I echo the same sentiments as the folks already stated.

Sunroof in glass- looks better from the exterior and with shade open it makes the car feel more airy inside.
Premium Package Plus-My car has the reverse camera, parking sensors and heated and cooled seats but not the entry. It is annoying that someone individually ticked those options and not the complete package.

I have had power steering plus on both of my 991's and I am a fan others do not think its necessary.

CL's are a matter of preference as is the Burmester.


As for the refresh if you search the forum for the 991.2 you can see the pics of the updated turbo, no real details have been released. Some recent speculation about power big boosts cannot be verified.

Best of luck.

Now is the time to buy a 2014 S. The deals are amazing. I had an offer I could not refuse that bested what you saw. You can be in an S for less than a regular turbo with a few options. There are plenty of 2014 TTS still sitting on dealers lots.

I would love to find the dark blue metallic loaded up with black seats (heated and ventilated) and any other option out there. If you have any leads, please let me know. I am ready to buy!!!

Car.com and autotrader.com

Also go to Porsche.com/usa and start looking at dealer inventory near you. Dealer want to move 2014 Turbo S cars sitting for a while. 15's are here and each turbo s = ~200K sitting for the dealer.

Believe me, I'm not done. I know there is more. Last October I got 20% off a new Cayenne Turbo. Gonna wait it out. Mid December will be my striking point.....

Great strategy. Soon Porsche will give dealers some incentive to get rid of the remaining 2014s on their lots and any remaining Tubo (s)'s will be greatly reduced. The consumers will never know the amount of the incentive to the dealer but they will advertise lower prices to move the old inventory out. My Dealer already has a few 2015 Turbo S's. Once I knew that I pounced on the 2014 and it worked for me.

I was offered 5% off on a 2015 MY. Anyone getting better than that on a 2015 Turbo S 911?

I cannot believe the kind of discount the US dealers are offering. In Canada, each dealer has certain allocation it is almost impossible to squeeze any discount of them.

I turned down a 4% discount from my long time dealer. It was one to be ordered.

There are several people out there that have gotten closer to 10% off on a 2015 order. I would love to find a 2014 out there, but my dealer says that most out there are dealer buy backs that take them off the availability list and therefore, he can't get them for trade.

Anyone know of a dark blue metallic Turbo S 991 with black seats/black interior at a dealership?

Your dealer is full of it...... dealer buy backs..... really.. dealers don't want to trade a 14 for a 15 as they know a 14 will be heavily discounted and a 15 will yield more $$ and more time to sell.

Now, some dealers won't trade a car to another dealer cause they want to keep it for themselves or they punched the in and in this case it won't show in the system as available. Buy backs, I don't think so.

He said that they weren't showing up in the system. I know very well the games that dealers play. At this point, there is no advantage (short of just ordering exactly what you want...at a premium) of buying a 2015 on a lot vs a leftover 2014 and the deals should be getting just stupid here shortly.
I just have to find the color combo that I am in love with: Turbo S Coupe with Dark Blue Metallic and Black interior. Please help if you know of one somewhere!

Yes, not showing up cause the dealers punched the car as sold..... many dealers do this and a punched car will not show up when another dealer searches and it's technically a "sold" car in the mfg eyes.

You are going to have to go dealer to dealer using the Porsche site and click all dealers and go down the line to see if you can find what you are looking for.

Good luck. Take you a few hours but it's the only way to search all the inventory including punched cars.

Aren't dealers looking for cars at other dealerships looking and using the same data base? Why would the punched cars show up when I go online to look and not the dealer? Please explain.

Can't explain and I didn't set up their system, but in my experience when looking for a specific car on my own and then having my preferred dealer search, they were not able to see punched cars. I would say "what about the car at "XXXXXX" and the response was it's not showing up in my search. I then called other dealer directly to inquire and the car(s) was in fact punched. This happened on more than one occasion. Best explanation I have.
