New Car Lead times

[Skyway]

Try newer dealers that haven't been open for as long. Their customer lists are shorter, meaning a shorter wait.

Is there such a thing as a new Porsche dealer at present?

I paid a deposit two weeks-ish ago, was quoted Q4 2022 for a GTS. Lets hope it's accurate! But at least I'm in the queue. West London OPC.

Yes

Preston Porsche are new, they have only been open about 20 months on a brand new build.

They are part of the local Bowker Group who are also BMW and Mini.

Great service from them years ago.

Not exactly new but Parker and Parker of South Lakes moved from Kendal to a custom build on the outskirts of Carnforth, you can see them right next to the M6 junction so there is cash around to invest in the marque.

You would hope it’s accurate as they are one of the 5 OPCs owned by Porsche Retail GB.

I've put a deposit down today on an S (PNIX29H8) at Stockport OPC. Another newish dealer, opened August 2020, owned by Stratstone along with half a dozen others. First contacted them by phone last Friday and immediately warmed to the Sales Manager who took the call. So refreshing to NOT get the impression HE was doing ME a favour! I was persuaded to visit by the news that my order, if placed, would be No.4 in the queue for an S, still with nothing promised before September. Although just one extra S will have a greater impact on dates than if I'd joined the list at Chester who have 63 customers in line and quoted June/July 2023 for an S!
Today we spent 2.5 hours in Stockport with their, just promoted, Business Manager (stepped in for our designated SE who sadly phoned in sick this morning) and explored my options both definite and undecided using the Configurator as well as umpteen vehicles inside and outside the showroom. That put paid to my Aggate grey idea and management's Pebble leaning! We won't be hassling them with Omni voluminous changes, although a Sport button on the steering wheel has some attraction! The Sales Manager joined us for the second half of a BS free candid discussion on some options, together with those delivery prospects. I had considered the PSCB and would have happily invested in them if there was potential to recoup that by virtue of their longevity avoiding a couple of steel disc replacements but he quickly dispelled that one! Good for performance with a much quicker and firmer grab but thats all.
We also talked about why we were there and not "nearer home" which has led me to expect a much happier purchase experience. Seems they get quite a few customers from the "east" not so many from the west but then the drive across the Pennines is far nicer than Manchester and the motorways on t'other side.

I spoke to Chester and Stockport on Friday and both quoted me Q4 2022 for an S.Stockport were very friendly though.
