Default New to me Targa 4S

Hey all,

Just picked up my first Porsche and I couldn't be happier about it! Made a roadtrip with two of my kids to pick it up. On our trip home we made a trip through Yellowstone and had the chance to get familiar with the car over a 1900 mile journey. I am just smitten with this car already.

Here are the stats:

CPO 2009 Targa 4S 6 MT with 9300 Miles
One owner - all service records and clean history
Meteor Grey
Stone Grey full leather
Adaptive Sport Seats
PSE (WOW)
Sport Software
Short Shift Kit
Speedster Stone Guards - not sure if I like them
Bose Sound (meh)
Immaculate condition!!!

I am excited to finally be in the Porsche family and have been dreaming of this day for 20 years!

I am attempting to post pictures, so sorry if it doesn't work.

I spent a lot of time researching for my purchase and I learned so much from members on this forum - so thanks for all the time you guys take to share all your knowledge!

Thanks Spokane5150.

Minok - the unit is a Passport 9500ci. Not sure exactly where the receiving unit is, but my guess is behind the front bumper somewhere???

Great looking Targa. Not much to do either.

Thanks neanicu, Farfelc2s, and JonasJ.

Farfelc2s, the stoneguards on your black Targa look great. I love the blacked-out look you've got going on your car - very nice!

Looks great and I like the speedster stone guard. I think I'll have to do it myself too. The clear one that yellows and shows dirt on the edges needs to go.

Full leather and the white gauges are items that complete the look.

Very nicely optioned! I really like the grey wheels and stone guards. I noticed it came with the fire extinguisher. It is an omen that it really wants to be tracked
