Thx guys, I will let you know. It may have already been sold. They go fast! I agree regarding LWB's. I have a pair that came in my 2011 Spyder. Best Seats EVER!

This is right at the current market +/- 2k for LWB's. Miles look good, if you like the color and options, go for it! Please have a PPI done.

I test fit the current LWBS back to back with the 987/997 LWBS the last night before my GT4 order locked, and love the old ones now just like I did when they were new (though they sit a bit high). But the new ones don't hold my upper torso as well as the older ones did–so I skipped LWBS. YMMV.

On another note, was at Fremont Porsche today and they had a black GT4—I think with LWBS. Just a heads up...

The OP decided to pass on this car and so have I. Its a great build but one of my require options is dual zone climate control. With the Mrs. usually with me on weekend drives, she usually has her side of the car much warmer than my side. In our Q5 she is usually running at 80 with me around 70. The weekend I borrowed Mooty's car that didn't have the dual zone climate, it was something we argued about a few times as I was either too hot or she was too cold. Also with the buckets not having heating elements, its not worth the arguments that I can foresee.

If anybody is interested, I had the car negotiated at $96k with Downtown LA Porsche. It also has a full clear bra on the car too.

FWIW the engine gets better with a bit of mileage. Mines just over 10k kms and it feels better than ever.

Now if the car for sale only had your exact options (black satin wheels, dual zone climate, red deviated stitching, leather dash) That's a beautiful GT4 you have

How many in the db that meet your criteria?

Dual climate control - glad it's an option as I prefer manual control. I do wonder how dual zone actuall performs in such a small space/cockpit.

Have you driven a Cayman with climate control? Set it and leave it. You won't need to fiddle with the air temp and fan speed all the time. From what I've seen, cars with MSRP's over $100k have dual zone

I have not. But our two DDs (BMWs) have it and I prefer to use manual mode.

There is at least one entire thread on this topic - single/dual preferences are not to the LWB level but not far behind...

Dual climate control is an...interesting thing to have on a must list IMO. I prefer the manual adjustment and don't see how you'd really need dual zone in such a small space. Besides, I'm windows down 99% of the time I'm in the car anyway.

Beautiful shots of your Agate white2abbit!

If I was shopping for a GT4 last summer I would probably not have dual zone on my must have list but with the market right now, why not. There are plenty of cars out there to be had.

My Agate surpassed the $100k MSRP ceiling, I didn't spec dual zone climate, and I'm not one to drive windows down on the street. I can tell you that the climate "limitation" was not the factor in becoming a windows down driver.
