Finally took the Leap....

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself, as I am a Porsche Newbie! I have dreamed of owning one of these incredible machines since I was a kid & finally talked myself into making that dream a reality.

I placed a order for a 2015 GT3 today & now the waiting game begins until March 27th 2015!!!

Here is the Spec Sheet......

991810 GT3
N4 Dark Blue Metallic
78 Lthr interior in Black/Alcantara w/Platinum Stitching
082 Extented Range Fuel Tank
450 PCCB Ceramic Composite Brakes
474 Front Axle Lift
490 Sound Plus Pkg
509 Fire Extinguisher
581 Luggage Net
583 Smoking Pkg
602 LED Headlamps
630 Light Design Pkg
643 Sport Chrono Pkg w/White face guage
671 Voice Control
690 Sirius XM/SAT Radio & HD Receiver
810 Floor Mats
P11 Light Weight Bucket Seats
P13 Auto Dimming Mirrors
P23 Porsche Comm Mgnt
XFJ Instrument Dials in White
XHM Center Console Trim in Carbon Fiber
XHN Seat Belts in Racing Yellow
XLG Storage Compartment Lid in Alcantara w/PORSCHE logo
XUB Headlight Cleaning System Cover in Exterior Color
XXB Door-Sill Guards in Stainless Steel, Illuminated
XYB Fuel Cap w/Aluminum look finish
EGA Carbon Fiber Interior Pkg i.c.w Lthr interior
CGJ Sport Chrono Clock dial in White
CPK Vehicle Key Painted.

I am really torn about the exterior color. I love the dark blue metallic, but also concerned about future resale value & how my 2nd choice (white) might be better.

Any thoughts.....???

Stick to dark blue; there will be plenty of white examples when you are selling. Better to have something unique. Plus you only live once. Get the colour that you like!

Congrats. Get what you want.
Some of the options won't really help in the resale environment however.
Did you get a commision number? March seems kinda late. Because most if us have heard dec 14 is last month of production for the 2015s gt3 ,rumor has it.

True...I did get a bit carried away with checking boxes on the option list & being in the auto industry, understand most of it has no value in resale. However, color is such an emotional thing & I love the car in both...it makes it very difficult. I have a couple days left to think before the car is frozen.

Yes, I did get a commission #A02032, so I am confirmed with my dealers last build slot (so my guy says).

Consider steering column in leather. Not too pricey as an option. Might be better than plastic.

And consider smooth leather steering wheel rather than alcantara. IMO.

Well....it's official! Dark Blue Metallic is the color! I stop by my dealer today to switch the stainless door sills w/illumination to Carbon Fiber w/illumination & let them know that I'm sticking with my 1st choice!! I can't wait to turn the ignition over for the first time to hear that 3.8L come alive. I have to say the wait till March may drive me crazy
