nice Cayenne yr. fills the many gaps a 2 door sports car leaves open.

 

did you order one or picked it up from a dealer stock? if you picked it up from a dealer stock, lucky you. most of v6 stocks that i've seen are fairly economical.

 

You are correct . In fact all of their V6 and even the V8 on the lot were rather basic . My guess is this might have been an ordered car that fell through . It was sitting right on the showroom floor . I've seen other cars heavily optioned like this in the many years of buying them .Sometimes a shopper goes overboard and then changes his mind.

My guess is the reason why so many of the base cars are modest is that they lease better . Optioned cars more often are purchased .

 

Larry,
I think you made a wise move and agree, you'd want a 991 Turbo when they come out so wait. I've gone back and forth between keeping my 09 Carrera, all blacked out with 10,500 miles , or going with 991. I've decided I'm going 991, have a pretty heavily optioned black on black en route. Full leather, sports chrono, 20" sport wheels with fat 305 rear, 7 sp manny tranny. My 997 is PDK, as much as I like it, for the little I actually drive it, the 7 speed will be a blast. I also have the exhaust option to change exhaust tones..........I would have liked an S but can't justify the additional $$$.
I'm waiting for a ship, going on vacation out of country on June 3rd, hope to get her before........

 

I had the same 10K miles on my white 09 car . If my 997 was my only 911 and if i didn't create a specialty car with my Turbo I probably would have bought the car .I am told taht the 991 Turbo is roughly two years away . By them my Turbo will have more miles and then i will make a decision .

In the meantime I am so imprssed with the Cayenne . This is a totally new experience to have an SUV and its just so comfortable and practical. the fact that its a huge 2 ton monster yet has Porsche attributes has just blown me away . I had driven the previous gen Cayenne as a loaner but the new one is light years better .

Best wishes with the new black 991 !! If the car is a 2013 I think it may take a bit longer than June . My build slot had become available but the 13 car order had not been placed yet . My 991S would have been a 2013 car.

Mine is already built, waiting for a ship- 2012. I'll see you around the neighborhood-Hammock Creek exit 102 area............................
