Full Leather or not.

I searched so if this has already been brought up, I did try to find it.

I'm planning on getting my 1st Porsche within the next 6-9 months. I. gonna wait to see the refresh 1st.

I have a question, I've seen the full leather interior and like it, but is it one of those must have options. I mean if I'm looking and the car has it cool, but if not I could live with that also.

What are some of your opinions concerning it.

Definitely get full leather, the leather covered dash is worth the cost of admission alone.

I agree with Robert, full leather is beautiful!

I have heard that it does nothing for the resale price on the used car, so if this is a short term (3-4 years) perhaps consider the cost. If money is no object then I say go for it!

if i buy a car in the lot that's without it it's ok but if i order it then it's a must have. for 911 at least. if a Cayman probably it's ok without it too. full leather is nice.

While standard interior looks very nice, the extra touch of the full leather is wonderful. I never get tired of looking at it. It is like an additional touch of class.

On ordered cars its always a notable metion and IMO a great option to have. Honestly though we sell about 80% in standard trim..... It wont do anything for resale. With that being said if it dosent matter to you spend the extra money somewhere else.

When I was looking for a car full leather was a must have. It may not add to resale, but if you go to sell your car yourself it makes it alot easier than cars without it. It adds a touch of class that all 997s should come with.

I got full leather, leather roofliner, leather sunvisors, leather dome light surround, leather rear center console and I love it, I feel like I'm sitting in fine furniture and the smell alone is worth the cost!

I think looks amazing, and I was heart-broken when my car didnt come with it. I located it across the country and it had all the cool goodies i wanted (PSE rocks) and i overlooked the full leather by accident.

With that said, I have had the car now almost a year and I love it. I think its still gorgeous without it so its not a HUGE deal...but if you can, get it with full leather.
