I've got an order in since March this year and I was told to expect a 2 year wait.

Given all that is going on with the country it maybe that orders start to get cancelled bringing our waits forward.

I thought therefore that it may be useful to have a thread to post confirmed allocations against order dates to see if things start to move up - or at least for those of us waiting to feel ok about it.

If nobody agrees then obviously this will die a death.

Boxster GTS ordered April 22. Advised to expect 18 months to two years. Still on waiting list with fingers crossed.

BGTS ordered in August 2021; no allocation or any firm steer as to when I will get one. Hanging on in there.

Agreed, and that is what I've always assumed.

Nobody's gonna sit on their hands driving a random stbox whilst their new toy takes 18 months to get delivered... Surely?

To show how things have changed - I ordered my CGTS 4.0 back at the start of Feb 2020 and it was delivered July 2020. That included a delay the whole of the first lockdown from basically March to June but was pre all the global component shortages.

Seems a pretty consistent wait for a Boxster of something around 2 years with Cayman being possibly a lot less. I will hang on as I intend it to be my last convertible/sports and a keeper while everything goes electric.

My only fear is that they never get build as time goes on and on and new model plans come to fruition. I suppose there's every possibility that at some stage the new Boxster electric gets announced and that's the end of that no more allocations while production is shifted. I can't see that they would delay a new model and all the planning that goes with it just to fill what orders are left.

I'll be interested to see if the wait times start to fall in the coming months as orders get cancelled. The market does seem to have started to turn on the nearly new cars.

I ordered a BGTS in Oct 20 was told Delivery would be Mar 21 that turned into June 21, will admit my teeth were starting to itch at that point so I have sympathy for people stuck in a much worse situation, i wouldnt even bother trying now I dont think you will get one

Wow didn’t realise it was still possible to get an allocation for a gt4.

Walk in off the street or well connected / good history?

Boxster GTS ordered Sep 22. A guesstimate of 18 months to delivery. Until then I have an Evora Sport 410 for entertainment
