White SE...that is some serious ****e! I love it!

Lambo all the waay unless this is a daily driver. BTW, you are adding 30K of options or more? What options are you getting?

Im not really a fan of the new TT (yet) but then again I've never truly liked any lambo. Although the G is the best lookin car in the lambo stable. Tough beans friend. I'd prolly go for the G, since it's available now, and then switch out to a TT later.....at least two years into the TT production.

G all the way...what options are you getting on the TT to drive the price up so much?

Eric (Plug Guy) 03-09-2006 04:47 AM

Do the background chicks come with the G? That might influence the decision.

hilarious

Lighten up on the turbo options, big boy!! :p

Really tough question, but I think it comes down to what do you want? On the one hand, a really nice daily driver that will appear to be similar to every other P-car on the road or something that will call attention to you everywhere you go.

How comfortable are you going to be parking that G-car at the mall?

mja 996TT 03-09-2006 07:12 AM

the G's that I've looked at have been between 201-215........... you must have spec'd every option (and some twice) to get anywhere near that price.

the one issue that has kept me from the G is that I'm not sure how long until the novelty would wear off. I'm not into the additional attention and hassle that the G will bring. The leasing company that I work with told me that 6 out of the 10 they leased were sold within 6 months --- at a big loss.

If those issues wouldn't bother you, then I would go for the G.... you can always get into a second or third year 997TT

what did you spec out???? How can the 997TT reach $200,000???hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious hilarious

I got ...

OVER $10K in carbon fiber

Porsche Ceramics

Limited Locking Differential

Nav, Phone, Handset, Painted Rear, Painted Rockers, and more ...

When I spec'd out a 997S with my options it came to $185,000 (US CONFIG) so I'm assuming the TT along with tax & title will be over $200K???? Then again maybe some of the things I picked on the C4S come standard on the TT??

I found this ... http://www.catsexotics.com/inventory-detail.php?key=42

BD 997 03-09-2006 08:18 AM

lets say...
painted rockers(XAJ) - $2k
painted seats - $2k
PCCB -$9k
full carbon- $12k
LSD- $3k
sports chrono- $1500
phone/hand set -$2k
nav- standard
total options and tax= $32k
MSRP- $123,000

$123,000 + $32k (options) = $155,000 x 5% Tax (average) = $162,000 Give or take....

I guess you could get a Low Mileage 05 Gallardo....

I believe Roy sold his SE, but i could be wrong. Your TT will not end up being 200k, it will be closer to 155k.

I agree...

I don't ever believe in getting the first year run of ANY car. Go for the SE Dario.

That's the only arguement that I would agree with. That said... save some money, wait a year... 08 TT hilarious
