    Have any turbos shown up at U.S. dealers yet?

    and if not, has anyone waiting for a launch car been given definite news about when their car will be delivered? My car remains sitting at the port in the U.S. and the salesman hasn't been able to find out any info on delivery to the dealership

    Re: I guess I can answer my own question

    Baboo,

    Which dealer in Florida has a TT? I'll be on vacation with the family on the "offical" July 15th date at Reeves (Tampa). I would like to see the TT before I leave if any dealer near Tampa has one. Think I'll ask my saleman if they will have one to view before July 15.

    Mike

    Alan, launch cars need to be at dealers LATEST June 24th, cleaned, checked and ready to go. So there is no hurry yet, your dealer needs half a day or so to prep the car.

    Re: Have any turbos shown up at U.S. dealers yet?

    Woody you are correct, orlando received two launch cars today, and champion down south received their launch car as well. My launch car landed at my dealer as well today (not going to say where) but I will own my 997TT with a temp tag and be driving it this monday. June 19th.

    Would that make me the first rennteamer to drive their own TT?

    I got a call today from my dealer (HBL) in Tyson's Corner, Virginia that they had gotten in one today. I dropped by and saw it (black), but unfortunately did not have my camera. It looks great. They are having an open house viewing Wednesday June 21 for those of you in the area. I will miss it since I will be in Europe. David

    You better keep this low level, driving a few rounds with a temp tag shouldn't be a problem but if you take the car home and Porsche is aware of it...well...I don't want to be your dealer. This could be viewed as a breach of contract, in a worst case scenario, the dealer could loose his official dealership license.

    Re: I know but...

    BTW, the black car I saw at Beverly Hills Porsche was NOT a launch car, it was a customer car. Their launch car is already long gone. I guess you can get cars more quickly if you are the number two Porsche dealer in the world. . .

    Pittsburgh dealers are still waiting, but Fred Baker Porsche in Ohio notified me yesterday that their Guards Red/Black 997TT arrived today. I'll be in OH early next week & hopefully I'll see it before its depositor takes delivery.

    Just passed by my local dealer "The Collection" and they had a lapis blue 997TT. It's definitely not my favorite color. I thought I would like the wheels more in person, but I don't like the fact that they are highly polished.

    Just hit a dealer and saw a black on black, ceramics, carbon interior.

    stunning. this car is more impressive in person than in any photo. especially the wheels. what looks like black on some areas is actually a graphite colored paint.

    Long gone probably means already sold a long time ago. Launch cars just started to arrive at dealers, BHP doesn't make an exception.

    Guys, the cars arriving now at dealers are all launch cars, even if they're already sold to a customer.

    Re: Have any turbos shown up at U.S. dealers yet?

    Just saw a 997TT at a CA P dealer (that gets 2% of total US alloc) on showrm floor...launch car unsold; avail for deliv today to highest bidder.

    Sounds like 6/24 release date is no big deal in US ....gotta love globalization....same "official" ww release date and same ride ht in US vs ROW. US is just stuck w/that worthless sunroof std, adding 80lbs in the worst location.....

    Car looked great live...but front spoiler looks lower than that of 996TTS ...could make for more challenging daily use on SF's hills and driveway/garage entries....

    Dealer claims rest of allocs for next 9 mos are already spoken for by real custs w/deposits...and to be sold at MSRP.

    Just saw two black 997TT at the dealer. I must say the car looks much much better in person, quite stunning. Pictures just don't do it justice. I was a little disapointed when I saw the first offical pictures, but now seeing it first hand, I think the car looks absolutely amazing. Go check one out if you can in your area, it's worth the trip for shure.

    I wonder if US dealers need the car documents to register (get a license plate) it. Because I doubt that these documents already arrived, here in Germany they arrive aprox. 2-3 days before the official launch. And like I said...buying it and driving it home are two different pair of shoes. Only 6 more days...
