Compensation for delivery delay and getting 2022MY Taycan so late in the year?

[abhi]

Hi
I ordered a 2022 Neptune blue Gts in March . It was produced in July 2022 and initial expected delivery was in august 2022.
But due to supply chain issues , the delivery got delayed until December.
The car is here getting ready for delivery . The only downside is I’m getting a 2022 car so late in the year , and the dealer is only giving $1,000 discount of the msrp.
shouldn’t Porsche compensate for the delay in delivery.
I am not sure should I go ahead and get the car .

Take the car if you want the car
$1000 is $1000 better than a lot of people, frankly.

If you don’t you will make someone else very happy and you go will back on the 1 year waiting list (Porsche and other brands)

Not fair but there is a shortage and they know it.

btw 2-0

I took delivery last week. I got nothing but what I ordered at the price I agreed to back in April, which was msrp. They’re getting 15k above msrp in my neck of the woods now. And the 2023 prices have gone up. I think $1,000 back is pretty nice (unless it’s missing options like bose or electric steering column).

I ordered mine in July 2021, it was finished in July 2022 but just like yours was hit by supply chain issues and I received it 2 days ago.

My dealer gave me a discount on Porsche winter wheels for it.

It was not the dealer’s fault the car was late, if there was anything to complain about it would be somewhat sparse update information from Porsche.

In reality the delay is mainly due to Covid and the war in Ukraine. I am sure Porsche didn’t get a discount on the scarce chips etc., probably the reverse.
I am sure the dealer had to pay in full too.

So logically you are no more disadvantaged than the dealer or Porsche so don’t deserve a discount any more than they do IMO. We would all have liked one though

If you really feel somebody should be obliged to compensate your wait I suggest you write to Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin outlining your dissatisfaction and requesting compensation.

Let us know how it goes.

Yeah I think there are a lot of us in the same boat. $1k off is probably the best I’ve heard anyone getting actually. My RWD has similar timelines to you, July build delivering in Dec, as well as other people I know.

For me I’d really only heavily push for compensation if I hear of a lot of orders significantly after mine being delivered before me, which I’m not really seeing here. Most people with early 2023 builds are going to be taking delivery in January or after

That sucks , no doubt about it. What was the GTS base price 22 vs 23?

It was 22

It was 22

I understand , but whet was the difference in price between a 22 and 23?

MY22 & MY23 cars are identical thanks to the uPdate.

Apart from the frustration I think you did well to get some compensation.

Pretty common and you are lucky to get $1000 off. We had a 2021 delivered in 2022 last year bc of a port hold, it wasn’t Porsche but the ford mache gt. It sucked but we knew reordering would have just delayed even more and then who knows how long that would take. And our taycan was held at the port for over 3 mos, we didn’t get anything off then either. Just happy to pay msrp bc it’s hard to even find an allocation. If you want the car then take the car but trying to reorder seems like you could end up in the same situation. It’s just common with all the chip shortages and transport disruptions.

If you want the car, buy it. If not, someone else will be super happy to pick up your cancellation (as other forum member just did on a recent GTS).... I'm pretty sure they'll turn it quickly and the dealer will probably get MSRP or better. You'll be either waiting another year and/or looking for a different car altogether or scouring the used market.

You're getting a decent deal at MSRP (or any money off) - way better than most on here from what I've seen here and Facebook. If you look back a few days, you could be the guy that waited for his car, and last minute the dealer failed the PPI and now is waiting on AC/or heater components that are back ordered.

I had gotten a discount when order was placed in March. My car was suppose to arrive in Aug but I finally got the delivered Dec 1st.

I was offered Rubber Matts and happily took them.

I just took delivery. Honestly once I saw my Taycan, I didn’t even care that I had waited so long. It is just a thing of beauty. That being said, my finance manager at closing gave me $500 off the windshield coverage and gave me prepaid maintenance (2yrs—which I believe equates to one service) for free without me asking. So all together about $500+$770 (prepaid maintenance cost vs $1200 for the first maintenance).

9 months for a GTS is pretty good. In the UK they are currently quoting 2 years if you order now. Take the car. Thank them for the $1000, go out and enjoy!
