Here it goes guys...
The documentation in the OPTION part says 8 speed tiptronicS
I agree it means something else, I just picked up the car this evening and it is a 5 speed tiptronic...and it is AWESOME...
I love the car, really MINT and incredibly new! Porsche Certified.
Please see attachments for the vehicle details and pictures.
Please advise if you know what that 8 speed tiptronic S means!

By the way, I am in Queens (close to LI) in Bayside...lets meet!
Thanks everyone.

The 8-speed Tiptronic S was offered in the Cayenne from 2011, so someone probably checked the wrong "Tiptronic" box when making the options list.
Very nice looking car! I wouldn't say the Tiptronic is garbage. It may not be as fun to drive for some of us, but there's certainly nothing wrong with it.

nice!
white was my second color of choice (black been the 1st) look great!

I would do 2 mods on it:
1: change the orange markers for some transparent/smoked ones
2: change the rock gard (the yelow-ish plastic in front of the rear wheels) I have seen picture where they put it black on white cars. man, that look amazing! this mod make me re-thing about my favorite color....

now put some mile on this!
and do readings on detailing a car. so it will remain stunning for years!
again, no worries about the tiptronic, a porsche is a porsche... what ever option you picked, it is an amazing car!

Tiptronic

There will be days when you're stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the LIE and you will be thankful that you weren't able to get that 6 speed.

Took a lot of effort, however it only lasted 3 weeks of GOOD SEARCH on autotrader.com, cars.com, local newspapers (EBAY REALLY SUCKS NOWDAYS) prices are crazy, but you still can do what I did...make an offer to what you think is is reasonable and you would pay, also bid for the highest price you would want to pay and see what happens...many dealers and private sellers are asking way too much, and there is a big competition out there, so most likely they will lower the price to what is okay with you...DON;T RUSH, even if you are told that you will miss the opportunity of a great car! MANY OTHER cars will appear in a mater of a week or so, so NO RUSH.

I think my 3 weeks persistence paid off...as the asking price was 54K and I wanted to pay 46K, but finally got for 47.500 and I am happy with it.

Thanks everyone,
LCL

Thanks, great ideas.

Also, anyone knows about this NAV with bluetooth and XM for the 911 sold in California (goes in place of the original NAV-RADIO)

Thanks

I appreciate that, thanks, folks are asking around $52 for a 2008 coupe (not an S) with 20-30k miles in Phoenix which to me is about 8k too much.
