Default My New to me Ride....

I want to to first thank the Forums for helping me make my decision. Just as they helped me find the right Cayenne S 2 years ago they have now helped me get into the car I have dreamed about since I was 14 YO! Thank you All!

This is my new to me 2016 Turbo Cab. It is 11 months old with only 1,975 miles on it but since I took it home 10 days ago I have added almost a 1,500 miles more. Yes, this will not be "garage queen". I plan on taking it all over the US and make it my DD including some track days From April to November (I live in the Northeast). Though I will have it in Florida for a few months during the Winter.

The car came with 3+ years of original warranty with an added CPO giving me coverage until 8/22!

I also have to put a shout out to Porsche of Nashua, NH and my go to Sales Guy Jim Horgos who made it all possible seeing that the car was located in Texas and the dealer was not a Porsche dealer.

The following pics are showroom with one just after delivery. I will add other pics with the car on the road when I have the time to stop driving it.

Beautiful car & looks great....congratulations.

Red dials w/carbon fibre are a nice option.

Congrats! That is a killer spec and that mileage is low--wonder if the prior owner even drove it past the break-in period.

I picked up my 2014 TTS cab (under 10k miles) back in April and have put on 8k miles of hard driving since...no point worrying about depreciation with a CPO car especially since the 992 is around the corner!

Wow it's gorgeous. I love the guards red dials! Makes me want to smash the accelerator.

So what are your first impressions?

Thank you for the reply.

"First Impressions"

How about seeing that I have owned the car for a total of 12 Days and I already managed to put as of today 1,760 miles on it. I would say my "impressions are" that this car is Impressive!!!!!!!! 99% of those miles with the roof down.

Oh and yes I have smashed the accelerator quite a few times...but that first time actually scared me a bit but not anymore.
