UK: When did you order and when did (or will) your car arrive?

[Bonx]

Ordered end of June, heard yesterday that my build will be in February. I ordered from a franchised dealer. Judging by the replies on this thread it seems fairly random how long delivery will take. I wonder if Porsche’s own centres have an advantage when it comes to delivery dates.

Today heard that my build has been bumped up to December so that’s a hopeful sign for all those waiting. Maybe the bottlenecks are beginning to ease.

Interesting what we get told. I haven't been given a build date, but told build will start shortly and complete by 3/12. Here's hoping.

So if I can't get it before Christmas and get offered it between Christmas and New Year, should I wait until January so that it is a 2022 car? Or does that not make any difference?

Should be 2022 car so need to worry and will be worth the wait to be fair there is nothing like excitement of a new car wish could brand and bottle it

Mine stayed on track so hopefully no delays on delivery. Will be 4 month bang on if it does.

Looking at that, I won't be getting it until January. Completion date to dealership entry is 1 month and mine doesn't complete until 3rd Dec. So my dealer is probably being a bit optimistic suggesting that I will get if before Christmas. Oh well.

My MY22 Turbo S was meant to have left the factory on 22 October and was due at my OPC on 12 November. As of today, the car is still shown as at the factory. The OPC are now hoping for delivery in December, but have admitted they don’t really know.

Similar situation here. They must be putting exceptional care into the manufacturing of our cars for them to take 6 weeks. Probably just adding a few extra HP, just for us.

Just spoken to Norwich and our dates are aligned, although I've been told not to trust any of them!

Ordered my 4S saloon early Sep told Q1/early Q2 2022 delivery, spoke to my SE yesterday, he said that they need to keep spinning up the application every 3 months to keep it live. Has anyone else had this? Strange that they have to keep credit checking every 3 months. Hitting a credit report with a hard search every 3 months doesn’t feel to slick. Unless they do a soft search, anyone know?

Its only in Germany. How can it take so long to deliver to UK. Pity you cannot pick up .

Early Sept I couldn’t decide between a loaded RWD or 4S with some goodies.
Salesman convinced me to go for RWD (unless I was going to race away from lights) based on the fact they were opening a new dedicated production line for RWD’s. I did.
I was contacted early Oct saying they should hear about next build slots in November.
Still waiting

I ordered my 4S beginning of April and only got confirmation yesterday it will be ready next week. I think it depends on how many options you’ve added and what exactly. Semi conductor issue seems to be the main problem. Still, I’m told it’s going to be worth the wait … let’s see. Very excited.! Good luck

So you waited nearly 8 months - sounds about par for the course.
Worth the wait I’m sure. Enjoy!

I’ve been ordered by the Mrs to order a white charger to match the front of the house! That’s it - doesn’t matter about anything else as long as it’s white?
