Salesman got back on my GTS order today
Says it's built and sitting at Emden.
Mine just had the normal GTS seats if that's of any significance.
Semiconductor Shortage
I think I hate you
Congratulations!

I'm surprised your dealer(Perth you said) has all of it's Macan's delayed.
No idea why some are and some aren't.
I'm now figuring out how to pay for it lol
Well I got the call to say my Macan has now been delayed to factory build of first week in July...this is the second delay as was initially meant to be end of May, then pushed back to mid June.
The issue is, I don't currently have a car and there'll come a point when I just need to get one...so the question is, what would you recommend are the best options? Hope for the July build date? Expect it to be delayed again? Cancel and look for other marques altogether? (the pre-owned Macan S prices are crazy just now so not going to go down that route...)

Ask your OPC to provide you with a loan car - nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Failing that, ask them if they have a car that you can rent until your Macan is available.
Or failing that, if they have a cheap trade-in car that you can buy and with a guaranteed buy-back price from them.
Failing that buy a cheap banger to keep you going.
You know you want that brand new Porsche Macan

I was in exactly the same boat. Expected May delivery, sold my car privately in April and now the GTS is not due until mid August in the UK.SAC1 wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 11:40 amMacanori wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 11:29 am Well I got the call to say my Macan has now been delayed to factory build of first week in July...this is the second delay as was initially meant to be end of May, then pushed back to mid June.

So I have bought the wife a new Mini Cooper S convertible and I’ll drive the S3 until the GTS arrives. In the meantime i have negotiated a better financial package with the dealer and they are taking the S3 as part ex for a guaranteed amount. All worked out in the end.
Also, I agree if it turns up in August I will wait until September 1st to pick up

I agree with SAC1 - ask the dealer/Porsche uk for a car
I’m sure there used to be something in the contract to say they need to keep you mobile if the car turns up beyond stated delivery date - this was why 9/10 the cars always turned up earlier , surprise surprise!
When my wife ordered her 981 I sold her previous car quicker than I thought and they put us in a 991 cab whilst we waited and that wasn’t even their fault!
Times are probably different now As I think they always have a shortage of cars now

I tried this and they told me that if they had anything they would loan it to me, but all dealers are low on stock at the minute.
