Help on getting new S

Hi guys,
I need opinions from the experts.
I am getting a Cayenne S.
What are the most important options the car must has?
I heard I can get about $3g below MSRP. is that true?
I am in San Francisco Bay area.
Thank you guys.

CT, go to Carlsen Porsche in Redwood City (Menlo Park). Ask for Doug Rubi and tell him I sent ya. He's really cool and should be able to help you out.

As for important options, that's difficult to say. I think if you have multiple drivers, memory seats are a must. Some think heated seats are a must and some think NAV is a must...others don't

Here is my Must list...at least what I can think of...
Memory Seats
NAV
Heated Seats
CD Changer
Bi-Xenon

Must have options:

Navigation
PASM -> air suspension
Bi-Xenon
Park Assist -> this car is not small!

good luck finding it

Thanks for replying guys.
So without PASM, the suspension will be spring?
20c4s: $7 grand off ? wow.
Itzkirb, can I really get that much?
What's your name Itzkirb? So I can tell Doug Rubi.

Tell Doug, Kirby sent you. About the $7k off, speak with Doug and see what he can do, I'm not sure. I think it all depends on the car and options.

Thanks Kirby.

Deetz: How about Xenon? If the car doesn't has it, can it be install later on? Because I checked inventory online, the car I was looking doesnt has bi-xenon.

Cool

whenI went to test drive the Cayenne Turbo and the sales man showed us the Air suspension, I thought that was the colest thing ever, kind of like hydrolicks w/o the bumping up and down.

What I saw for must have when we test drove it is

AIr suspension
Navigation
20' rims (Dubs) but if you buying the S then buy aftermarket rims
Heated seats , but u live in Cali so it doesnt get to 0 like it does here in ohio, or chicago.

That is about all i can think of

This is not foof, it is an ACTIVE suspension system that allows not only ride height but comfort/normal/sport setting choices. If you start to demand from the car, it will auto select sport until things calm down. This means the nose doesn't dive on heavy braking and the car doesn't lean out in turns. It is incredible. One bonus to this is an air inflation outlet under the passenger seat with a long hose and guage under the rear seat driver's side. This means inflating everything from your own tires after running low on sand/mud to track tires to water inflatable rafts on vacation to bike tires to air matresses camping. Those Germans think of everything, not to mention self leveling when towing.

I think it can be done, but it will cost a lot of money and it will cause alot of problem, I will stay away from it.
