I posted this a while back. I like this car. Hot buy!

18 ways and leather are overrated. Nice, but I'd rather have performance options.

Sweet! Just put my deposit now. They are certifying it and I will be driving down Saturday morning to pick it up and trade in my C63! Will post pics....this thread has been gold.

Awesome. I had mentioned getting a CPO on it. Glad you worked it out. Congrats! GREAT car and buy.

You'll have fun with the manual!

Nice ^^^^^

I'd just swap out for a aluminum sport steering wheel for like $1,500 personally. Easy change down the line

Any of you guys lucky enough to be in the Atlanta area, check out Jean-Claude for any detailing services. Paint correction and paint protection film specialist and pro!

Too bad he's not closer to me! If I were to get another car, I'd probably just have it shipped to him for work.

Check out his great write ups here:

For you SoCal guys. Moe is your man. Another artist.

I don't offer recommendations lightly, but these guys are superstars in their line of work in paint correction, paint protection film, and nano coatings.

need someone in the NY/NJ region. Any recommendations?

Thanks

STG, can you or anyone else recommend a good detailer in Dallas? Most concerned with paint correction and basic detailing.

STG

Have heard very good things about him:

Not 100% sure about his paint protection film services (I'd inquire with him), but great for paint correction and coatings for sure.

thanks

Nice looking car at a good price but must haves for me are full leather, PSE and PDK.

I must respectfully disagree on the 18s. My recently traded TT had 14s and my Boxster GTS has the 18s, so I drove both (often on the same day). The 14s are fine, but IMO the 18s are "better" overall. I only got the 18s because it was a GTS (my '13 Boxster had 14s as well), but having lived with them since November, I'm sold on them. I would order them again for sure, even with the upcharge.
And I'm not skinny either.
As far as leather, it's insulting to me that a $100K+ car doesn't come with a full leather interior. But we keep buying them, don't we?

STG

Overrated as in I wouldn't pass on a perfectly spec'd car without those things. I do like the 18 ways and leather. I do agree, that a lot of these "touches" shouldn't be extra $$ options!

Everything is ala carte!

^^^ Agree 100%

There are several options that are overrated in my opinion and shouldn't stop someone from picking up an otherwise nicely equipped car.

STG

That being said, a perfectly spec'd car for someone might be 18 ways and Burmester over some other performance options. Too many different tastes among buyers. As long as someone finds what makes them happy, all is well

yep, a MT is #1 on my list of must haves for any 911 but a properly equipped PDK wouldn't stop me from pulling the trigger

Sport Chrono was on my wish list. The car I'm getting doesn't have it and I knocked it out of contention initially because it didn't. After thinking about it I realized it is silly to not consider a car for lacking an option that in reality is mostly pointless (which applies to most options for these cars).

When I distilled my wish list down to what a car absolutely must have to be a contender I ended up with:

PDK
14 or 18 way ventilated seats

That's it! So for me anything beyond that is icing on the cake. Not to mention I got a car that is a unique and rare color. (Another hint for you STG)
