Good evening everyone, long time lurker here, first time Porsche owner, coming across from Audi. We've paid our deposit with OPC Mid-Sussex and await the delivery of our Gentian Blue GTS, was offered November delivery when we paid our deposit but are waiting till March 2022, as we've not long put brakes and tyres on the Q5, we're not in a rush to swap it plus we'll have the new reg 😀.
Originally spec'd a Gen 2 GTS (Moon light Blue), but I'm much happier with Gentian Gen 3 as its one of my favourite Porsche colours.

Looking forward to joining this great community, keep up the good work everyone

welcome, I’m also new to all things Porsche and placed my order at Mid Sussex in July for an S. Hopefully should be getting it mid Nov ( current build date is 31st Oct ). Had a number of Audi’s too. Got to ask, why the jump from Nov to March? was it just because you wanted to wait or did the delivery get get back ?

We decided to wait, Q5 PCP is up in May 2022 plus having spent £'s on it not in too much of a rush to move it on. Nothing to do with the OPC just our personal preference

I'd be wanting any SUV pretty much as soon as before any more draconian DVLA taxes come in.
With the climate conference coming up I'd expect bad news.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

There's quite a time between now and lockdown. Are you prepared to post your Porsche Code and let the rest of us persuade you to spend more money? :lol: :lol:

Thanks Hood that's not something that I had even considered, fingers crossed they don't shaft us too hard

Thanks Peter, code is in my signature! You can try, the wife's an accountant so wish me luck :lol: I'm sure there will be a few extras, as you say there's quite a bit of time before lockdown
