No way, I LOVE the MF steering wheel and interchangeable gear button shifters.
Push up, pull back...consistent with the gear selector!

Real men do not push buttons, they pull flappy paddles

Yeah that CF wheel is hot. I think I saw a techart piece that makes the buttons work the same as paddles?

I hate paddles because they don't turn with the steering wheel, then you have to think left vs right and which one does what. Too much for this knuckle head!
The "push forward/pull back" concept works for me but it took a while. Our BMWs have triptronic autos that are inverted (in my mind, normal) compared to the Porsche.
It started a whole debate at home as to which direction is more logical and neither side won.

Anyway, who bought the RY that was recently posted? I'm happy to call on request and have the dealer tell me to pound sand!

The same SA that arranged my 23% discount now barely wants to move on a new Panamera and offered 2-3% off. The tables have definitely turned but a market correction is inevitable, I agree with STG's sentiments there. Sooner or later the bottom feeders will have their day and those with cash in hand will be scoring crazy deals.

Off topic, but since it's a slow dealz day...

I like paddles because you can do it with a gross motor skill, slap a fairly large paddle with all your fingers, while the buttons require a fine motor skill, depress a much smaller button with your thumb or finger. Paddles = less thought, faster, can focus on other things like braking points and apexes. But clearly a personal preference.

Admittedly not much of an issue for driving around town.

How does this broker work? I've seen them post up several cars, they seem to have a good reputation, but the cars seem to remain with the non-local sellers rather than at Overton...

They seem to charge 3%, which sounds fair if they actually were doing all the work, but how much value can they add if they don't take possession of and show the cars for the seller? Primarily a marketing service?

Just curious.

It seems like a marketing service in this instance. I can see expensive-car owners paying 3% to avoid the hassle of a private-party transaction, especially in states that do not have the trade-in tax credit.

Them asking like $140K is INSANE

Porcshe of Livermore is located in a bubble.
A bubble that I can't wait to see pop very soon. All this stupid easy money flying around. It's simply musical chairs and 1999 all over again. My brother can't hire anyone because he can't pay a PhD geologist enough to afford to live there! When $700,000 is the entry price to live in an area that you feel safe walking around outside at night, something is seriously wrong. Don't even get me started on fire fighters and teachers, Do we expect him to live in vans because they can't afford to live there?
