if he wants to give you 14% off, it means he cant sell it. Dont buy a cr your not happy with, and if your not keeping it forever, that 14% might only be a fraction of what your gonna loose trying to re sell it

I have seen it today and this is the long list of options:

Wing mirror (lower part) Alu Look opaque (not really necessary but nice)
Front air intake grilles Alu Look opaque (again nice but not really necessary)
Automatically dimming interior and exterior mirrors (a must)
ParkAssist (a must)
Dynamic cornering lights (very nice)
Hardtop (why not?)
Sport Chrono package plus (certainly a must)
PDK (yes)
Sport Tailpipes (seen them for the time, very nice)
Inflatable spare tyre (required in this country)
Wheel Centre set (not necessary)
HomeLink (garage door opener) (will not use it, don't have a garage with a door)
12 way power seats with driver memory package (sport seat would have been better)
fire extinguisher (required in this country)
three spoke multi-function steering wheel for PDK (good to have)
sand beige floor mats with black leather surround with stitchings in sand beige (nice)
lid of storage bin with Porsche crest (why not, useless though)
sun visors leather two-tone leather (adds to the classiness of the car)
porsche crest oin head restraints (why not, useless though)
soft ruffled leather seat system (I hate it!!!!)
footrest in sports look (YES)
PDK selector and handbrake lever in aluminum (adds a very nice touch)
extended navigation module (a must)
Bose surround sound system (a must)
six disc CD/DVD autochanger (a must)

The car looks nicer that I sought it would. It has the standard 997.2 wheels, but I think I can convince the dealer to put the sport wheels with external color instead at no cost.

The car was recently received by the dealer and they did not even try to sell it. It is not even in the showroom, I went and saw it at the wearhouse.

As for the price, with all these options it will be less than the advertised car that Dustin is selling!!!!

Any second thoughts???

And here are the picture I took today, notice that the lower part of the door and the areas surrounding the floor mats are beige, whereas in the pictures posted above they are black. I am not sure why this happened, I would have liked them in black though.

I'm not a big fan of beige interiors, but that really looks pretty good. Like it has been said before, if it is bothering you even a little now, it's going to bother you A LOT in a few months and in that case I would just pass.

To get the lower door panels and carpets in Black they would have had to order I-no 24951 Deviating Carpet (Exclusive). We almost always order it with the two tone interiors, as it really pulls it all together.

Not a bad looking car, truth be told. I have seen Meteor/Seal with Beige before and thought it looked a bit odd, but with the Black/Sand it seems to work better. Also sounds like a killer deal, however I am not familiar with the margins in other countries. I do know in a lot of the EU markets there is more margin than here in the US, but any way you slice it, 14% is a pretty aggressive deal!

Oh, and DJ, thanks for the Plug!
