I think that’s true, but the first tier of optional lights still uses the swiveling motorized arrangement:

There’s only 1 way. Well, other than a 1-pay
12months
5000 miles per year
84% residual.
No MRM

Thanks! What is the MF and what happens if you do 1-pay?

No need for extended tank here.
While I don't disagree I will be tracking my S/T multiple times a year

Guys talking about which headlights weigh less on a non track focused car when they could lose 10lbs of body weight with a quick 24hour shift in diet and taking a healthy sh*t that morning

Welp, it looks like I celebrated too quickly.

The owner of my dealership just told the manager that he is keeping the car for himself, so there goes my allocation. It’s a little surprising because I have the SC that they gave me at sticker that they were going to get back at sticker which for them would be a highly profitable transaction, but there you have it. It’s a little disappointing because I thought it was a done deal, but I don't really get that fussed when things like this happen.

The silver lining in the whole thing is that the manager who is a good friend of mine and a man of integrity, knowing that he wasn’t able to keep his word to me, has freed me up to do what I wish with the Sport Classic. So I can sell it and use the money to pay the ADM on an ST or maybe I can find another dealer who’s willing to trade keys at msrp. I haven’t kept track of the SC market but I’m assuming it’s effectively a $200+ ADM for them.

Or, and this is also very possible, as I noted before I love my SC to bits and was always torn on whether I wanted to trade it for an ST or just keep it and add a 992.2 Touring when it comes out and be happier with owning an SC/GT3T combination rather than just the ST … so maybe this is the universe telling me to keep the SC.

I guess I’ll investigate to see if I can even find a dealer that still has an ST available who would take the SC for it … it might not even be an available option to me at this stage.

Sorry to hear that Soulsea, but nice to see you taking it in stride and possibly as a sign to keep the SC. Not sure many of us would accept that news with such grace

Winners mindset right there, we can't control the wind only how we set our sails. Still unfortunate news to hear. Hope you get the ST if it’s meant to be.
