Default ADD strikes again- swapped my 14 PTTS for a 15 991 TTS

The Panamera was a terrific car and with the options added, Mansory Hood, HRE P 40 SC's, Escort 9500 CI, full wrap, tints etc it really stood out. The problem is outside of my Riv Blue RS I can't ever seem to be satisfied. Purchased from Bill at Byers (terrific guy and my 3rd P car from Bill since last year) a Deep Metallic Blue 15 TTS. Added full wrap and some Sottozero's to take on the slipper streets when needed (although I live 1 mile from work and travel 120 days a year so little winter driving expected.

I sure feel sorry for you, having had to suffer through 3 Porsches in a year.

This one should make you happy!

What kind of depreciation hits are you taking in a year??

I'm thinking of trading by TTS cab in for a GT3 but the $30k drop in 6 months seems crazy. I'm almost just thinking about having both so I don't have to see my trade in value!

The GT3 will likely retain 95% of the MSRP so you really have no worries on the future depreciation issues. The TTS should make a great daily and your new GT3 a great weekend toy

Turbos depreciate like crazy. Just keep it. I'm keeping mine and getting a GT3 +/- RS.

Cherryblock, how much are they asking for the orange 4.0 beside your car?

Got my Boxster Spyder from Bill at Byers too - good dealer to deal with. Great looking TTS.

Very happy- full transparency- was concerned the Yachting blue interior was too "powdery", it looks terrific in person! More photos to come....

Nice ride. I'm getting a TTS this week and getting rid of my pani as well. I have a 458 as a weekend toy and considered a Gt3 but wanted more of a DD. I hear some folks say the TTS is too vanilla but hope that's not the case as I had very limited drive time in it.

Its very compliant and out of sport mode is quiet. In sport mode a ROCKET. I was looking for a DD that I could cruise comfortably in and when the mood struck…. well you know. The TTS I think will be a perfect compliment to your 458. Only had it for a week but very happy- whats your build specs?


Quick Reply: ADD strikes again- swapped my 14 PTTS for a 15 991 TTS
