trade 15 991 TTS on a '14 Cayenne TTS??
I'm contemplating moving my recently acquired 991 TTS for a Cayenne TTS, why would I do that???
Well a few realities, took delivery of this beautiful car in November, since then my business travel schedule and the Chicago winter has rendered the car to essentially sit in the garage, just clicked 320 miles on the ODO this week.
I also have in my garages an 11 GT3 RS, 09 GT2, 16 GT4 confirmed to be my dealers 1st allocation- July? and finally he called me yesterday to let me know that I will be his 2nd allocation for the 991 RS. An embarrassment of riches for sure.
The straw for me was this past weekend, my wife flew in from our Cali home, I couldn't pick her up as her luggage was too big to fit in my 991.Dinner that weekend with good friends in the suburbs, we had to borrow my son's car as my 991 wasn't going to work well for the couple joining us! Lastly as we were planning our summer at our lake house (2hr drive) with our friends at dinner it became clear that we are going to be stretched all summer in figuring out "load" logistics.
So what to do, I have looked at the RR Autobiography and the Cayenne TTS. My dealer, a terrific guy and someone I would rather deal with than any where else has offered me his left over '14 new untitled, 169K MSRP at 135K and give me 158K for my TTS (190K MSRP)
in my mind the redesign of the '15 is better looking than the '14, in your opinion is the discount worth the move on the '14. He will give me 10% off on any '15 I choose.
As always appreciate the advice/opinions?

As long as I can afford it, I find that the car I really want eventually saves me more money than compromising initially.

We have a '14 CD and a '14 Mercedes E550 Cabriolet and needed another winter beater. Solution was a...don't laugh- Honda CRV- I can't tell you how much I enjoy parking it anywhere, leaving it at the airport, crashing over potholes and making sure the dog is dirty as hell before she gets in. By the way, it holds more luggage than the Cayenne and goes great in snow. With the beating you may end up taking on the 991, try a cheap(er) SUV for a short period of time. I don't recommend the CRV for long trips though. For us, its a stupid cheap solution, and I have no worries being spotted by friends and relatives in a "low brow" car- in fact its kind of fun.
Went ahead and pulled the trigger- yeah I lost some $ but made up a chunk on the buy, ended up paying 120K for a lesser equipped new untitled 14 Turbo S including Full front Xpel- tint-shipping

Beautiful car. I run a black GTS as my daily driver and it is great, looks like a twin to your car without the boost. The key thing to remember is that snows are essential in Chicago. The one issue is there isn't much of a selection in 21" snows. Enjoy!

Congrats on the new car, looks beautiful. If you're looking for winter tires for the stock 21" Turbo II's, I have a set of Pirelli Snow & Ice available. PM me for photos and details
