That 4S will eat anything you throw at it, great job on picking an all-purpose, all weather ride.

If you are a really really really good mom, you will spend $$$$$ to insure him to drive it when he is ready.




































Or just drive him to school in it.

Congrats.

This concerns me a little bit. What panels are involved? You might want to consult a very high quality professional detailer in your area to look at the car first. I for one, would not want to turn my new car over to any dealership's car-wash-crew with a buffer and a bottle of compound.

Congrats on the great car.

One quick request, Explorer7, it looks like you have PDLS Plus. When you get a moment, would you mind taking a shot of the daytime running lights on those things? Thanks.

Ok my friend,.. here the things I noticed after I picked it up later in my garage marveling on my beautiful car. Some are harder to capture in pictures, but I am very detail oriented, I noticed this and more immediately after I parked the car in the garage.


1st:
On Top when I ran my fingers over it, it was a little rougher, and when you looked at the right angle in the light, this area had some sort of rubs or something on it. I imagine its from when the car was shipped over, I noticed a line too over the dark part between the glass roof and back window glass (tape residue stripe)









2nd.
On both back windows, where I have the aluminum trim, there is this break and it doesn't look as clean as I would hope.. (but maybe I am just to nit picky) How does your car look?









3rd:
Some markings.. I am sure they can buffer this out.. still, since I am mentioning what I noticed.. this was another thing. (location engine door)





4th:
This one the dealership noticed and wrote me about a few hours after I was notified the car was ready. Looks like the Aluminum was bent and or lifted? (location top of window/door)





What do you think? Normal (the break on the aluminum panel? and those blemishes, no big deal? I took detailed pictures just to capture it all. This car didn't have the best start.. but I think it had everything to do with the dealership, where not one thing went without a hitch I am at a point, where I just want them to fix this and drive off into the sunset.

Great option list

Since my last Porsche was a Cayenne TTS I don't know how the fit and finish on the new 991's

But I would have the trim pieces looked at for piece of mind

I am in the car biz and would not have a problem having a customer be concerned with that and the paint blemishes

remember the warranty covers it and the dealer gets paid if those trim pieces need to be replaced

Another dealer could address that as well

Don't settle if your not happy

You have a beautiful car that is for sure
