A Question of Timing
have an April build slot for a 997S with delivery in probably early June. Perfect! Except someone pointed out that I was at that point only a couple of months from the factory shutdown, possible upgrades and an 06 model year designation.
Sooo...
Should I stick with Plan A above and get my April build?
Or go for Plan B and wait for an August September build and run an old Boxster for the summer?

Prices of Porsches in the US are being kept artificially low despite the current US Dollar/Euro parity. My local dealer is selling & shipping Cayennes back to Norway because of this discrepency. There is no guaranty that current Porsche prices will remain at this level going forward into the MY06, even though Porsche claims to hold currency hedges to carry them through 2008. What you may gain on resale value on an 06 compared to an 05 you may lose on a possible up front price increase of an 06 compared to an 05.

Plus, people aren't really happy about the new 997c2s prices. If the car was 10k less about 70k, people would have been all over it.
How is your dealer shipping car back to Norway? which shipper are they using? i would like to bring a 69 MB 250se convertible from Germany.
My 2 cents.
