Aren't the 992.1 Exclusive Design wheels the same as the 992.2 Carrera Classic wheels with the only difference being that the 992.2's are painted gloss black instead of silver? Given, I think the all silver 992.1 ED wheels are better looking without the black, but to each his own.

Ahhhh... that's the difference. I spec'd the Exclusive Designs on my '24 and knew they were forged- didn't know that about the 992.2s, I thought it just might be the color. My favorite wheel in the best color scheme, so I agree with you. The brightness just looks so good.

Couple quick comments...
I've been researching and looking at 992.1s for probably a year. My wife is a factor in all of this as well, as she loves this particular spec w/ the colors and wheels. She's as happy or happier than I am about this purchase. I totally understand that the .2s are coming in a month or so, but I don't love some of the changes. Especially the disappearance of the analog tach and twist to start. Maybe i'm way off, but in 5 years, 10 years the 992.1 could be considered more desirable because it's the last 911 w/ the analog tach.
Perhaps I tell the dealer, "Hey, I think I'd rather just order a '25 for all the various reasons and wait until Spring." Maybe they come back with a discount on the 24?
I built out a .2 in the configurator last night and I ended up at 149k and that included club leather and other goodies this .1 does not have. However, you cannot get the same ED wheels on the .2 and I do love them!

Letting the dealer know that you'll be walking away for any reason will not lower the price on this .1 or a .2 992...there is too much demand at this time.
Buy it and enjoy it now!
Good luck!

Buy the car. Drive the f*** out of it.
If you get nervous about stains / bumps etc, I recommend the following. Go to Home Depot. Get a bag of potting soil. Open car door. Open potting soil. Throw in car. Vacuum out. Worries gone.
Being OCD about cars is a bad state.

I'd check for reputable independents for both PPF (at least front end) and ceramic coating - you may be able to find out who your Porsche dealer uses and go direct. I never had ceramic on top of PPF until my 992 and it's awesome.
Ceramic coating on your chalk leather is easy to apply yourself - I did it on my Silverstone leather M6 and it was easy.
