I personally love the look and feel of the Alcantara. I know it’s a personal preference and while it maybe a cheaper material, almost all race inspired cars have them, from the low all the way to one of a kind Bugatti’s.
I have ave a customer that always buys the most expensive meal when we take him out, only because it’s free. I’d always get what I like most, regardless of its price and what you get for that price.
i really wanted vent seats but is pick Alcantara vs vented any day. Again, personal preference for the look and feel.

I’ll decide I’ll take the PP+ with the mirror/heated seats/keyless and lights design.
the other thing the dealer is telling me is that no one takes the basic sound system, he says I have to get the Bose at minimum. that is after I decided I’m going to skip that since I’m not big in to music and I’d rather listed to the MT play tune to the engine.
Is it really a must for resale as he says?

I've also sold a number of different sports cars in private sales, and have never had anyone ask me if it had Bose. I've also never heard a dealer taking a trade mention it either, and they are not bashful about telling you why they can't offer you more.

Since this (above_ almost sounds verbatim like Nick Murray's critique let me classify something . The alcantara used in a cheap car like a Lancer is not the same quality as waht Porsche uses and more than the leather in a Honda Civic is the same as an Aston Martin . That said the leather/alcantara package is predominately leather where the alcatara is placed in functional locations like the seat centers (for grip) . The side bolsters , dash, steering are leather . Nick himself chose sport tex centers which are great for grip too but much hotter in the Florida humidity of summer . I've tried all of them . I even like all of them . I get it .. Nick and a few others dont like but it does have its place, function, and appeal to those who do.

i also saw Nick’s video and was kind of shocked. I was thinking the same thing, while it may be the same name I’m sure the quality can’t be the same. My sister has it in her ford and it doesn’t look or feel the same way as it does on the Porsche.
I even showed the Nick’s video to the GM at my dealer and he showed me a website that showes the diff types. Porsche used the same type as highest end cars.
Again, it is a preference but I personally dislike leather look and feel, so it was a no brained for me.

The standard system sounds like a small pocket radio from the 1970's . I am not a huge music fanatic but it's a 150K car and it has to be adequate . Besides Bose comes with satellite which offers sports , news , weather, and other amenties as a choice . It's really pennies to buy the Bose .
