Boxster Order Process


(Page last modified January 2, 1999) Visit Walt's other Boxster pages.

The following table shows the progress of a few orders through the system.The time for any one stage can vary depending on a lot of factors, many of which change over time, so remember, YMMV2.  If you have a complete chronology for your car and want to volunteer it, email us.

I need help!  (No wisecracks please.)  If you've kept a record of your car's progress, preferably all the way through to delivery (or remember where someone else's record is posted), with enough dates to be useful, please email me.

Notes:

[1] - Jumped into a vacated slot.
[2] - Your Mileage May Vary.
[3] - Yes, it looks funny but that's what the dealer said.
[4] - Order was placed 12/12/97, then changed 1/28/98
[5] - Yes, it looks like the boat only took a week to cross, but that's what the printout said.
[6] - This was a re-specification of a dealer-spec car.  Production was delayed by both the crankcase problem and the August factory shutdown.
[7] - This car is a 996, not a Boxster..
