Default Thrilled New Owner!!!

Well after having the P Car bug bad after a trip to No Cal about two months ago, I decided it was time to take the plunge. A dream of mine for a long time has come true and I couldn't be happier!

I purchased a 2007 TT from a dealer in the midwest, and the wife and I drove it home to PA in a blur!!! What a great ride. It is awesome, way beyond my expectations as a first time Porsche owner.

The car seems clean, a little higher mileage than I would have preferred (56k at pick up), but she is awesome. Cali car then to Arizona then Arkansas. Talked with the previous owner and all seemed to check out. It will be a fun car for me, not a DD, so hopefully it will be Ok. Just had a local Indy go over it and do the 60 K maintenance. It is so awesome....

Its Slate Gray with a natural tan interior, 6 speed manual, and in great shape. It came with tint and a Fabspeed exhaust, sounds awesome.

I have started my mods, H & R sport springs installed, had the Techart wheel centers painted gloss black, and installed LED tails. More to come but for now I couldn't be happier.

Thanks to all the members on this forum, your help for me was invaluable and you didn't even know it! Years of Vwvoretx and Audizine boards taught me to trust the information on these boards. You guys are great and I can't wait to meet up with some of you at some upcoming PCA events!

Great choice. I wouldn't be afraid of those miles in the least. Wheels look fantastic. Enjoy.

I recently bought a slate grey with brown natural leather myself. I have to say I love the color, there is a slight brown color in the slate grey that matches really well with this interior. Congrats! It is a truly lovely car.
