I am currently waiting for my 06 S Cab...Being impatient, I stopped by another dealer wh said he has one coming in with almost my same options...Black / Sand.

Only difference is a Sycamore wood package (about $6,200 worth). I am not sold on it...does anyone have pics of this combo? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Oz

I think you will be happier if you wait for your order. Personally the wood in the Porsche does not appeal to many and to have to pay $6200.00 for it.

I don't think anybody here would have that unusual combo. Good luck!

wood is a negitive option IMHO. wood in lux. cars are great, but not in sports car.
if you need somewhat nicer int. check our car. fiber.

Thanks for the input...I was letting my impatient impulse get the best of me! I sold my 2000 996 about a week after I ordered my new one and now I am going through withdraws.

I ordered my Cab in early August...I still do not have a build date. Is this unusual? I have never pre-ordered a car before...my last I just took off the lot.

Do you know what month build? Was it a November build when you ordered?

The sales person thought so...I just figured I would an actual date by now.

I am on a Nov Buil also sitting at ORDMXC status. I do not know my actual production date yest but my salesman is keeping an eye on it for me.

996, when did you order yours? Around the same time I did in ealry Aug?

The only thing i really don't like is wood on the steering wheels. Its glossed over and that makes it slick compared to a leather wheel. I wear thin leather gloves driving anyways, but if you don't, then a wood wheel is not something i would look foward to in a sports car.

EDIT: I will say however, this new wood package Porsche offers...Macassar? Or whatever the real dark one with the offcolor grain lines is, it is STUNNING! First time ive ever REALLY liked a wood trim on the inside. Good job to them!

I have had wood steering wheels in a few C2 corvettes I have owned, usually teak and they were beautiful. If you wear rings, after awhile the rings will put slight "dents" in the wood. Adds a little character. My 911 T also had a wood wheel.

Thanks to all for the candid input. I think I'll just wait for the one I ordered.
