Dealer to install clear side markers during prep.

Congratulations. Sewickley is an excellent dealership. Very down to earth people. I'm on, probably my 12th Porsche from them since 1979. I live in Greensburg and have always driven by the "other" (Ted McWilliams, Day, Auto Palace depending what era) dealership to buy there. I hope to be at the GP also. Maybe we will run into each other.

Do you save money by doing Euro deliver (like BMW)?

when you say fair, does that mean something other than MSRP?

Congratulations! That is not too long of a wait - although it will seem like an eternity! Nicely optioned - you will not regret spending the $$ on your pccb's. That is my favorite option above everything (except the fun button maybe).

dealer was very fair in price, out of respect to them I do not want to post a public price. If you are in the region I recommend you consider them.

Porsche charges $4K for Eurodelivery on a TT. Plus 15K deposit for VAT (european tax) refunded when you return the vehicle to shipper. Also no leases, car must be paid for in advance, I think 30 days prior.

Regarding PCCB's. I read about every thread here and Rennlist. I spent a lot of time talking to the sales manager, salesman and my service manager. We had a good discussion about plus/minus, and I decided to get them.

Thanks.

I am very excited. For years I have wanted a 911TT. I am very tall, and this is the first one I can fit in!!!
