Buying a 2015 GTS - What accessories, toolkits ..etc should come with the car?
I might be buying a GTS 2015/2016 in a few days. What should I expect from the dealer with the car - I am looking at private party, CPO and 3rd party dealer. Since this is my first Porsche, I don't know all the trinkets that should come with the car.
Definitely 2 keys as replacements are EXPENSIVE, manuals, took kit ( which is just some cheap miscellaneous stuff ), tow hook is pretty importan, compressor.
Included with the manual is the service booklet - if the car was dealer serviced it should be stamped.
Here’s a pic of the items mentioned you Marine Blue. Check to see if the tire sealant hasn’t expired, IIRC it’s good for 2 years.
Good luck in your pending purchase chase and make sure all of the annual services are up to date - ask for service records.
Some other things to consider asking for and making sure you get:
1. If not provided, I would ask for the completed and signed CPO checklist (see attached).
2. I always ask the dealer for a discount at the time of the car's purchase on the following accessories (which are items you might eventually want or are simply nice to have), because you're never in a stronger position to negotiate a great discount on parts than at the time when you're actually buying the car:
Porsche battery charger - $126
Porsche Indoor cover - $314
Porsche Keychain - $25
Porsche Touch-up paint - $26
Clear side markers - should be thrown in free by dealer (be sure you get your amber ones back)
Porsche UVS windshield sun shade - $60
Porsche Valve stem caps - $16
Porsche License plate frames - $45/each
Extra set of Porsche floor mats - $101
Porsche frunk liner - $209
+ Whatever other accessories you think you'd like to have!
Prices above were approx. MSRP when I bought my car in 2016 and I got a decent discount simply by asking at the time of purchasing the vehicle. This is about $800 worth of stuff at list price and I saved several hundred. YMMV.
3. By all means, ask for and get the original window sticker if available.
4. Have the dealer pay for, and order for you, a Porsche Production Specification certificate (formerly Certificate of Authenticity):
See attached order form. It's nice to have for your car and serves as a worthy piece of documentation on your vehicle. Don't spend the $110. Most dealers will pay for it if you're buying a car from them.
5. Get the dealer to track down a hardcopy brochure for you. If it's a 2015/16 model, they should be able to put their hands on one. Always good to have the original brochure as a part of your car's documentation.
6. Have the dealer check on recalls and service bulletins to make sure there aren't any new/last minute outstanding campaigns.
7. Below is an admittedly poor pic of all the booklets, manuals, inserts, etc., that came with my 2016 car so yours should have most/all of these (allowing for differences, of course, in the model):
Owner's manual
Maintenance booklet
Quick Start Guide
Roadside Assistance
Pirelli Tire Warranty (if so equipped)
Emissions Parts Warranty
Etc., et al.
Good luck!
