It was the same on my previous 3 911's covering 911, 964 and 993 variants, that's just the way it is.

My car search has ended. I've found a nice 997.2 with the options I like and a price I can live with.

2011 C4S Basalt Black 43k miles

Options:

345 Heated Steering Wheel
421 19" Turbo II wheels
446 Full Color Porsche Crest on Wheels
541 Ventilated Front Seats
640 Sport Chrono Plus
803 Interior Package In Carbon
845 3-Spoke Steering Wheel In Carbon
AT Black Full Leather
P35 Comfort Package
P36 Infotainment Package
XCZ Sport Shifter
XLT Sport Tailpipes
XMJ Center Console In Carbon
XSX Seat Belts In Guards Red
XYB Fuel Tank Cap In Aluminum

Clean Carfax 1 owner car. Found out it was owned by GE executive. It was leased to him by his company. He traded it in for a new one when the lease was up.

PPI came back clean with all service records. It still has the original warranty on it 8 months or 7k miles.

DME report:

Range 1 190/1145 hrs
Range 2 15/1145 hrs
Range 3 0/0
Range 4 0/0
Range 5 0/0
Range 6 0/0

Engine Operating Hours 1200.94 hrs

I put a down payment on it and expect to have it in my hands soon. The dealer is prepping it as we speak.

I was looking at the option codes and noticed 030 Sport Pasm -20mm at no charge $0.00

Is there a big difference between regular PASM? If it's an upgraded option, why is there no charge?

Maybe the guy negotiated for them to throw it in for free, as part of the deal? It's probably just the way they work it in, a lot of mine showed $0.00 for the upgrade charge on the admin sheet, also.
