Thanks! You 7 speed guys are stars-
In your opinion & this is a crazy question but what is the best way to do this
$100k check?
$60k down & finance 40k for 3 years?
Lease it
I do have a company I could run it through
How long do u guys keep your Porsche cars? I bet if I kept one for 10 years- 20 years it would be affordable

Or do some financing. Interest rates are near an alltime low, 1.9% should be available. Cars are not wise investments, generally the shorter time you keep them, even less so.
I have only written checks for cars twice, and contrary to popular belief it did not save me any money when I traded/sold them within 2-3 years.

Congrats! I had the same feeling just 3 weeks ago when I picked up my baby. Count me in as another 7MT advocate. This tranny is just that good, from shifter weight and position to clutch pedal feel- my goodness I love the clutch feel. Other car clutches are getting way too light for a sporting feel. I haven't experienced the PDK yet, but had M-DCT on my M3 for two years. I would assume they are similar as trannys go and while they are technological marvels for speed and comfort, there is always that familiar feeling about a manual transmission that you can't shake.
Be sure to post pics up post pick up!

Still getting used to the new Trans & Clutch...
Seems like computer is having a few hicops....
But a outstanding car...
I do wish I would have got full leather & the $5000 stereo but its is A-ok for now
Merry Christmas

I thought thats pretty darn good deal- I believe it has black wheels & I want regular S wheels they will switch those also-
$19k off
Switch wheels
hopefully Using tax credit
I just am not rich and writing a check for $100k is a big deal! Its hard to get everything desired and spend $130k
The best part is I get to fly a few states away & drive her home!
Its like I am 10 years old on the last day of school and its 3.20pm

If you like a manual transmission, you will love this one. Nobody else's opinion matters. If you've had mixed results with MT's in the past, this one will teach you how wonderful they are. I think it's a good choice and you shouldn't let it ruin your confidence now that you have a good deal at hand.

There is a stereo in this car???
. I did not spend $ on stereo in our currents cars, don't miss it at all. For weekend spirited or fun drive, the engine note is the best music. For my short commute, I listen to talk radio on AM... My wife like to listen to music when she drives her car around town. I just prefer the silent and enjoy note of the car, even for in town driving. Congrats and drive safe.
