Any way to deal with delivery after the tariff date?

When it landed on US soil, you were safe.
Congratulation and please share pics when you get it

Thanks Paul. I'll post pics and change my avatar from the computer generated pic to a real one. The sales person has promised me video when the unload and unwrap it later today. I should have it next week! Going with the full body PPF at my local shop.

Congrats! FWIW, I fed ChatGPT my signed purchase order and it agrees with me, it is not subject to taxes/tariffs etc… They are locked into delivering the car at the price we agreed on. ”My production is starting soon” in TYD with a start date of April 13…. We’ll see what ends up happening as the customer always loses.

Right now I’m in turtle mode. I’m not calling my dealer, let them come to me and I’m going to expect that they/Porsche NA will honor contracts that were signed… In January!

Curious here if anyone has heard anything from their SA regarding their orders or have received their cars?

Trump Tariffs paused for now by Federal judges.

Hopefully the Porsche sends the cars ASAP before this pause is overturned on appeal

My car competition has been delayed again till the end of June 2025. It started production 4/7/25

Unfortunately, the section 232 tariffs which contained autos are not part of the court ruling. Hopefully that’s next.

That’s wild! My car took over a month for some reason. What did you spec?

Turbo GT Weissach in Purple Sky metallic.

Shoot! I thought it was across the board

What, you can't just find one of those sitting on a dealer lot?

These are definitely major headwinds.

PFS just did their first lease ABS for 2025, mainly for EVs.

There are a bunch on dealer lots, some sitting since October 2024, but none in Purple Sky metallic

Wow, I had no idea, a dozen in total:
https://finder.porsche.com/us/en-US...2.34037989999999,-72.4968189,-1&order=closest
.... including one at a dealer only 90 minutes from me, and another in the East that is somehow used at only 223 miles:

That type of sentiment could cause car companies to hold cars at the port for weeks, hoping there will be a some ruling which will halt tariffs during which they can process them all at once, in case it gets reinstated again. This unfortunately could means long delays for people waiting on their cars.

Yes, I track those daily and spoke to all the dealers.
Only 2 inventory Weissachs have been sold.

The last 3 digits of the VIN give you an idea of how old they are. There are about 250 total Turbo GT/Weissach for the US.

I have the most leverage with the Pale blue in NC, but the color is not for me, not matter how hard I try

^ I'm not sure whether to be more impressed that any have been sold from the lot (or rather, from the dealer showroom) or that so many extra were bought for dealer inventory! (And yes, that pale blue is kind of underwhelming for a car like that.)

A lot of them are canceled orders from buyers, some are allocations given to dealers that they took so they can get more 911 allocations.
