What is the Porsche vehicle ordering and payment process?

You can personally visit a 4S dealership for a test drive, which allows you to most intuitively understand the vehicle's performance and driving experience. You can also make your selection on the official Porsche website, where periodic promotions are held online. The main factor is the contractually agreed timeframe. Typically, the sales representative will provide an estimated duration. Normally, after paying the deposit, the vehicle's production and transportation time is generally 20-25 days.
Last week, I accompanied my cousin to order a Cayenne at the Porsche Center in Shanghai, and the process was actually quite straightforward. Upon entering the dealership, you first select the configuration sheet. After choosing key options like paint color and wheels, the salesperson will lock the order, requiring a deposit ranging from 80,000 to 200,000 RMB, payable via Alipay or credit card. The full payment must be settled at least one week before pickup, though in-demand models like the Turbo S may require earlier payment. My cousin opted for a financing plan and paid the down payment after approval. The remaining balance can be paid via debit card or cashier's check on the delivery day. Remember to obtain the customization details sheet and keep all payment receipts. The Porsche official app also allows tracking of production progress—once the production is scheduled and locked, the deposit becomes non-refundable.
