Took delivery 5/31/08

So total days from my ordering the car to delivery: 114

But, I think there are a lot of variables that may make your experience different

1) My dealer's allotment and other customers orders meant that my car order wasn't really placed in the system until sometime in early March

2) Sometime shortly before my build date there was a major fire in the German Porsche plant. While my car was assembled in Finland, the engine comes from Germany. I don't know if this caused any delay

3) While the car was on the Atlantic, there was a major storm that forced them to seek refuge in an Eastern Canadian port for a few days

4) The car hit the dock on the Friday before memorial day.

5) My dealership is less than 100 miles from the port. Once it cleared the port it was a 1 day until it got to the dealership.
