In your expert opinions, why would someone spec the car with PDCC, but no SPASM?

I think some buyers (and more likely sales reps) think the SPASM might make the car too harsh for some roads or areas. Not me, but that's my guess... The beauty of PDCC is it gives flat cornering without a super stiff suspension. Again, not necessarily my preference, but for some it's just the ticket.

A bigger mystery is why so many buyers spec out $125K+ 911's with all kinds of fancy options but still don't spec full leather... Keep your 18 way seats, embossed crests, and navigation, PDCC, colored crests and wheel spacers but give me a cowhide dash and doors!

As posted Monday, wanted to circle back here to let STG and everyone know that I bought this 991 with 2,900 miles at BMW of San Antonio. 1 owner, sold new at Kings in Cincinnati. It is absolutely amazing, and with the Sport Exhaust, is an animal. In love. Passing my 2011 Cayman that I bought new in January 2011 to my son in the Fall when he starts his Senior year in high school.

Here's the build sheet STG provided to me earlier in this thread, a picture I took while scoping it out last month, and the link from BMW of San Antonio.

I paid $74,500 + TTL:

The new targa was released, so I guess nostalgia helped the value there. Thanks again for all the advice
I bought my car at Porsche Westwood, and there were a couple great deals at Herb Chambers Boston. I checked out a car at Herb Chambers Burlington; I think it was listed for ~$72k, just as a data point for your search: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/8636...l#post13732548

You can check out my 911 with the car seat installed, if interested. I live in Somerville, and will be looking for excuses to go out for a drive once the weather improves

Anyone come across this or have any reviews? What's appealing to me is the factory aerokit, the gauge cluster (looks like you can get off suncoast), and in general the matching red interior accents. Seems to be a well optioned build, would prob do away with the 3.8 decal on the sides

Mileage doesnt worry me but the exchange of 4 owners already does - thoughts? It is at a Porsche dealer so I'm assuming a PPI is not needed....

I could be totally off here but the front passenger inner fender lining does not look right to me. Shadow from the picture?

Some don't want the reduced clearance height. SPASM is 10mm (almost 1/2") lower than PASM. PASM standard on the S models is another 10mm lower than a base Carrera. So both combined is almost 1" lower than a base model Carrera without PASM.

See visitador's comments. Lives in NorCal. Tight and bad roads. Clearance issues. Makes sense for some. PDCC will help with ride too.

You have to remember, guys here live all over the USA. Different driving environments to deal with and how the car is used.

This is a great point. I had SPASM on my 981 S. It made the car look great but was a PITA for a daily driver. It really needed a front lift kit.
