GTS Orders UK

[Deleted member 7514]

Dick Lovett dealer and roughly 10x lower revenues compared to Sytner. Perhaps that limits how many allocations they can get.

The general key learning from this forum, is if you ever want to buy a Porsche again, either order from Reading (25% of allocations go here); or do that + drop a deposit at your nearest dealer just in case.

They probably won't care if you cancel because the wait could be years if they only get 1 allocation a quarter.

That also suits Porsche as it evens out their P&L rather than trying to rush out glut of new orders.

If you really want the car, and don't mind waiting, perhaps give Reading a call and drop £5k there as well if you can stomach it. Who knows, you might get an allocation much sooner than expected, and I also expect the 18+ month timelines being quoted by major dealers is to under promise, but overdeliver.

I expect those cars will turn up sooner, not least with cancellations because of recession/job losses or customers just getting frustrated with the wait. Porsche can rush out orders if they want; why they are purposefully extending delivery times for so many customers is squarely financial in my opinion.

I'm not sure it's correct that 25% of allocations going to Reading is true...

I think you mean 25% of all allocations goes to the Porsche Retail Group which include West London, Mayfair, Guilford and Hatfield ?

It might be that, but I am quite sure I read Porsche Reading gets 25% of allocations as the PRG flagship.

Dropped into dealer this morning and saw my GTS ST for the first time today and will post some photos, the car is complete with all that it should have.

That's exciting. What colour?

New Car Day - it’s certainly worth the very long wait!

Look absolutely brilliant. Making me think I should have stayed with a Grey instead of the Crayon we’ve coming! ?

It’s fab congratulations. Love those spyder wheels on the ST.

Supposedly mine will arrive UK in two weeks. Maybe!

Has anybody thought what these delays have cost us? In my case, the car was built in July and I know I’ll be getting less now for my old Taycan than I would have done then, even with any price increase factored into the new car. . . .

Stunning - is that a PTS colour?

No PTS, It’s Volcano Grey - I was worried I wouldn’t like it, as I’ve often defaulted to black cars, but I’m so pleased I didn’t this time. The contrast with the black GTS styling bits is better than I’d hoped for…

It’s got the GTS Racetex with Crayon stitching and seatbelts - it looks (and feels) awesome. Porsche Design clock is the cherry on top!

I think it looks great in Crayon too, especially in GTS form. I’m sure you’ll love it when it arrives.

Great colour. Picked mine up last week ?

Our OPC have confirmed that our GTS is complete and on its way to Emden. Looking like the end of the month for collection!
