Yes call lots of dealers - I’ve always managed to jump Qs and got new models early. Maybe luck but it can be done. Luckily mine has always been my local one anyway !macman_ wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 8:14 pm So I’m thinking of ordering the Macan GTS. Spoke to the OPC in Cardiff and they say the lead time is 2nd quarter of 2022!!
I see other people are getting much earlier build dates. Should I go somewhere else and does anyone know where I might get the quickest build slot?
Thanks

Dickies explains things really well. There's no way whatsoever that I'm going to blow away my hard-earned cash on a PCP contract. I'm Scottish and tight. The TCO (total cost of ownership) under PCP is horrendous. For a Macan, it's potentially thousands of pounds more per year than other means of finance. I'd avoid PCP at all costs.
Mind the finance company is buying the car 'cash' from the dealer and then shafting you under a finance scheme that the majority of people fail to understand, or don't care to understand. The finance company is making loads of money from you.
PCP schemes make some sense for some people on cheaper cars. I appreciate some people can barely afford a car, so a PCP on a sensible car may be the best option for them. But it's a completely crazy thing to do on a more expensive car.

interested to hear what OPC's people are dealing with that don't have long build slot queues, the wait with mine is crazy
You aren’t wrong. I was due to lock my spec in Thursday, and that was delayed until yesterday.
PASM will not be available to order for quite some time
The queues are spec dependant. Spoke with SE this week he confirmed ( as has been stated several times here) main elements causing delays due to chip shortages are air suspension, 18 way-seats, electric adjust steering ( thought that would also affect 14 way?) and cars delivered with just one electronic and one manual key. Has anyone here had just one key upon handover?jonnydrama wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 5:58 pm interested to hear what OPC's people are dealing with that don't have long build slot queues, the wait with mine is crazy

There is a post on Pistonheads I paste below which implies they are planning to build Gen 3 initial GTS's with air but no PASM rather than postpone builds due to chip shortages which would make me very jumpy if I had an order in for S or GTS.:_OmniCognateSnr wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 3:23 pmThe base 4cyl Macan is the only one that doesn’t have PASM as standard
"Took a call this morning from OPC telling me my new Macan GTS due in Oct would not have the standard PASM and a couple of other standard options. Due to flooding and chip shortage causing manufacturing issues. They advised to push back the order as these may be difficult to resale. Any one else been given this information?"
Or is this a OPC pulling wool over eyes to persuade someone to take a later build slot. I cannot believe Porsche will build any Gen 3 S's or GTS 's without PASM and just Air with no adjustable damping

In a similar vein, we ordered a new SEAT Leon 2.0i FR with PDK and the delivery was delayed by a further 3 months. When it eventually arrived it did not have the "flappy paddles" for the gear change on the steering wheel. This was clearly stated on the sales brochure as being a feature. The dealer did not notice the ommission!
We took delivery, but only on the written condition that it was retrospectively fitted. In the end I had to contact SEAT GB to insit that this was honoured. Two months later the steering wheel was swapped out and the correct one fitted.
