$75k to spend - turbo or c4s
#16
Congrats! You're gonna love it!
As said before PCCBs shouldn't require any maintenance other than the usual brake fluid. I've got 62k miles on mine. No issues.
Nobody mentioned the clutch. You might need a new one around 50k miles, depending how it's been driven.
I use the mObridge kit for iPod connectivity, and it works as advertised. No issues. For Bluetooth, I have no experience with this unit, but it might be worthwhile for you:

I have a 2008 C4S and a new turbo on order. You made the right decision; within a year I wanted a turbo.
www.navtv.com for Tooki bluetooth, iPod adapter and Sirius sat module. I have all three installed in my 08 and they work perfectly. Everything is completely integrated with the head unit and I have a OPi-P unit for the iPod portion of the phone that allows me to play songs from the phone's iPod controlled through the head unit as long as you don't have a CD changer up front. I am not confident about iPhone 4, however, everything 3Gs and prior works perfectly. The Sirius Sat module also integrates with the head unit so for an after market option I can attest to all three working well.

sorry, lost the notification to the thread.
attached area few pics so far.
I love the car! the lag was a bit surprising with all the hype I read about the new technology but its okay, especially in sport mode.
the car came with cup wheels and tubi exhaust as well as the factory rims and tires (no miles) and factory exhaust. may consider selling the rims and tires. what are they worth?
I do notice there's a rattle from the motor when ignition is killed. my guess is rocker arms rock one or two more times after its turned off. anyone experience this? could be exhaust rattling but sounds more internal. expected a prompt stop of all components.
warranty cost nothing. Porsche extended factory warranty for 2 more years on top of July. Made buying online without seeing or driving the car possible.
Car's in great shape for 4 years old and met all my expectations. i'm still humbled every time I open the garage...
cheers

added mobridge for bluetooth and ipod control. bluetooth performs great. address book is small and wont store numbers in "important numbers" menu long term. Ipod control is not that good but works. overall probably worth the $1200 for good hands free calling ability and some ipod functionality while the phone charges.
last pic was comical and my new pet peeve. above that was my son (9 year old) thinking he was funny...

Well done! Nice wheels.... About time with the pics!
Whats with the porsche eating 18 wheeler???? Interesting pic! There is tons of infor on your new car here, read away. Absorb as much as you can! Dont sell the factory wheels, the tires if 4 years old are going to be close to dry depending on how they were stored. Save them to replace on the car when you sell it! Or if you dont care for them, post on the 997 forum, there may be interest from the NA cars.

Very nice kevin, I have the same wheels, they are champion rg5s, one of the lightest/strongest around. congrats. I recently purchased mine off lease I loved it so much, you have nothing to worry about. the stock rims are worth about 1500. i would hold onto them for snows/track tires, etc.

Beautiful car, enjoy! I would keep the factory wheels - the car cannot be certified (again, in the future) with non-OEM wheels, and you never know when you might want to trade.
I put RG5's on my 05 997S when it was almost new and I still love those wheels.
Congrats to your son on his artwork. We should hook him up with my 9 y/o daughter.
