Hi Martyn, its in addition to the configurator price. 

Thanks John, next stop for me is going to my local OPC for a coffee and a chat!

Good luck and congratulations on the purchase. I can’t believe the wait is 12 months for a new one. 
My friend placed an order on one in March 21 and it’s due next month, things must have changed very quickly 

Hi, the 12 months quoted is only what I’ve read online lately, I haven’t been told officially. For purely financial reasons, I need to wait until September ‘22!  (Unfortunately) 😞

Hi Martyn, Its a great car I'm sure you will love it.

I've an order in for a GT4 with PDK  which hopefully will roll off the production line this Friday.

OPCs are different but the one I deal with, and have for the past decade, only takes deposits where they are confident the car will be built. As I understand it at present allocations of build slots are only confirmed on a quarter by quarter basis although the OPC is generally given an idea of what they might get from Porsche UK. If you look at the post 'Will they sell me a GT4?' on the Boxster/Cayman thread on Pistonheads you will get a good understanding of the experiences of a number of people trying to get new 4L cars

Production of new cars are affected by the world wide shortage of microchips and in the case of the 4L caysters there has been an additional problem that circa 1000 engines, on cars manufactured earlier this year, required to be replaced. 

The 'on the road' cost is mainly the new rates based on the cost of the car and its emissions. For a 4L car with PDK, lower emmisons than a manual apparenly!, its a total of £1905. 

Hope this helps and good  luck!

Hi John,
 

Many thanks for your in depth and very helpful reply, quick question, do you happen to know whether the £1905 new car tax is incorporated in the Porsche configerator price? ie the price quoted is what you pay? I know it includes VAT but it doesn’t mention anything else.

Thanks in anticipation,

Martyn 

Hi all,

As title above, having never ordered a new Porsche with a long waiting list, I wondered if anyone has any experience they would like to share. From what I understand there is an approximate 12 month delivery wait for the PDK model and I’m more than happy to wait. I have configured my order on the Porsche Configurator but before I approach my OPC it would be nice to have a heads up. Ideally I would like a September/October 2022 delivery.

I have read on PH that you need to add a UK ‘on the road’ costing ie imagine for the extra road fund licence cost and possibly delivery as well, to the configurator costings, does anyone know different? Also is the deposit refundable say up to start of the build date, and once ordered and deposit paid is the price honoured against any increases?

I presume I cannot agree a trade in price for my 981 until very close to car collection, which is another unknown to consider when budgeting!

Any advice would be very gratefully received.

Thanks Martyn

Courtesy cars are normally a Porsche, be aware though that ANY damage to the vehicle you’ll pay a grand on their insurance for the excess including windscreen chips/cracks. Ask me how I know. 

Same at Colchester OPC but to be fair,  you only pay up to £1,000 excess, ie if the damage comes to £300, then that’s all you pay.

Fantastic modification Daz, never thought it was going to turn out as great as it has. My compliments Sir! 

Hiya, I read your post with much interest, I have a few questions if you don’t mind, re the re map, raising your engine power by circa 30bhp, how much did it cost and was there much of a insurance loading? I presume also that said remap would invalidate a Porsche warranty, however would they know?

Finally, how much did the ppf wrap cost?

sorry for all the questions but I’ve considered these two improvements for some time.?

Just spent a thoroughly entertaining 20 mins reading this thread, Paul your posts were great,?
