After much soul searching, I decided that my '87 911 could learn to share the garage with a 2006 CTT. In a nod to any hurt feelings, I bought one in the same color. The PO is getting the dealer to replace the plastic water pipes and do a comprehensive service so when I pick up in a week or so it will be ready to roll on down the road with authority. Yes, this is a private sale from a fellow Porsche fanatic, who also has a lovely backdated '87 911. So cats and dogs can get along...

Here are the details, love your thoughts on these options (see attached invoice for full list).

Crystal Silver/Black Leather
75K Miles, Two Owners, Full Service History (first owner was a co-founder of Snapple and had the car for 1 year, then got a new one - nice!)
CPO till 11/2011 (or 100K)
20" Sport Techno Wheels with 2 sets of tires (summer and winter) and a set of 18" wheels
Pano Roof, Rear Air, Camera and Park Assist, etc
Clear Front Markers and B/C pillar blackouts new in box
Motorola Bluetooth adapter installed
Items less than perfect: two wheels are slightly curbed
Super Clear CarFax

So there you have it. Is this the dark side or just the other side of the planet? Looking forward to having a true luxury performance experience, my last two SUVs were the 2003 Toy Land Cruiser and 2007 BMW X3. I think this is going to be something a level above.

Questions:

I do my own work, but the CPO is very welcome! I thought I read somewhere that you could extend this up to 150K miles - is that possible?

iPhone. iPod. I have 'em, love 'em. How do I get the music from them into this Bose system? I hope you will not say Dice adapter...

Oh yeah, anyone want to buy a 2008 Mini Cooper S with 16K miles? When one comes in, another must depart...

Nice looking CTT. Welcome to the Pig Pen.

Welcome to club P!g. The CPO takes the risk off you for a little while which is nice. Silver exterior rocks those technos like no other (but then again, I'm biased ). When I asked my P dealer about extending my CPO warranty, they laughed.

Now this one definitely fits the description of "has almost every option imaginable" better- 20" wheels, pano roof, 4 zone AC, and the not so common rearview camera! Congrats

AFAIK, no, but you can always ask your dealer.

mOBridge and Dension units have been the most installed/discussed/supported here on RL across the various forums.
You might want to search the Carrera/Boxster forums, since the infotainment system is 95% common between the two platforms, so there is a lot of information and pictures available.


BTW, nice use of the word "plunge" ... very fitting for a new Cayenne owner.

BTW2, please ask the previous owner if there has been any leaks in the Pano roof or any services for issues like rattles, etc.
Much like the modern Targa top, they are beautiful, but when they need service ...

And welcome to the P!g Pen.

Congrats, looks like a very well cared for Pepper (not P!g).
Good move getting the coolant tubes replaced, haven't needed mine done yet but I too have over a year left on CPO.

Again, congrats!

I had some occasional rattles on rough roads from the X3 sunroof, which was similar to the Pano, these don't get under my skin too much.

Leaks, those I don't like. I'll keep an eye on it, and will certainly be pouring over the records.

Love the pano roof. Wish my 06 CS has it. Anyway, congrats on a sweet-lookin' ride!

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Since my wife has never driven or even looked closely at these since they came out, I am hoping to "wow" her with the interior and power. I think it will do the trick.

+1. Chris, it's definitely much better a vehicle than the other Pepper that you were considering. The Technos are very unique and gorgeous! Congrats! I'm jealous for your rear-view camera. Enjoy!

Our Pano roof has never leaked but there is a rubber seal in the front that can get bent and jam the operation so you may wanna check that. I took the whole thing apart because the very front flap wouldnt close, it wasnt till after i had it all apart that i realized it was that rubber seal. Its been trouble free otherwise and there is a procedure to reset the whole thing if you ever need it. Ours doesnt make any rattles but does allow a little more wind noise at cruise than a normal roof when its closed.

Congrats on your car they are really really nice.

How did you get the dealer to replace the coolant pipes if they are not leaking?

I may know someone for your Cooper S
email me at hiperformance@hotmail.com
Good luck on the new ride

The PO has a very good relationship with the local dealer. The car just developed a "new" coolant leak after we talked about it

I will sell you my Dice Ipod adapter for $350. That is about half price. I bought it for my P!G with a navi unit and decided not to install it. I want an 08GTS instead, and the come with Navi. I think it disables the cd changer in the back.
