Yesterday I stopped by the Danbury Porsche Dealership to place an order for a new 2010 Porsche Turbo. After working with my sales rep Chip Hall over the past several weeks we arrived at an option list that I was excited about. I'm fairly new to the Turbo forum, mostly reading and learning, rather than posting or replying that often. For those who have known me on the 997 forum I've enjoyed driving my Tiptronic over the last four years. This week I will have to trade it in early to finalize the purchase. That was the agreement we arrived at, but they were nice with their offer so I couldn't refuse. My order is for a November build slot. Accoding to Chip there aren't many slots available at this time. So if you're interested in purchasing a new 2010 Turbo see your dealer soon. There will be a limited number this year.
Here are the options I selected.

Additional modifications that the dealership will add for me are:
Escort 9500 CI radar/ laser detector
I forged Seneka wheels, painted black on the interior, high polish on the reverse lip.
Custom Lloyd mats with Speed Yellow "Turbo" logo.
Speed Yellow Turbo insignia from Bumper Plugs (this isn't for everyone, but it's me.) Took a page out of Coochas's book for this one

2010 Turbo.

It will be a long Fall and Winter without my car, but it will give me some time to catch up on my reading. Want to thank all that have helped me make this decision; Chris, Eugene, and especially Dave Coochas.

Sounds nice! Your feedback will be appreciated by all of us but especially by those of us that decided to go with the 2009 rather then the 2010.

DRJMK

so Eric.... did you order one???

Coochas

That is going to be sweeeeeet Jay.

Thanks for the reply guys. As soon as she comes in next year, don't worry; I love posting pics.
When I know the exact build date I'll let you know of it's approximate arrival.

DocJackson, as far as the trade and price. Yes they gave me a nice trade. I assume mainly because I was one of the first to order a 2010 Turbo from them. And yes they did give me a discount. However in paying homage to my sales rep Chip Hall, whom I've become close friends with over the years, I've always kept our business private. My suggestion is to sit down with your own rep and see what's the best they could offer you. Let's face it in this economy new Porsche sales have been slow. And a patient mind with an organized financial approach will get them (the dealer) to move closer to your price.

Nope.

I'll post something soon......

Jay..ordered a TT cab myself. Turned down the November production slot because they couldn't paint the lower lip (front spoiler) crazy as that sounds - so waiting to December where the computer should take the option and with a delivery in March. Basalt Black on Black with painted rockers and front lip,PDK, steering wheel with paddles,PTV, Painted seat backs, XM, Bluetooth, IPOD etectras...here in Canada the Turbos come with Chrono. I couldn't get my head around the ceramic brake option ($)...


My last 996 was black on black which I loved and really got twisted about choosing a colour. In the end, I hope the Basalt was the right color - should look classy yet wicked...

DJ23

Overdraft,
I think the basalt black is a great classic color. You can't go wrong there. It's great that they include the sport chorno with the Turbos in Canada. Take that money that you saved and get the ceramics. Trust me from what I've heard the inverstment is more than worth the quality that you get in return for the price, especially when you consider that to purchase them new you wouild spend around $14K installed. It's quite a savings. And let's face it. At this juncture with the power that this car posesses it's not about how fast you go. It's about how great the ride quality is; that's all. In any event I love the options and I'm sure like myself you can't wait to try the PDK. To read about the PDK and to use it I'm sure are two different worlds. Should be a heck of a ride.

Can't wait.
