Good result (and out of the Cayenne for “nothing” 👍👍)

For what it’s worth I’ve always felt the Targa us a bit something and nothing; not quite a convertible but not quite a coupe!

You’ll love the GTS 👍👍

What a great result. I'm sure you're going to love the 4GTS coupe. The Targa is an acquired taste aesthetically speaking.

Do let us know your initial impressions once collected and you get some miles under those stealthy wheels.

Sounds like a great result and never been a fan of Targas TBH and especially not in undercoat (sorry Crayon)

Fantastic result and a fantastic car 👍

As always when problems occur it’s how they are resolved that matters.

Enjoy a fantastic car.

To be honest as you were only £8K away on their original offer I thought that would be the fairest outcome for you and from their point of view would hope to keep you on board as a customer.

Good outcome and hope you enjoy the new car.

Effectively I have swapped into a brand new 991.2 Carrera 4 GTS and no money has changed hands. The new car is in my signature.
Was going for a beautiful crayon targa but after driving that and a coupe back to back and having both cars stood next to each other I chose the coupe. Hope I don’t live to regret not being bolder and going for the Targa.

I’ve uploaded some pretty low res snaps. More to follow next week when I hopefully collect her.

Great news! Sounds like (eventually) a very fair outcome to me.

The GTS looks awesome!

The Targa is eye catching and a bit of a boulevard cruiser, but I think that the coupé is the far more sensible choice.

Wishing you happiness and fun in the 911, and looking forward to more pics...! :)

And enjoy the collection! :D

It was a great outcome & I really appreciate the DP stepping in to micromanage the details. When we were £8k apart I thought I was on a hiding to nothing. So I was a little surprised we got here so quickly after my initial disappointment.

Whilst we were there I spotted another Cayenne Turbo sat follornly in the car park and joked what is that in for. The answer was PCM. Should I have been surprised? I was only joking after all.

To all those waiting on, or receiving, new Cayennes the PCM has allegedly been updated. So hopefully you won’t have any of the issues I have encountered.
I’m too far gone to take the risk on another Cayenne, but I’d be happy for you all to prove me wrong. Enjoy!!
