i put down the order...not really...

Yesterday i went to my dealer to put down the order..but..

In the Porsche dealers order form on the PC there is no words of Meteor Gray..in the car configurator there is the code Q9 or Q7 if i remember right..but nothing in the dealers order form..
So..tomorrow my dealer will contact Porsche Italia to know more..and more also on the Exclusive option..to know definitively if from August production there will be the availability of CGT seats,roll bar etc..

He must also ask for the painted rims..
from my point of view the rims of the Turbo are just painted partially Meteor gray,so why i must pay the painted rims if they are just painted?

And again,the steering wheel with carbon insert is only multifunctional,but is not the "sport" version..so he must ask also if there is a steering wheel with carbon insert but no multifunction...

he tell me that he think than on the order form they have now there is only the necessary to order first cars..then ,in a few days there will be all to order the car in production from August..
First car he will receive in June will be CGT silver,with PCCB etc..really well optioned and expensive..

He confirmed mine september delivery..six months of waiting..again

Did you try the clutch at Geneva? 'Manly' I would say. It's not for those with a weak left leg! Back to the old days...

"manly" clutch

next time ask for the key and turn on the engine - you might find that the clutch seems a little easier to push in

Re: i put down the order...not really...

Dario, Meteor Grey is not available before August, earliest. This is what I heard lately, I don't know if this is accurate information.
The CGT shells may not be available at all or a less expensive and heavier version WITH thorax airbags.
Either way, they won't be available for the first half of the MY 2007 (all 997 Turbo are MY 2007 cars).

I give you a little hint and I think I gave it before to you: if you want to get a car as soon as possible, order it NOW. The more you wait, the better the chance that you end up with a car end of this year or even later.

I wouldn't trust your dealer too much regarding "promises" because most dealers don't know yet how many cars they get before the factory summer vacation and even shortly after. So there is a good chance that you end up with no car in Sept.

I may be wrong, I don't know your dealer but as far as I heard, only slightly over 200 cars are available for the whole Germany before the factory shutdown in summer and even after the factory vacation, the availability of cars will be limited for a few weeks or even months.

To give you another hint: some official Porsche dealers in Germany get only one car as far as I heard before the summer holiday. ONE.

And this is actually the showcar they need to do the presentation for customers.

So I wish you good luck but if you really want to get a 997 Turbo to your personal specs and with everything inside it, you better not hope for an early delivery.

Re: i put down the order...not really...

Thanks Christian..

but..i don't whant to have the car before July but with options i don't like...

My dealer tell me that he have one car before the factory vacation..maybe two..but not Meteor gray becouse as you said is from August production..and with PCCB and other options..

Mine will be the first from the "second "slot..free to specs how i nedd..

Is one year and half that me and my dealer are really "friends" so..i don't think he whant to take joke of me..or at least i hope..

this week maybe i must know something more..

Re: i put down the order...not really...

Dario, Meteor Gray in the GT3 material I picked up from Geneve is 'planned for 08/2006' so that matches what RC heard. I suppose they will introduce the colour at the same time for both models.

I'm going GT3 but my dealer told me that if I ordered a TT on 28/2 for sure I wouldn't see my car before 2007. and there are only 7 in front of me. They say that they are going to be much rarer than the 996 TT.

Re: i put down the order...not really...

John,thanks for the update..

My 997 TT has the deposit down from May 2004... so i wait september only to have the Meteor gray,not becouse i have too much people in front of me..

Sure..finally it seems that Porsche whant to sell the 997 TT in a good way,to try to save the resale value for his customer.....but i don't what to belive to much in this theory

Re: i put down the order...not really...

I hear what your saying, but I guess I was just damn lucky. I was able to spec my car out exzactly how I wanted, and the dealer tells me it's the very first car they're getting, perhaps they're selling me their demo car, but let me spec it out? Sometime around an April build with a June delivery.

I discussed with the company that imports Porsche here in Switzerland, and at the moment, they said they do not know how they are going to manage the huge demand and numbers orders received until now. The 997TT is selling like crazy

Yes, dealers usually sell their "demos" configured to specs because most of them get only one car before the factory shutdown and there isn't really the need for a demo since the 997 Turbo sells pretty well right now.

BTW: if your location is the US (Florida?), you won't see your car before July 8th.

I have seen the sample of meteor grey, it kinda looks like seal grey (a lot actually) but it is a bit darker,like slate (that brownish kind)...

Re: i put down the order...not really...

My dealer just called me and informed me that i can place the final order till tomorrow...
He also told me that i will receive my car on June (as i was 2nd on the waiting list) and that the car here in Greece with the taxes costs 190.000 euros.. (WITHOUT EXTRAS)
so I asked him how much will it cost me if I wanted PCCB Sport Chrono, Automatic Gearbox (YES RC YOU WON), Sport Seats, and a Parking assist, and he told me that it would be about 218.000 euros..
I canceled the order of the car, and now i am first on the waiting list for Gt3 RS.
In the first sec of my conversation i tought to buy the automatic gearbox... (manual was not an option for me),

But later I thought what are you ready to do.. to give 220.000 euros for an AUTOMATIC CAR ??

Now my last chance to buy an other Porsche (AND NOT THE 2007 Gallardo) is the 997 RS. (as i will definetly sell my 997 2S cabrio).

Lets see...

$220,000 Euro's for a Porsche?

My god, they are going to be building at least 5000 of them per year if not more. Can you imagine the depreciation on this car? As JC would say;

EPIC!

You'd pay the same or even more for an F430. In Europe, to top it off!
Nick, when will you learn that what counts isn't exclusivity? With somewhat bigger numbers comes the assurance, that we won't have glue coming out of the vents, staining the leather

Did i mention that for my F430 spider I paid 280.000 euros ?!
Taxes is the biggest problem here in Greece for cars above 2000cc ... Government earns SO MUCH money from good cars...

And nowadays think that we have a reduction of 25%.
Before 5 years cars were REALLY expensive...

Re: i put down the order...not really...

I will not tell you what I was offered for my 430 Spider. But here is a hint...biblical!

Fortunately, though I put a great deal of emphasis on money value and return, I cannot drive around in any car with a pocket full of dollars and get the same enjoyment I get from driving the Spider. AS they say " LIVE BIG!"
