in my SUV.

They cannot order the DVD until they can get the VIN for your car. They cannot get the VIN until the car is completed at the factory. Once they tell you the car is completed ask for the VIN and also tell them to order your DVD.

Well.... The wait of the last two months was hard enough, but winter weather in NY had made it a bit easier. This afternoon i got my long awaited call.... My 997S Cab will be at the dealer tomorrow (only two weeks later than promised!!!). The weather has gotten nice here and I will NOT be able to get any sleep for the next 2 days after reading all these posts. I think these 2 days will seem longer than the last 2 months.
