UK build dates

I am in the exact same position. Ordered in Jan via Tusker. The dealer is still estimating October but I am not hopeful. I am temtped to change to the Coupe S as I know the dealer has a free September slot available at the moment, and I am starting to lean more towards the Coupe.

I was considering swapping out too, my nervousness is whether that then sets me back further. I do wonder whether the Porsche dealers are giving build slots to direct clients and important people with the lease companies just being bumped down the queue and getting leftovers. They can’t even give an indication when a build slot will be allocated let alone a delivery!

Is your lease cost locked in ? I ask as there may be a price increase after Aug - the new model year. Dealers may be treating their clients as a priority.

In their terms and conditions they do reserve the right to requote if the price changes, not sure whether they actually will

The price increases are between 3-5% so it is usually nothing anyone would like to cover if it does.

The UK standard Porsche conditions allow you to cancel if there is a price increase so if you cancel the lease company will then.

Some years ago I leased a new Merc model and the delivery went back and back. I found the dealer they were sourcing the car from and they offered earlier delivery. They said they were looking after their clients who would get the car serviced with them.

I’m also in a similar position. Ordered through Tusker in Feb for a Turbo when they were advising 24week lead times and my current estimate is late Dec 2026 but still on hold awaiting build slot.
to cancel the order with Tusker there is a £5k +VAT charge. Not sure if that will be waived if the price increases for the new model year as has been suggested.
