Oh how I love that train of logic Dreamcar! LOL!!
When I was at the dealer a week before I placed my order there was a gentleman there to take delivery on his 4th Porsche, his new 'daily driver'.
2005 Porsche Turbo S $150K
He was going on and on about how practicle the car will be for him to drive everyday as opposed to his 360 Modena he's been 'putting up with'. Sheesh! He lives in a completely different stratosphere than I.
Anyway, right there with you buddy!

Whatever. I bet he uses the same kind of toilet paper as us.

Same boat ... 51, first Porsche on order, most spent on a car. If you want to get really practical about it, there's nothing on four wheels that is as much fun AND holds it's value as well, so its hardly wasted - look on it as investing in your happiness not spending!
I've got an April build, May delivery, 987 Seal Grey/Black/Black, 18" S wheels, Bi-Xenon, Sports steering wheel, BOSE, Heated seats (drove Saabs for a while - can't live without them now!). Can't wait ... but I guess I'm going to have to.

Waiting, waiting ...

Welcome to you, as well. I've waited for mine for 18 months, as soon as I knew the new Boxster was coming. Don't worry - the 1st 17 months are the worst. I've now got 12 days to go.

Thank for the welcome.
I place my LOI last July, so the wait is excruciating.
I am in sunny Lancashire, so there will be plenty of top-down opportunities

I'm the other side of Winchester so Bournemouth is quite a distance - Reading and Guildford are both a lot closer - so as my office is near Reading I chose that one.
I don't even have a build date yet so I have no idea when in May I will get mine, although I was told late April was a possibility.
Noticed someone able to order chrome tailpipe - I tried that for mine and they said I couldn't yet back in late January when I had to firm up the options. Looks like I will have to retrofit mine.

I'm lucky in a way, several of the options I would otherwise have had weren't available when I had to finalise my order such as Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Chrome plated tailpipes and centre console painted in exterior colour. Those would have put another Pounds1,000 on the tag!
Once I get the car I will have to see how easy it is to remove the tailpipes, get them chromed and then refit.

Is the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System an option already available to order with a new Boxster? I did not see this on the booklet I have with most of the items you can order.

The S/S tailpipe was added to my order on 3rd February.
This for April build, so you may still get it if you ask now.
Does adding an option after you placed your order delay the build time at all?

If there is still no build week set on your order then I beleive you can change anything you want. After that the order is locked and no changes can be made.
