Default Just pulled the trigger on a 2007 997 Turbo

Just bought it today, but now the long anticipated wait for the transport truck to pick it up and deliver it to me from 2,000 miles away. Hopefully have it 14 days or less.

2007 Arctic Sliver met. / black, 6-spd manual, diff lock, sport wart, etc..

My fourth Porsche, but my first turbo.

Can't wait to drive it!

Nice!

And here I thought I was the only one who prefers the "comfort" seats. The wings on the sport seats push my shoulders forward.

Am I wrong, or is that Natural Black leather?

The car has a black leather interior, but I don't know if it's "natural" ?

I don't have the window sticker, but here's what the dealership listed
for the options on the car. I still don't know what the difference is between "natural" leather and standard black leather?


Options:

-Arctic Silver
-Black Full Leather
-Axle Differential Lock-Rear
-Heated Front Seats
-Rear Window Wiper
-Sport Chrono Package Turbo
-Remote CD Changer
-Floor Mats Interior Color
-Exterior Package Painted
-Standard Rocker Panels Painted
-Porsche Crest in Headrest
-Original MSRP $130,830.00

Great car
GT Silver was an up charge but I'm pretty sure Artic Silver was not. To the OP, nice car!

I remember back in '06 when I speccd out my turbo, I recall there were three colors that had been std in 996s became special order (Arctic, Lapis and Seal) when ticking boxes at the dealer. I believe GT was even more. I could be mistaken but I distinctly remember that tidbit.
