Sorry if this is a little long but I wanted to share my experience this past weekend.

Drove home my very first Porsche this weekend! After 15 years of Corvettes (C5 and C6), I finally decided to try the Porsche experience!

I picked up a 2012 991 S with 7,200 miles on it with the following options:

Basalt Black Metallic
Platinum Grey interior
PDK
Bose
Premium Package w/ 18 way Sport Seats
Sunroof
Power folding side mirrors
Park assist (front and rear)
PDLS
PDCC w/ PASM Sport
Sport Chrono
Sport Exhaust
20" SportDesign Wheels

It still has two years left on the factory warranty and I had a dealer do a PPI - no issues whatsoever, so I am pretty happy. Actually, I am extremely happy! My first Porsche! I'm not sure I would have gotten all of these options if I was buying new but I am very pleased with all of it so far. I wasn't sure about the wheels at first but they have really grown on me.

I loved my Corvettes but holy cow, the 911 is fantastic! The sound is intoxicating. Simply amazing. I keep finding excuses to drive it...what, we are out of milk? I'M ON IT!









I have learned a ton from lurking on this forum and I hope to continue to learn from you all!

 

Looks great-congratulations! Please post some interior pics when you have a chance. ...and don't forget to get some clear side markers from your dealer

 

Thanks! I ordered the clear LED side markers today. From the video, they didn't look too hard to install - at least I hope that is the case.

 

A nice little Sunday. Congrats! Sharp car. Enjoy.

 

I just did my LED side markers this afternoon. It took me a while to do the first one but the trick is to pull the back (nearest to the door jamb) away from the fender (gently!) to release a spring clip. The front hook should come free at that point. It is a fiddly job, but be patient and watch the video at Suncoast first. Buona fortuna. (they look awesome when they are turned on

 

Gorgeous car! Congrats!

 

Thanks! I can't wait for them to come in...

 

Very nice! Congratulations!

 

Nice! Congrats!!! Terrific way to start the Porsche experience.

 

Congrats and Happy Father's Day!
I have the same wheels - I though of replacing them for a while, but after living them for a few weeks, I really started to like the look. I felt like the car was "born" with them, so I have since felt obligated to keep the original setup...and am very happy with it. The 911 is an amazing machine - enjoy it!
I also changed out to the clear side markers - pretty easy job and it really looks sweet against the black body!!

 

Congrats on the new ride. Let us see some interior shots.

 

Congrats on the new ride!

I'm also in Northern VA - you should join the PCA. Our local chapter (PCA Potomac) is awesome! Maybe I'll see you around... I'll keep my eye open for someone driving a black 911 with a huge grin on their face .

 

Basalt is a great color. I haven't seen jet black, but I was surprised to see basalt go.
Congrats!

 

Awesome! Congrats!!!

 

Congrats
