I'm starting to feel the same way. Black and Cognac under a GT Silver car should be a classic and beautiful combo. I can't think of any reason not to spec it that way.

 

My sales associate got me to add this as well- looks sharp

 

I added it to the spec. It's going to be nice!

 

BTW, do not let an SA deter you from ordering what you ultimately want. I made this mistake on my last order and regret it as I wanted the Exclusive Manufaktur leather sun visors and leather wrapped steering column. I was talked out of it.

 

What was the SA’s argument against both of those?

 

“Waste of money, no one notices them, no ROI, and they will not make or break a sale at resell.” Note, my SA has been with Porsche for decades so I took him for his word.

In the end I do greatly appreciate his candor, but given that I have the heritage package I feel both items would have worked really well with it.

 

Nice classic spec.

If you like the GT3 side skirts, I would order them and install post delivery for the same cost as the aero skirts. Mine are sitting in the garage, and the gt-silver spec looks great with the GT3 side skirts to match the black on the front of the GTS.

 

That's great, thanks. I wanted to do a similar mod on my 991 but I have a narrow body so finding skirts was tough. It should be easier now that they are all wide body.

 

Both you and your SA are right. I got a deviated stitched leather wrapped steering column in my latest 992.2 GTS. I had to lean around hard to even get the phone camera to capture it looking different than the non-wrapped. Hell I got the leather wrapped fusebox covers, the "exclusive" silver (plastic) gas cap, and the "titanium" (also plastic) engine cover. I guarantee you every one of them is 99% worthless for resale and a good SA would have told me so. That said, to quote The Dude "Yeah well that's just like... your opinion man!". I wanted no FOMO this time and would have told him thanks but take my money! I dropped a Macan's worth of upgrades from my 992.2 base on this GTS and half of them I don't even see while driving. But I enjoy having them more than having the money, so win!


My SA did talk me into getting the "smoking package" even though I don't smoke, because it was free (part of Germany's get America Smoking Again campaign) and you can "keep it on your desk and use it for change or something". I was actually more concerned that that line item on the window sticker might make some people think a smoker owned the car and it might smell. I know I would. But I followed my SA's advice...

Kids, don't start smoking. If you do start, don't smoke in your Porsche! Or wear your clothes in it.


This thing is useless even as a coin holder. Don't add it even for free folks!

PS - it's never too late to have those leather wrapped after-market! https://exclusiveoption.com/

 

That’s exactly why I didn’t add it to my order. Just because it’s free, doesn’t mean it’s worth adding…..and could have negative consequences if you ever try a private sale. I knew if I added it to my car, it would just be thrown in the trash.

 

I've made a few config changes. Based on your input, I'm moving to the Cognac interior and going back to centerlock wheels. Thanks, I appreciate your help on this.

Question: How accurate is the 'Green Light for Production' date in the app, and does that reflect the lock-in of the config? I'm not sure I understand this.
