Exciting moment for me...

This is my first post on this forum. I have been hanging out on the BMW forums for a few years. I have not really paid much attention to Porsche until a couple of years ago. I have been catching myself looking at Porsche's on the street.

Well, I went for a test drive today. Wow! I was impressed with the handeling of the cars, but was not impressed with the power of the 911 4S Carrera. I then drove the Turbo and all I can say is this car has the power I want.

I am now in the hunt for the Porsche 911 Turbo S. I will be saying good-bye to my M5, which I have owned for only 8 months.

What type of features should I be looking for in this car? The price range that I am seeing in the area has been 165-180K. Is this what I should expect?
Thank you guys in advance for any type of advice you might have for this newbie.

Most TTs cars are loaded already. I would look for one in the color you want with sport seats, expect 160-ish. Anything in the 180s is a cab, or has ridiculous leather options. A lot of the dealer specc'd cars which are on the lots now have the 12 way comfort seats. That was a deal breaker for me.

TT Surgeon, Thank you for the advice.
What is the difference between the 12 way comfort seat and the sport seats?
I'm looking into the cab. I like the idea of having the choice of a convertible, but is there anything I should be worried about when it comes to the cabs?
