Its easy to take so much of what Porsche provides for granted, and forget that even a basic no options base 991 is an amazing, comfy, plush world-class ride. Thanks for the reminder.

Haha you're absolutely right. Actually I knew it, but I'm quite greedy

My current daily is a Lexus LS460 and the 991 base cab interior felt just as nice imo. Which is amazing to me for a high end sports car!!

Interior option on a CAB, always nice to have heated seats for the winter and ventilated seats for the summer. I really enjoy the ventilated seats on my coupe.

Lol - those ventilated seats just spoil you., I'll never get another car without them!

Otherwise... The interior is really just great overall (heated seats, leather package), love the PDLS on windy roads at night, am willing to overlook the fact that the PCM insists on showing the wrong album covers for my tunes (!? - it mostly shows albums that I played days ago),... But I have to say, the standard speakers are pretty terrible and disappointing considering how good the rest of it is.

I still wouldn't spring for the Burmester - I'd rather put that money into my home setup at that point - but the default speakers just are really tinny and lack bass as well. You can play around with the settings, it really doesn't help. So if you're going to be on long trips or many hours in commuting and are planning on listening to music, you may want to option up there... Or plan on listening to the engine more.

Hey!

That's what I said in post #12!

You will be totally happy with just an S Cab with PDK!

Go ahead an spluge on the PSE if you want.

I drive my car in Sport with the PSE on about 80% of the time!

MarcusG

I got lucky and got a late 13 build (May) off the lot and saved some dough.

I wanted to keep my out the door price under $110.

The three most important items to me on my C2S were:

PDK
Sport Chrono
PSE.

I would have been totally happy with the 20" Carrera S wheel but this car had the 20 inch Carrera Classic wheel.
smoking package... ok it has a cigarette lighter at the bottom of the console. It was free.
Park Assist frnt and rear. didn't need it but ok.
Sunroof in glass. Didn't need to be glass. You're getting a Cab so that doesn't matter.
Sport design steering wheel. Do like the paddles there
Bi-Xenon headlights on Black incl. PDLS

So if you shop around I bet you can find a low optioned S Cab with what you want and save close to $7-10K.

How does dealing witth an out of state dealer work? Do I need to physically fly out there or what are the logistics of getting the car to my house? ?

Augustomf

You got one of the nicest wheels congrats. How's the glass sunroof any hoter inside than the standard one?

MarcusG

Other than not paying sales tax up front if you buy it in the right state there isn't any difference than buying where you live.

If you do your homework I guarantee you will find a low optioned S Cab 2013 just the way you want and save some money. They are out there. You need to hop on different dealer websites.

The salesmen call cars with lots of options "heavy" here in California. Go find a "light" one!

MarcusG

Thanks!
With the sun shade closed I can't really tell the difference between a glass sunroof and one that's not glass. I spent a good amount of time over the last few months at different dealers sitting in and driving different cars on So. Cal. 100 degree days in the afternoon.
There is a 4S in black at the dealer I picked mine up from with no sunroof and I really liked it. The car just looks like it means business. It has PDK,SC,PSE and carbon with the standard 20" Carrera wheels. I was so tempted. No sunroof and the interior temperature felt the same as in mine.

What about delivery of the vehicle? Will they transport to a local dealer or direct to your home?? I have no interest in driving back from a far away dealership.

MarcusG

A dependable transportation co. will charge around $1,000 cross country. Some are even more competitive. Over the last decade I've bought cars as far away from New York and had them delivered to my door without incident. I don't know if a dealer would deliver you a car for free even if you just purchased it from them but you never know.

I went through the same dilemma with my 3.4, really wanted a jeckyl and hyde car. I went with SC and PDK for the performance side and threw in luxuries like the multi-purpose steering wheel for the heated wheel option. It's a little more luxurious and really glad i have it in the winter.
