Got my Build Date Today - Will it be the 2009?
I finally got the call that my dealer has my 997TT build date of 7-1-08. I am so excited I can hardly stand the thought of the long wait. I have my option list nearly put together, but it just occurred to me that perhaps with a July 1 build date, could it be a 2009 car? Does anyone know? I'll post my build order after I meet with Atomic and Hmmm later this week. :D

No, it'll be an 08. Generally the new model year begins after the factory shutdown during August.

Mine was built July 23rd, took to more months to complete and ship.....

My Turbo was a JUNE build. It came to Tampa, FL in late JULY....Wait was horrible!! LOL Every time I saw a PORSCHE I was like WTF man im getting jealous. But once you see it your going to be drooling.
And I got the shakes the 1st week i drove it. I couldn't believe it was possible to make a car that fast!! 40-60mph(1sec.) is like a missle.!!!! |

It will be a 08.

I don't think dealers have 2009 allocations yet, so it will be a 2008.

Look at the bright side. Take the money you'll be spending on the car and invest it short term. The interest may let you buy more options. Whee! It's gonna be fun. The wait will be like getting a waterboarding at Gitmo.hilarious |
I was looking for a 07 build at the time , dealer had a early 08 build date so I took it , Carrear Motors in Bend Oregon offered me a 08 for the 07 price...
The two things I forgot to order was the Defroster trim in leather with Dev stitch and the Dome Int light in leather with dev, I did have the dealer order me the dome light trim in leather with dev stitch.... My first choice would be Cocoa brown with white Stitch , Followed by the Sea Blue that I have... Get the 09 Iam going with a 2010 next.... |
July build? Holy crap!! I'd look elsewhere and get it sooner.

No it'll be a 2008. A build date is a little misleading. Once all the parts of the car are available it only takes about a week to assemble it. When your order is firm, Porsche will set about getting all the special parts for the car started. Leadtimes for some parts may be several months, so with a build date of July actual production might start in March or April for some items like upholstery options.

My 2008 997tt was completed on 7/2/07, and I knew I had a 2008 allocation as of May 2007 when the order was accepted. An allocation this early probably means 2008. You should have lots of time to select, change, re-change, and then change again before locking in. Good luck with the wait...
