Mats

Mats
Still can't get over the fact that they want $150 for a set of floor mats on my 114K car. Out of principle, I have opted to buy a set of Coco mats in matching colors for the front and rear floors and the luggage area. Anyone have these? Also, will get some weathertech winter rubber mats but weathertech doesn't have custom mats for the Panamera yet, they hope to in 2-3 months which surprised me. Any feed back on these products?

I will certainly have the car serviced and get wiper blades and anything else the car needs. I am not cheap, just principled. The coco mats cost lots more than the $150 Porsche mats. The problem is the mats should come in the damn car! And even if they don't, they shouldn't cost $150. I don't mind spending money, and lots of it, I DO mind getting ripped off.

You've already payed for things like aluminum trim (isn't leather $0?) and parking assist. Might as well throw in a nickel for the mats too.
It's not like they're $150 each.

I agree that the concept of paying for floor mats in a $100K+ car is inane. On both my 997 TT and my Panamera Turbo, before negotiating the final price, I told the dealer that he had to pay for the floor mats as a matter of principle. He laughed and agreed both times.

Plus, if you take care of your mats, they're a 1 time buy. Wiper blades need replacing, no matter what.
So I disagree that the wiper blade argument follows the same logic as the floor mats (even if porsche mats don't have "porsche" stitched in.

Wiper blades are replaced for free for 4 yrs or 50K miles on BMWs. I hear where you are all coming from, it is silly on one hand to complain about mats when you are 114K into the car but to me it seems like a principal is at stake. My wife's Honda came with mats, so should a Porsche.
