UK Deposits £

[Speuk]

Just wondering what deposits dealers in the UK are requesting and terms attached to refund? Looking to order a CT 4S.
Likely to be Q4 2023 according to Porsche GB. One dealer I'm talking to is asking for £3k deposit but I've seen on here others have paid £5k

Please can you share your experience?

Reading OPC : 5K refundable upto final config/locking (ie when order gets allocated to manufacture)

5k is standard for Taycan among other models and 10k for 911 up to I think 25k for GT cars. I've seen the full list, I think when l paid mine...
Refundable until final lock.

£5K for Taycan is normal (more for other models) 100% refundable up to order lock.

Suppose to be £5k for Taycan, £3k for Macan, £10k for the GT cars as shown by dealer docs when they send you new order form. However Hatfield only asked me for £3k. Tbh not really fussed either way as fully refundable prior to lock date. However some dealers (most likely franchised) will ask for you to top up to 10% just prior to lock date which then becomes non-refundable.

Thanks, I was going to try Hatfield as it is only 4 miles further than Reading for me. They are also much cheaper on servicing. What was your experience like with Hatfield?

Yep a shocker. ST is Q2/Q3 if Porsche GB in Reading can be believed. I guess with supply chain issues from Ukraine and elsewhere it is anyone's guess

Wow. That is a long wait. And could get even longer if any more unexpected world event occur. I can’t quite believe how popular Porsche are compared to other brands. Or rather how mismatched their supply is to the demand. Think of all the hours you will spend on the configurator in that time!

Haha yes too much time to play with the spec. The only upside is it will most likely be MY2024 but more expensive

I do have to wonder about Porsche Reading. A friend ordered a 911 from them instead of his local centre because they told him May 22 rather than December 22. By the time he had placed his deposit it had become July. Now looking at next year. I know events have conspired against production, but it seems unlikely that they could ever have fulfilled their initial date

Yeah but double check as I originally paid £3k to reserve and then £2K to order. No allocation yet (GTS ST last Nov).

Except Turbo and Turbo S Taycan’s - those require a £10k deposit - at least from my OPC.

I was wondering if you were going to say that 2024 was a typo. Q4 2024 will likely be MY25.
Looks like anyone planning to change Taycans at 2 years needs to put a deposit on the replacement before they've even taken delivery of the car that will be replaced
