My 2008 CS was built the first week of July. It is waiting to be put on a boat. That is all I know. I was told previously by one person that it was going to be built the first week of July and I might get it by the end of July. Then I was told by someone else that it will come in sometime in August. I was told repeatedly, prior to these communications, that it normally takes about a month from when it is built to the time that you get it. Time will tell.

Yours will likely be here by the end of this month(was put on the boat yesterday)

 

Not date specific information yet... but order was sent in late June. Been told to expect car by late August - early September.

 

Mine was built on July 3, and was apparently put on the boat today. According to my sales guy, it usually takes about 21 days to get here.

Also, he believes no DFI until at least MY09.

Neat. Mine was finished on July 4th, I believe. Maybe we are on the same boat. If you have nicer options could we switch cars??:

Andre,

When did you place the order? I placed the order back on early May and confirmed the options at the end of May. What is your time line?

Thanks.

 

Pecon,

I placed my order in the first week of April. Your sales guy should be able to give you the production info.

Dooby,

Not sure you'll want my car: red 2.7 with 17-inch wheels. Very basic.

--Andre

 

Andre, great choice! Mine is exactly the same! :banana:

 

I ordered the first of June, just checked last week and they said delivery would be the end of August.

 

I originally ordered my Cayman (White/Cocoa/Tiptronic) in January, but the order wasn't accepted by PCNA until mid-April; for July build. Dealer said would be 1st week, and confirmed car was built July 6th. Have no idea what transit time to Baltimore will be, but expect mid-August (based on history of last year or so) delivery..

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

I put a deposit on my 2006 Cayman S in 2004 when the plans to launch the car were in the press and so I waited two years. I also have my name down for a 2009 Cayman S having returned the 2006 car after eight months use due to it needsing a complete rewire. They say patience is a virtue but worth skipping the 07 and 08 models years in my opinion. But then I must be unduly patient. I hope to get my right hand drive 09 in late 2008 which will be in approximatley 16 months time. Makes me smile when I hear people saying waiting a few weeks is an issue.

 

Mine is scheduled for a sept. build, hopefully I'll get it in October.

 

Corto,Andre

Perhaps "very basic", but a great color choice, and the best value out there for the Cayman family. Perhaps, you two are the wisest of all.

Ordered mine two weeks ago. Expect it sometime in October. I've waited a long time for a car like this, a few more months won't matter much.

 

Heard today that mine went on ship yesterday. I'll try to get name/line, so we can track across the Atlantic.

 

Where do you get the ship information? I ordered my basic Cayman on June 16th and found out today that I have an August 29 build date. What sources to you use to find out when it goes on the boat and is due for Baltimore?

Response

As part of the :dance: Welcoming Committee, :dance: I will plan my time accordingly. Each of you deserve the very best when your new vehicle arrives. With that said, I’ll be there to congratulate each and every one of you on the CaymanClub forum. Enjoy!

 

Dealear is the only source I know for shipping info; I've asked, but no response yet.

 

I've asked my dealer for the name of the ship, too, and he said that they would be able to find that out some time this week.

Prices on your car.

For those of you who actually have your car on a boat, do you know all of the prices? Are 2008 prices actually out yet? For the public? For the dealers?


Doobydarby

 

Are 2008 prices actually out yet? For the public?

Yes they are --- they were posted here a month or two ago. 0% for Cayman, 0.4% for Cayman S. Details here:

I am anxiously waiting to pull the trigger on a 2007 Cayman S, but can't stand the thought that after all my research on the car they put DFI (possibly) or facelift (unlikely) on the MY08. I can barely wait a few days/weeks (even hours) to take one home so waiting until MY09 is out of the question. The second I hear that a delivered MY08 is the same as 07 I will go pick one up. I anxiously await the deliveries.......

 

I ordered mine on the 14th April and I still don't have confirmation of prices, build date or delivery date - it is expected to arrive around the end of October.

So I've waited 3 months so far and have another 3 to go.

 

Last night, I saw a post on Porsche Pete's by Eric of Bumper Plugs that Braunschweig is due at Baltimore on the 27th. Got same info from dealer today.
Eric also had some info on ships to Brunswick, GA, and Houston, TX, and the Cal Highway to San Diego.
