So after much debate I've just ordered a Cayman 2.7 PDK.I was expecting to have to wait for a factory order but managed to find an almost perfect car at a dealer not too far away.My only compromise has been on the colour of the alloys as I wanted them painted platinum, I may change them at a later date, but I can definitely live with them for now.I also wanted a sports exhaust but I have a agreed a great deal with the OPC to retro fit one when they become available.It has heated black leather, sports design steering wheel,(which was a must for me), front and rear parking, phone and 20" Carrera S alloys.Quite a poverty spec but more or less exactly what I would have specced on a factory order.The car was due to go into the showroom at the weekend so is available immediately, hopefully I will pick it up at the weekend, can't wait!

That was a nice find for you.
I thought sports exhaust was available now?

I agree on the platinum wheels, that is my choice.
My white 2.7 with 20" Carrera S wheels is due to leave factory on Monday and then it is at least another ten days before ready for pick up.
Seems so long since I ordered it

Thanks chaps, sorry for the slightly misleading title, I owned a used Boxster a couple of years ago, but this is my first new Porsche.
PSE available for factory order now, but not as retro fit, salesman thinks it may be a couple of months.

Plus one although we've had it since Xmas - Boxster version of yours, absolute joy to drive, especially when mrs steve isn't in it! Best of luck with it.

Thanks chaps.Confirmed pick up on Sunday morning.I was pleasantly surprised at my insurance of £258.00, that's about 1/3 of what I paid for my Massa, also looking forward to getting more than 14mpg biggrin
