Sport tourismo 4s ordered

[sjkendra87]

Fingers crossed there aren't any significant delays. Mine is due in Reading 28th November so hopefully 1st week of December delivery. I won't be able to resist unwrapping it before Christmas Day though ?

Just curious, did your dealer offer you a paint protection product where they put something onto the paintwork and also offer a alloy/dent product?

who/do many people take this or not?

I negotiated free all weather maps and boot liner by email at time of order. Then when I phoned to say I'm happy to go ahead he tried to persuade me ti swap those for "more valuable " paint protection which I declined. Most of the dealer applied paint coatings are just cheap hard wax and my bmw dealer told me they allow an hour and 20 mins to apply it so cost them them is virtually nothing and therefore better than having to give me mats etc.

Never let the dealers do paint protection fund a good detailer who will be much cheaper and much better.

On alloy / dent protection it is seldom good value. I once got a good deal from Stratsone on alloy/tyre cover which just about paid off.

I have a fantastic alloy repair place "Bespoke Alloys" near Denham/ Uxbridge which do "as new" repairs on diamond cut alloys. They completely strip the wheel, repaint and cut. They charged £96 Inc vat for one of my 22" bmw alloys and will lend you a wheel while they do it. So you can usually get a few wheels done before you exceed the cost of the premium.

I do.

Alloy and tyre protection - dealer provided.

Gtechniq Platinum coating - dealer provided. Perfect & guaranteed.

I always take the paint protection. I've had 2 identical cars back to back before, one with and one without, and the difference is noticeable. I always manage to get it chucked in free just before signing paperwork

It was Hull Porsche.

just hope we are making the right decision regards practically as we have a young family (8 & 5)

was blown away with the test drive, it was a gts we tried so hoping the 4s comes close just couldn’t afford the gts.

I spoke to Hull, very helpful sales rep said the issue is that I want a GTS and they are quoting 24 months.

If I wanted a 4S then it would be much sooner. Might have to play with the configurator again.

always seemed helpful when I’ve contacted them.

Can’t believe there is that much difference in delivery times between the GTS and 4s. Obviously the GTS is a more popular car?

The waitlist on the GTS is at least 3 times bigger compared to the 4S as it‘s a New release model and seems to hit the middle point in the range.

In my simplistic view of the world a manufacturer would make more of what is in demand, I emailed my rep and yes, the wait for 4S is probably less, although not certain.
