I hear the turbo is around 140 -150 k ballpark in the states.....

Just picked p my Cayenne S after servicing and the dealer had a new Turbo, after taxes, try 195,699 sticker price......ouch.

did I mention its a 40%tax on luxury vehicles in Puerto Rico?



PS: carreras are @ 130s

 

Ouch x 2

 

in the states, you can get a turbo with turbo sports chrono, lsd and heated seats for 127k. was your cayenne considered a lux vehicle? what are the criterea for a lux vehicle?

 

MSRP in the states for the 997 Turbo is $122,900.00
MIne was $129,640.00 with options. You only really "need" a couple options, as the rest are cosmetic and you will lose the money anyway on trade-in. The must haves in my opinion are
Sport Chrono Turbo
Axle Differential Lock (limited slip)
Sport Shifter (no longer available option, but was avail when I ordered mine)
Heated Seats
6Disk Changer(since somehow, Porsche offers neither sat radio or i pod integration in its 911's....Retarded if you ask me)

I personally also got supple leather which I would not get again, I would get the sport seats(no cost option) and adaptive sport seats which make the seats fully electriclly adjustable

I also got standard rocker panels painted exterior color from the factory, I think I would pass on that as well since my car is black anyway...Any other color though I would get it along with front lip spolier painted exterior color and rear valance painted exterior color. It looks strange to say have a silver car and have black all around the bottom of car

The car is very well optioned as it is

Mine was $156,875 on the sticker, every option available I understand. I don't care because I'm keeping it.

 

isnt Puerto Rico a US protectorate? (sp) Are'nt Puerto Rican's US citizens? Dont they pay US taxes? Why would there be any customs or duty for bringing a car there? I know its not a "state" but...

I think I missed that day in school...

Could someone explain?

Thanks

 

yup, anything over 40 k factory sticker price is considered "luxury"

The cayenne S was around 84 K back in 04

 

were a "commonwealth" if you will, US citizens, cant vote for president, no seat in congress, not a state either..politics aside, we get screwed on the tax due to our state government, not the federal gov. It gets taxed...welllll, because they can !!

 

We don't have luxury tax anymore...

Lou

 

The price here for a 997TT starts at $300 k.

 

wow that's double where are you from ?

 

I think he's from Iceland.
