Tail pipes were an upgrade, based on the pics posted totally worth it!

I have a 2011 C2S silver color purchased at rusnak westlake and it has the 911 badge but I was not charge with the badge it must be a dealer incentive. Congrats on your purchase. She's a beauty!!

Yes. I believe so. Necessary with the XM satellite I imagine.

She Has Arrived!
I know that I am new here but I just had to share that my Black Edition Coupe made it to the dealer today! The last seven days have been excruciating. I am hoping to pick her up tomorrow, feel like a kid the night before going to Disneyland! Will let you know if I make it through the gauntlet of "extras" that the dealer will force me to listen to.
Cheers!

Actually that is exactly what my husband said! Good advice though, thanks!

Congrats. I also got the wheel and tire protection package from Autoknight and based on my past experience, I will never need it. On my first Porsche, I averaged one non-repairable flat every 3 months so I got the same coverage on the next car, a BMW, and never had a flat for the whole 7-8 years I drove it. I guess the insurance coverage has its own protective effect/spell.
BTW, how much did you pay for the tire coverage?

After much research and decision making, it was nice to finally pick up the vehicle this weekend.
I can honestly say that I am happier now that I have had it for 24 hours than I was before picking it up (at all levels...no post buyer's remorse).
First, the one thing that continues to delight me is the number of typical "options" that Porsche included in the base package. What I can tell you is that there are items included that don't even show in the standard package on Porsche's website (eg. NAV module, XM Satellite, and Bose Sound 12 speaker sound system).
Second, it is just a really beautiful car that is fun to drive. I don't necessarily mean out some back road where I could crank it up (I wouldn't yet as it only has 35 miles on it), but just the simple trips like going to the local bagel shop or weekend party with friends. Still getting used to the wind deflector though.
The most amusing part of the process was when I went in to drop off my check and pick it up, the meeting with "the man" (aka the business manager). There was really nothing else for him to do, but, have me sign some documents and give me the keys (they wanted me to finance with PFS). As a result, he began his pitch on the list of high margin add ons and services that "I may like".
After 15 minutes of my life that I can never recover, I ended up getting the full clear film "bra" (lots of new road construction in my area) and the tire and wheel protection warranty (prior experience has shown me that this pays off at least threefold based upon my Cayenne).
All in all, money well spent on a vehicle that I will enjoy on weekends (and the occasional spin into the office) for years to come.
Again, thanks to all for the insights. Will post pics soon. - Sprtan (#390 of 1911)
