Windboat organized porsche drives sound awesome!

I'll shoot you an email when you get back. Looks like I can't send messages until I post 15 times. This site is intense!

Young man - that is not the way to refer to a wedding ring!!

Yes, but it will put you into a 997, not a 991. If you want the 991 (which is a much better car, IMHO) then you can't do any better than you are doing now on this car, even if it is silver.

Best of luck.

Do you know what "silver" your 991 is that you're looking at? Platinum silver?

The deal sounds pretty good. I did exceptionally well on my car that came from a Range Rover dealer ( traded in for a long wheel base Range rover). I don't think they knew what they had. My car had a list of almost $150k and had clear bra on the front and rear bumpers and hood and the built in escort 9500 ci. I paid less than you are about to.

STG the car is platinum silver metallic. Neil - looks like you got a crazy deal. Was your car a CPO? What options brought the MSRP up to 150?!

I think I did get a crazy deal. As the car was bought at a Land Rover Dealer it is not cpo. I figured the guy must have been into it for 154k plus tax due to the radar and clear bra stuff.
It has mostly good options but 2 that imo aren't worth the money. Shifter in alcantara for like $850 and seat belts in yachting blue for 400 I think. The big ticket items include the pdk, sport chrono, pdcc, ceramic brakes, 18 way sport seats, full leather and a bunch of other stuff. And remember my car is a cab.

The platinum silver is by far my favorite silver. If I recall it has some brown flakes that give it a different look in varying lighting conditions. A little darker than the Ingot type silvers. Enjoy

Ha - 4pete why would you recommend waiting to get a p-car? I thought the general consensus was that 90k was a fair deal for a fully loaded C2S.
