Thanks, I end up with Newport (They are closer to me) and yes free floor mat and wheel cap. Pacific would give $500 off and floor mat and Circle would give me $600 in free stuff.

Get the thicker steering wheel and the painted console or leather console. Those would be my only suggestion. Otherwise, hang in there, it'll get here soon enough!

Your a "WAITER" now, time passes slowly..
Consider geting option 267 Self dimming mirrors, well worth the price, you'll be glad you did.

Highly agree with MJones...Get the self-dimming mirrors...should be standard on a 90-100k car. You'll curse the car for not having it the first time your blinded by some SUV's headlights as you reach to switch the "dazzle" switch...

Otherwise...CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thanks texas911, riad and MJones it does feel fantastic in the same time feel little guilty about spending 90+K on a car (I know it’s not just a car it’s a Porsche).

TerryR, I did not have to deal much, but than I really don’t negotiate with salesman. I just bottom line it Pacific will give me a discount, Circle will give me $600 in free stuff now I still would like to buy it from you so get me the floor mat , clear side marker and something else(he say you pick, his name is Steve). That’s it.

Do I miss the Bi-Xenon lights on the list?

This is the first time I drive a car where the lights make sense. Very nice and clear light and well defined.
