The configurator I am referring to is on the dealer's private access website. The configurator that you and I can access from the Porsche website still doesn't have it. Interestingly, the link my dealer provided to me for the configuration he saved for me is accessible via the URL he sent me, and while it has the correct total dollar figure for my configuration, it doesn't list the front axle lift or its individual cost.

That's good news; at least a positive indicator. Thanks for posting it.

No problem, Mike! Thanks for all of your posts as well, especially in spite of some of the more "interesting" views of those who for various reasons think it won't be their cup of tea despite having yet to ever taste the tea.

John, may I ask on how much the "lift option" is? Tx, Horst.

Actually, I just checked, and it was exactly $3490 on my 2010 GT3.

Looks like Nav is not really free. You have to get Sound plus which costs ($700) to get nav.

Old PAG/PCNA trick. In the Boxster Spyder, a radio was a no cost option! But you had to pay $700 for the speakers as a mandatory requirement if you elected to get your n/c radio! And if chose NOT to get your 'free radio' (or the alternatively super costly PCM w. Nav), you couldn't get 'Sport Chrono' either (which wasn't free but desirable to many of us)! The functions for 'SC" are programmed via the radio screen! So there were TWO options that required you to ante the $700 for the 'Sounds Plus', which is the LEAST effective speaker & lowest wattage amplifier system found in a modern Porsche in years! It is PAG's version of Catch-22!

Eduardo

Anyone know what is the difference between -

68 Leather interior in Black, deviating stitching in Guards Red $3,320
and
749 Leather interior package with decorative Red stitching $1,490?
About $1830

Thanks Eduardo for that tidbit. I wonder how that conversation at PAG/PCNA went - "oh we will make the radio free, but make them pay for the speakers, suckers!". lol
