I've always thought of doing it, but if you check the Porsche web site, they charge a hefty fee for doing it... unlike BMW who actually gives you a hefty credit on the car purchase.

That would certainly take some of the fun out of taking european delivery for me

European Delivery is $1,150 for the Boxster.

You still need to be careful with the car and respect the break-in period on the Autobahn!

Yes you must observe the break in!

Better make it an S for the Euro delivery. At 4200 RPM in 6th you will be doing about 105 mph.

Don't ask me how I know.

Yes, that is what sucks about buying a new car, especially when you want to enjoy it like with European Delivery!

A poster on another board just did an excellent write-up on his experience.
