I couldn't spot any changes in the standard spec from before, so I presume Porsche will simply state it's the effect of inflation. I ordered last month from Bournemouth OPC and am currently expecting delivery in autumn 2022 or early 2023, so wouldn't be surprised to see another price hike before then too. I'll clearly have to shop around for a better savings interest rate in the meantime!

To say I have a allocation with a build slot in August thought this day was never going to come at least I now know I will get a car. Pity I may not see the car till late September or even October. So would be going straight into garage until spring. Quote Reply #43

Watch the news to see the doom and gloom. The down turn is on its way. Does that mean that the wait list is going to shorten. Of corse it does. Best thing is to buy what you want, when you want and enjoy it. My Mecan is close to delivery and I don’t give a **** that its value will drop. Thats what cars do. I might be rough but I’m slow as well Quote Reply #45

Sadly just a week too late for you to bring it on the R7 WOTY or MOTY to help get it run in.

I didn’t select them on mine and in hind sight believe it to be a mistake. I have them on he New Mecan I picked up last week and think they are well worth having.

Put our deposit down for a GTS 4.0 about a month ago and being told by our OPC that it's likely Q4 2023..... Quote Reply #51

Given that I ordered in October last year, based on Glenn's timings, I presume I'll now be looking at late Q1 next year for a build slot. That suits me fine, although there are increasing rumours of a new Boxster next year now. However, in the latest Porsche Post it simply referred to a suspected RS, rather than an entirely new / updated model range. If it's confirmed that a new version will indeed come out in 2023, I might then look to switch to it, even though that would mean waiting longer. I fully expect that whatever I buy will prove to be my last-ever (new) ICE car, so I'd like it to be particularly memorable, and I would probably then keep hold of it for far longer than my normal 2-3 year period.

I thought after the GTS 4.0, the next Boxster/Cayman would be the electric version..... Deposit down on Boxster GTS 4.0.....the wait continues Quote Reply #53

Next 718 will be electric however they are releasing a Spyder RS and most probably some special editions from the Porsche parts bin.

I"m intrigued to see a Spyder RS, but considering getting a regular Spyder is like finding rocking horse poo, I'll stick with my GTS order. Glenn (a different one to the OP!)
