so ridiculous. I assume there has to be new colors for the rest of the 992.1 run, right? You can't build 911s for all of 2024 with the 10 colors (mostly in shades of white/black/silver) currently available?

Agreed, dumb. Who knows… PAG is certainly creating a mess.

Hell, from what I am reading on Rennlist quite a few individuals are now having trouble even getting their cars due to issues with US customs at multiple ports.

2 second summary: bubble is over and he thinks because financing is so expensive, now the cars are sitting because they’re suddenly a lot more expensive. Lots of upside down Turbo S owners. GT3 owners have to accept losing money too.

I think things are a little worse in the UK than they are here but its logical that high interest rates will affect the whole car market -- even high end Porsches.

Ha- I would’ve assumed the south Florida real estate market would’ve slowed down as well. I don’t know much about it but my impression is that it seems very “boom and bust”
