Questions on buying a 08 turbo

Good morning, i am going to buy a 2008 911 turbo in the very near future. I am in South Florida and finally can have a sport car i drive all year round. What options would you guys say are a necessity or to avoid when looking for my new turbo. Anything to look for when i buy it? I appreciate your help or comments. I look forward to becoming a part of the 997t family

I am sure you can get a lot of information by using the search button at the top but i will do a quick note to get you started.

Available Options:

Sport adaptive seats
Sport chrono
Carbon ceramic brakes (PCCB)
Painted seat backs
Leather center console
Carbon fiber package ( door sills, handle inserts,steering wheel,gear shifter ****,hand brake & the center console)
Deviating stitches on the dash/doors/console
White face gauges
Head rest with Porsche crests
Heated front seats
Park sensors
Red/yellow seat belts
Muti-function steering wheel

Hope that helps

I think the 2 most important options are PCCBs (if you're not going to track the car often) and Sport Chrono. You may want to try the different seat options and see which one you feel the most comfortable with as well. I think all the other options are for looks or convenience.

How will you use the car? Will you track it?; modify it or baby it?; manual or auto? cab or coupe?; will it be your only car/daily driver or do you have a bad weather car?
IMO If you are a car guy you will not be disappointed. Every day for the past 8 years of owning a p-car I smile whenever I am in it - not matter my disposition. And don't worry on the year of the car, they are timeless.
Good luck, enjoy.
