Opinion needed.

This build: http://www.porsche-code.com/PLIJQTH7
is available to purchase at a dealer early July.
This is the build I have my deposit on: http://www.porsche-code.com/PL71QVU3 with delivery estimate November onwards. Would you wait or buy the one available?

The OP is asking a lot of the readers of this forum. kennedyjack expects that someone is going to click on both builds, read the specs for each, compile a list of the differences and then express an opinion. Who's going to spend that kind of time answering some random question on a car forum? Turns out, I will.

These are substantially similar builds for a Volcano Grey Metallic 4S. To save you all the trouble, here are the differences:

The car available in July

• Standard Interior in Black
• Under Door Puddle Light Projectors
• Sport Chrono Package
• Tire Sealing Compound and Electric Air Compressor
• Wheel Center Caps with Colored Porsche Crest
• Porsche InnoDrive incl. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Smoking Package
• Advanced 4-Zone Climate Control
• Passenger Display

The car with a November delivery target

• Standard Interior in Slate Grey
• Rear Axle Steering incl. Power Steering Plus
• Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) with Calipers in White
• All-Season Tires for 20" Wheels
• Interior Accents in Dark Silver
• Door-Sill Guards in Black Brushed Aluminum
• $1,880 cheaper than the ‘July’ car

Of the two, I voted for the July car, because now is better than later, and I think Sport Chrono (and the dial on the steering wheel it provides) is a must. The only thing I would really miss would be the Rear Steering I think, although presumably OP selected the All-Season tires for a reason.

you have the extra rear seat, and rear axle steering on your build? I would only take the one of the lot if they offer a discount. If not 4 months will pass quick, I promise

Both have the extra seat. The only reason I am hesitant is because of the rear axle steering. I don't know if it makes that much of a difference.

Hahaha. Thanks for doing something I was too lazy to do. I respect you

I think i'm with July too I really like the turbo wheels with the red calipers. especially on the Gray car (which is my order).

This is like asking which Greek island is better, Mykonos or Santorini. They are BOTH going to be superb and the differences between the 2 cars will seem meaningless over time. Just go for whats available and stop over thinking and over engineering the buying process.

You will forever ask yourself if it makes a difference if you do not wait. I spec it on mine and am patient enough to wait a year. Thing is it’s coming in 2 weeks. I took all options of sportiness. I drive mostly 40KM a week. Probably do not need them, but I would always ask myself what it feels like if I do not have them. But that’s just me

Just an update. So it turns out the dealer will be selling the "July" one at market price which might be $10-15k above MSRP. Give me a break. I'll stick with my November one or whenever I get it.

Edit: Is that allowed? Can I complain to anyone lol, like the general manager?

 

[bangersandmash]

From your flag it suggests your based in Pakistan? I am not sure what the rules on sales are over there.

I would wait for your specified machine

Don’t complain, just find another dealer

July.
Bird in hand, etc. etc.
Who knows where things will be in November, especially with production.

Complaining won't do anything. Negotiating may.

Hi,

my mistake, I did not see your location on my phone.

If you are US based, then find a new dealer.

I wanted to order from a dealer in France who was pretty lazy, so in the end I ordered from a dealer in Germany. the dealer in Germany in the end got me a car with a discount and its new.

I did not even ask, he also gave 5% discount on any aftersales parts.

ok maybe thats luck, but you never know. So try another dealer?
