Just Bought a Turbo Did I do Ok

Just bought this Turbo. Got it for 130K after some Negiotation. Only thing missing is Burmiester Audio which I realy wanted but has everything else.
I love the color inside and out. Got a good price on my trade in as well Lexus LS460 (2008). Didn't want to deal with the recall which will require the Engine to be Pulled out.

JAX GT3 is infamous around these parts
Looks Great

You got a very good price!!

My TURBO has similar options.

In particular, I love the Carbon Fiber interior, the ACC is wonderful for highway cruising.

I keep the seat ventilation on one bar since I am in Florida!!

Read the owners manual, cover to cover. You will learn a great deal. The PCM manual is pretty useless. PCM is best learned 'on the go'.

Enjoy!!

Thanks Makes me feel better thought I got a good deal but wasn't sure. They are bringing it up on their private truck and taking the tradein Sunday. Got appts for the Clearbra, Laser Interceptor installation and V1 installation. Anyone Know if the Cheetah Mirror will work on this rear View Mirror?

I've never owned a sports car. So I really have to read the manual. Can you control the Spoiler some how or is it automatic?

Opinions?

Here goes with my Opinions!!

Clearbra is a waste of time and money. You can respray a front end, as needed for same money and looks better.

V1 should be hardwired into the fuse box on the drivers side. Leave enough extra cord so it can mount on either side of the rear view mirror. Dealer will charge ~1 hour labor to install wiring. Generally they will expect the owner to supply the installation kit, available from V1 online (includes proper size fuse and installation instructions. Your dealer will have done this installation many times!!

Spoiler can be controlled manually from the center console, never done it. Don't know the details.

Cheers, JohnnyB

All my cars get Clear Bra. I have LAser Interceptor Quad Laser Jamming system. V1 is hard wired and through blutooth connected to Cheetah Mirror which has GPS chip. You can set it to stay silent at speeds of less than 35 or 40 or 45. It works well.

My local Stereo Shop installs my stuff professionaly. Got a quote for the Clearbra at $1650 for entire hood, Bumper lower aspect of the doors and behind the rear wheel. Also side view mirror and Lens.

I have the same setup in my wifes 2010 Mercedes GL350 Blutech. We love it.

Congrats! Beautiful TT. I used to live in Rochester and believe the clear bra is a must... The roads are littered with either gravel in summer and rock salt the other 6 months out of the year. The spoiler automatically deploys at 50mph, IIRC. You should be able to deploy it manually @ speed lower than 50 using the button on the console. You cannot use the button to retract it at speed though. Enjoy!

clear bra for sure! It's time to clear out the '10's and alot of dealers are sitting on their butts only offering 10% off. I think we are going see better and better deals on the remaining Pan's of all varieties! Thoughts????
PS the deal on the Pan S I was looking at fell through because they were only offering 5k off. I am going to get something and soon!

You are right! I have to say that they should become aggressive, we are almost crusing towards the end of 2010.....

Thanks its on the Truck will be delivered By tomorrow eve. I was disapointed in no Burmiester audio but unless I was willing to order I couldn't get every single item. I start of looking at 4's then 4's then the difference was only 15K so I said makes no sense.

I'll be honest: I personally wouldn't touch a Panamera without Burmester.
That said, you got a KILLER deal!

Gotta be Honest With you I really wanted the Burmester but I couldn't find a Turbo in this color with all the other options I wanted. When I went to oder my custom order they were saying 4-6 Months. This Car has everything I wanted except the Burmester - I wouldn't have bought it except for the great Price. The Bose is not bad and I would say on PAr with the MArk Levinson on my LS460. Still No Burmester. So each PErson HAs to make the best decision for themselves. I drove it for the for the first time today and boy it scars the crap out of you the power this thing has. I love it.
