I was doing a little math tonight and if I trade in my 997S and my A3, I can get a 997TT for a couple hundred less/month. My commute is nil and winter's almost over, plus it looks likely I'll be back in San Diego, so a second car isn't necessary. My tax return will cover my order deposit...

Here are the questions:

1) I LOVE Atlas Gray, but do you guys think the Sea Blue interior works with it? I love the blue, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Black is the alternative, but I wanted something different.

2) I plan on the following options: PCCB, Sport Chrono, LSD, thicker wheel, SS door entry, sports seats, exterior color center console, alum shifter/brake, some other leather bits. Anything I'm missing or must have?

3) Should I even bother trying to get a discount on an ordered car? I am hoping my status as a 3-time repeat customer will get me some love on the trade-ins and the MSRP.

Thanks in advance!

 

i'm just thinking-if you want something different, how would a beige interior do with the atlas grey? i have red with the beige interior, and it provides a good contrast. as far as options, i would add heated seats. at least, on resale, it helps. my own personal bent is to save your 9k and not get the pccb-unless you are tracking this car most of the time, the steel breaks are certainly excellent at least. as far as a discount, why not. your 2 trades mean that it will be tougher to see what you really do pay, but if i was buying the car today, i would look for a few thousand off.

 

How about Natrual Grey? I wouldn't think that Atlas Grey and SeaBlue go quite well togther.

 

Chris, i thought you were going to trade in on that Tysons Meteor?
Also, MSRP discounts are easy to get, dont pay sticker!

Cobalt on black...

 

The "problem" with that one is that it has some options I don't really care for (supple leather, park distance, etc.).

I figure if I am going to spend $130+ K, I should get what I want.

docj - Beige is out, but I understand - the contrast does look good.

Natural gray is a good call... I might go that route. I'm headed out shortly, so I'll let you guys know what I hear.

Thanks for the input!!

 

I'm stuck on black interior...just my opinion...have fun ordering!!!

 

Don't forget to get CDZ - Gear Lever Trim in Leather. It goes a long way in tying the gearshifter module to the center console. I'm currently trying to get it because I regret overlooking this one small piece.

Get the Sportshifter too. Otherwise everything else looks great! I think Sea Blue will look good with Atlas Grey!

 

Thanks for the added options... good idea. I really think the dark blue will look good with Atlas, esp. since Atlas has some blue in it.

 

Oh I forgot about the leather sunvisors too. If you went with the stock sunvisors, it has a cheap feel/look akin to Vinyl.

 

I have seen the Atlas with blue interior before. Awesome! There is actually quite a bit of blue metallic flake in the paint. The blue interior brings it all out. I think it looks great! ; )

 

cobalt! Cobalt!

 

I am not sure of Atlas with Sea Blue, but why not settle fot Teracotta Two tone with Black dash and large leather package for the dashboarrd and aircon parts etc.

 

chris do it, get the turbo.
but i don't know about atlas with blue though. i was thinking of blue but opted against it. blk it is for me for my lowly c2s. :-(

get either blk or two tone terra as Mo suggested.
u will be happy.

so going back to san diego, when?

 

It's a tough call on the color... Atlas is soooo damn sexy, but I think putting a black interior in it is too boring. We'll see.

As far as San Diego goes, things are moving, but I don't have any answers. If I do get back there and things remain the same financially, instead of a Turbo, I'll order a GT3 in Atlas with the black Alcantara interior. It's a good problem to have!

Raja - we need to link up when it gets a little warmer - check with Seyla - we're having a meet near Reagan airport in the not-too-distant future...
