Well about two months ago I decided to take the plunge and order my first Porsche, a GT3 RS. There were a few on the lots around the country but I wanted to take advantage of how Porsche let's you completely customize it the way you want...and once done you get a built date.

Well about a month or so ago I got a"denied" on my 'paint to match' choice as they said it was reserved for another model...Okay, I get it so within minutes I gave them the other option , the grey/black. All was good, the built date was still set at Oct 6. Now fast forward...On Oct 12 I get a message that they decided to just bump my built date back and hopefully it will be another month or so?

Why is this annoying, because I could have been driving it for a month or so prior to winter, now I can sit and look at it all winter. If I had known, I would have just bought it off the lot. Nice way to make an impression to a first time Porsche buyer....

 

Save yourself the headache and pick up this bad boy and save some $$ https://teamspeed.com/forums/automob...he-gt3-rs.html

 

BTW what paint was it exactly, I bet then that's for the upcoming GT3RS Ltd Edition!

 

It was the light non metallic grey on the new Classic...
They already have my deposit ( a traded in GTR) so I am stuck unless they don't get it to me by Dec 31st

I know that if I had a customer in my company who we refused a custom color then after it was expected to be delivered told them that sorry, we have not even made it yet and but "hopefully" we will make it in a month from now....Heads would roll and it would never happen again

 

Hey... PCNA is only 7 miles from mi casa...

For a beer, I'll go kick in the front door and start bending limbs.

Sorry to hear this! I have to say, I can't blame you for being livid.

 

And don't think for a second he wouldn't do it.

 

Porsche has so many 911 models they were confused which one you wanted...

 

By 'reserved for another model' they probably meant the Sport Grey was unique to the Sport Classic, and that's why they rejected it. Sorry to hear this, good luck!

 

PAG does not accept Sport Classic Grey as PTS option. i tried. i've exchanged quite few emails directly with the Exclusive Dept & was amazed considering how much money Porsche is charging for the custom paint, the exclusive options etc., i don't think they're up to the ''service.'' PAG basically blames PCNA, since there are options that we can't get from Exclusive here in the states but available in ROW.

i have tried to submit many colors to PAG but most of them got rejected. btw, their policy is PAG has up to 6 months to test the paint if they can paint it for perfect match & meet the warranty standard. the waiting, in today's standard simply kills the deal for me. i had to pick an existing PTS color to speed up the process.

if they delay the production u can't do anything about it unless u're just walk away from the order/car. to be honest, there are quite few Grey Blacks out there right now can be had for decent deal. if i were u i'd just find one on the ground now.

 

Way too many on the floors to be waiting on an order. Unless you like to pay more. I seem to have the same hobby.
