I haven't quite decided yet. Was thinking maybe 55% on the fronts to match the rears and having a clear tint on the windshield just to cut down on the heat.

 

Congratulations, enjoy in good health, Agree with RAKLAW no need for the bling

 

Interesting. That does not explain a 2 month delay. Maybe dealer sold your initial build slot to someone else?

In any case enjoy your car. Did you get carbon fibre door sills? That is what I am planning to get in mine to go with the black/ red/ carbon interior.

Please post more pics if you have time.

 

Have you ever driven the standard turbo? Was the "S" option worth the additional $ in your opinion?

 

I'll answer. Had a 2013 CTT . Factory ordered a 2014 CTTS . Yes there is an obvious power difference in all gears. The S is a SUV rocketsled

 

For me it was a little hard to discern as I was only able to gauge from the test drive at the dealer and none of the dealers locally had a Turbo S to compare with. But now having driven the CTTS this past weekend, I can definitely say no regrets!

 

Nice. I see that you also used an auto broker. How did they do for you?

 

A buddy of mine referred me to Cartelligent and I can safely say it was a pleasure to deal with. Personally the part I hate about purchasing a new car is the haggling part. Cartelligent takes a flat fee so there isn't the worry of them running up the price to get a better commission. Also there was never a case of trying to sell me on anything I didn't ask for.

I ended up getting 6% off a custom order. When I called around to local dealers in the SF Bay Area, I was either told nothing to maybe 2%. The only knock I have against Cartelligent was their financing service. They were suppose to help find the best rate, but it seems that they left it to the dealer. I ended up finding a 2.13% rate through BOA, which the dealer matched. I know there was a better rate through some other places, but I don't qualify (PenFed, Navy Federal Credit Union).

All in all, I will probably use these guys again when buying my next car.

 

Yup. That's been the auto-broker assisted purchase experience of many. I agree that it certainly makes the purchase experience less painful.

I suspect some brokers share in the economics off the financing, which for many stealerships, is the true profit center. The auto brokers offer little transparency in who gets paid for what.

I did notice a new competitor in SF - http://www.buysideauto.com - their advertised competitive edge is a promise is to not get sketchy on the financing. I want to try them out for my next purchase this year. It's good to see some competition among the brokers. This space is ripe for some innovation.

 

Congrats again! We are hard at work with your car!

 

Thanks for the updates via pictures! Keep them coming!

 

Beautiful!

 

The windshield's getting worked on tomorrow. Spectra PhotoSync 75 Nano tint. Here's what to expect for heat rejection on the windshield with a BTU meter test:
