I submitted a £1000 deposit about 4 weeks ago with my OPC, but I bet you I am still not number one on the list?

Excuse me for being a bit thick but why on earth would or should you even have had to part with a £1000.00 deposit on a car that in official Porsche speak probably doesn't even exist! Surely a letter of intent from you and a confirmation by your OPC would have been good enough for now.
One concern would be what happens to the £1000.00 should the OPC go out of business before delivering.

I agree.
This USED to be the way things were done, but I understood that last year the policy changed - and a Letter of Intent was the way to get your name on the "waiting list" now. Certainly that is what my OPC wanted when I said I wanted to put a deposit on the next model Boxster.
Which OPC was this?
My personal opinion is that Porsche will have a much tougher fight on their hands from other makes over the next couple of years. They've had it very easy for the last seven years. The Boxster is still the best roadster on the market at present but I think that will change soon. Just my opinion of course! And controversial to boot! Unless the new models are significantly improved...

Is this normal procedure or perhaps "an administrative glich"?

i feel im getting two cars for the price of one.. and boy does the boxster look good with the hard top on. un-like the MGf my neighbour owns
The hood on the Boxster is so good (now even better with glass back window) I can't see the reason for the hardtop unless you don't have a garage or want a bit more security from thieving low lives.

does the glass window come with heated glass?
If you know someone with a newer model car then try to go for a ride and see if you can hear the difference in soundproofing. I think it makes a big difference. I would be interested to hear comments from other members.

i haven't driven a new boxster (with glass window) yet is the insulation and noise level also improved.? does the glass window come with heated glass?
Helen when you next visit your OPC or collect your fab GT3 test drive the demonstrator or better still get them to loan you it for a few days.
Insulation is much much better, noise levels excellent and of course it's heated.
All in all IMO it makes the Hard Top a bit redundant but I am a topless freak[8D]
