Carmudgeonly Ride: 981S, 340i

I did a few 7-speed 991 drives back in Spring 2016 (just when I was cross shopping the 981S that I still have and 991 & 991S's, both .1). 991.2's were coming out in a few months. Not as good as the 6-speed box but not a deal breaker IMO. I like shifting and I like extra ratios, it's just a mind twist to remember how many gates there are. I'm sure it's fine once you get used to it.

That’s crazy. I woukd think that the price ceiling for a .1 GTS would be the price of a similar condition T since the performance is about the same.

No clue… TYD has not updated in weeks. My SA is off on Saturdays. I do know from my subscription of live ship tracking that the ship arrived in Jacksonville the night of the 4th and departed last night two hours behind schedule.

Here is a much better priced 991.1S Cab... Not sure if there are any catches or if the market is simply coming back to earth:

Ah ok. Well, like you said previously, there's no rush to get a new sports car delivered in the dead of winter. (I think those of us following along at home are more impatient than you!)

Ha! That is because you guys do not have to write the check.

PCNA updated TYD and the internal tracking available to dealers this AM. First update in over a month. Apparently various departments at PCNA were off for the holidays, Dec 23 thru Jan 7. Anyways… it is now confirmed to be at Port Jacksonville as I have known since the 4th since I gave $116 to live track ships for a month. Dealer ETA is not for another 8-11 days depending on which system, TYD or internally via the dealer.

My SA recently texted that the T entered and exited PDI in Jacksonville today. It has been released to the trucking carrier.

Let's hope they keep it out harm's way.
