2012 PTTS: Missing options/price negitiations?

Been hunting for a TTS for a while now, but recently my dealer (Vancouver) received a PTTS in stock....... the options are as follows

862 - Pwr Rear Window Roll-up Screen
861 - Pwr Sunscreen-Rear Side Windws
693 - 6 disc CD/DVD changer
690 - SiriusXMË Satellite Radio Rece
682 - Burmester High-End Sound-Systm
671 - Voice Control for PCM
XAP - Sport Design Package
542 - Seat Ventilation (Front/Rear)
457 - Lane-Change-Assist / Blind-Spo
456 - Adaptive Cruise Control
425 - Rear Wiper
XEX - Bi-Xenon headlights in black i
638 - ParkAssist F/R Inc Rear Camera

Does anyone have any suggestions on missing options? And also, being in Canada, does anyone have any advice on how much I can get off the MSRP?

Also, is the missing PCCB really a must-have if I don't track it? What about for resale value? and the rims? Thanks for the advice!

Unless it is standard equipment on the 2012, you will want Sport Chrono Plus. Otherwise you won't have launch control.

I like my pccb, but they are not a must. I like the sport design wheels in black, but they are not forged, turbo 2 I think is the second best wheel and it is forged. Pdcc and sport exhaust are standard, I believe, so you have basically all the equipment you need. Good luck on the purchase.

Edit (things I forgot were optional). I have the 18-way adaptive sport seats. They are really good!This doesnt seem to have them or are they standard? In the old models they couldnt be ventilated seats.

I also like the heated steering wheel, but again not a must. For me the rear airbags were a must as I have kids. The keyless go is nice, but not a must.

Yu can do launch control without the Sport Chrono option. It's been discussed on this board before.

Thanks for the reply.. the 18 way seats are not standard, so it's basically ventilated 14 vs nonventilated 18... and the only other problem is that it comes with the 19 rims (not panamaera sport/turbo II wheels)

update... decided not to go with that car as it hasn't arrived yet... the last problem I have is that do people generally tend to order the all season tires or just stick with summer tires and an extra set of winter tires in the winter?

I usually go for summer tires and winter tires on another set of rims. The biggest difference for me between all seasons and winter tires is the braking distance in snow and slush. I was originally worried that 19s for winter tires would look small compared to the 20s on my summer tires. Both look fine.

All season tires are good for an off roader. This is a sportscar, you want 2 separate sets of wheels and rims, proper winter and summer tires for best performance and safety in all situations, preferrably n0 marked

I don't believe sport exhaust is standard on 2012 as someone alluded to above. At least not in the 2012 USA models.

In Europe pse is standard on the PTTS (serienmassig in article below), albeit it looks different (no titanium ornament) than pse on turbo...




Nice comparison ptt vs ptts:

thanks for the info.. the problem is I ordered the PCCB so the winter rims would have to be 20's as well, and that's an added expense plus in Vancouver with the weather being rainy 24/7 I'm not sure if I can utilize the summer tires....
