Official 981 on order thread... chime in.

I see people here and there mentioning they have a 981 on order so I thought we’d make a thread so everyone can chime in.

I’m just curious how many actual new Boxsters are on order. (and for those that have received them, you can chime in also)

Me, I’ve got a guards red S on order, completion date on July 18th.

Basalt Black 981S

Hi,
Mine arrived in GA about 2 weeks ago, but it won't be released (according to my FL dealer) until June 30. Being patient. Black on Black on Black with 20" Carerra S wheels paint basalt black.
Thanks for thinking of this site

You said 981 so I'm going to chime in with my CAYMAN order.

Well not an order yet, but I have reserved a spot on the waiting list. When ordering does become a possibility (probably December) I'm #2 on the list. Not sure who's on there before me, but I'll get my slot in the first month of production.

That said, I've heard they'll build the S first and the PDK first so if I opt for a manual, base I'm gonna have to wait a little longer.

Delivery Update

Just heard from the dealer (FL). My 981 which has been sitting at a port in Brunswick, GA for the past 3 weeks may actually be shipped to the dealership on Monday, 6/18. Hoping they will get it and release it to me next weekend, but I will still assume that they will hold it until the official US release date of 6/30.

Good luck, I hope they release it to you but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Next time I’m in the Tampa area, I’d like to check out that color.

Hi everyone. New to this great site. Great to meet you all.

OP has great taste like me

MY order:

Guards Red/Beige Interior/Blacked Out Rims/Painting the Calipers Yellow

PDK
Sport Chrono
PASM
PSE
Sports Wheel Design/Paddle Shifters
Leather Package
Wind Deflector
BOSE
Parking Sensors
Folding Mirrors

Floor Matts

Basically all the essentials to a luxury sports car.

Cheaped out on the expensive navigation option and the Torque Vectoring(wtf is that?).

More PICS of color combo.

This car looks good in any color.

The GT Silver, the LimeGold, the Yellow, Blue, Black, Grey and Brown.

Very very hard choice during the decision making process.
