Just wondering if I paid too much?

odd to me that it does not have prices of each item on the sheet. a window sticker has all the standard equip and options and all prices. It also shows the warrantee start date.
My question is, why do they call that stitching deviated? No car has the same stich color as the leather, they would normally make the red leather with white, they make black leather with white or silver etc

I'd advise putting buyer's remorse out of your brain. It's done. Your car looks awesome. Enjoy it. I find generous use of the Sport Plus Button and twisty back country roads tend to diminish buyer's remorse!

The purchase is done, now come the fun part, driving with a permagrin every time you take it out. Makes my commute to and from work that much more enjoyable. Not to say that I still don't peek to see what others have been paying for comparable 911s.

I can understand the urge to second guess.. not really remorse, per se. I have continued to check prices and I bought my GTS nearly 3 months ago now.
It's not a bad price, considering all the interior options. Enjoy

Welcome to the club! Now, quit worrying about the past; you've got a 911! A beautiful one at that.
I don't know what the going rate is for a 40k service is in Houston, but I did it in '14 and '16 in Denver on an '06 S and '08 4S. It was $1070 in 2014 and $1150 last month for the service and brake fluid flush. I didn't bother with the plugs, but that's up to you.
You can take a nice road trip for the service price difference between dealers.
That said, I'm glad I have a dealer perform the services and keep me updated on updates:-)

Just purchased a 2009 Carrera S Coupe with 9800 miles.
Cream white, MT, natural brown leather interior, sport shifter, Bose, nav, sport chrono plus,
Sport seats, body colored (seat backs, console, dash trim, door pulls), Carrera S II wheels,
Rear wiper, blue tooth, universal interface, crests, heated seats, etc. MSRP was $109,000
Absolutely perfect: no flaws, no paint work, new Pilot Sports
Paid about 60K. Trade makes exact price hard to determine.
BTW, I think that you got a very special car at a fair price...enjoy

No buyers remorse at all, I was just curious being new to the Porsche scene and coming from corvettes if I got a decent deal or not. I am not looking back and the only vette I would ever buy again would be a 63' split window, which probably wont happen. This car is what I have wanted for awhile, whyI bought the C7 Z51 is beyond me, lol. That's was buyers remorse!!

Thank you all for your input, its greatly appreciated, the car was on the lot for four days when I picked it up, that was partly why I was asking as well. So fun in sport mode, really havnt messed with the sport plus button. I have learned a lot from this site so far and again appreciate the info. I have gathered.

(Ads for big ticket items that we purchase always have this component worked in somehow. For cars, note how there are all sorts of accolades or positive comparisons when introducing a new model. This seeks to ameliorate any discomfort (dissonance) before you even make a purchase - and if you have made a purchase to give you positive feedback that it was the correct one. But alas, in the end, as I typically disclaim, I'm a pea-brained biologist, what do I know about such things.)
