Replying to: msabba (Oct 09, 2006 7:27 am) Sorry for keeping you in suspense. And the answer is.....C2S..... with a large dose of frustration for the dealer having wasted my time. I had pretty much decided on the Turbo, but was getting nervous about the delivery date slipping (now mid November). I asked the sales manager to see the actual order documentation / verification from Porsche. As it turned out, the incoming Turbo does NOT have the optional sport chrono / overboost option. I had asked that specific question at least twice when we were going over the options. Shame on me for not figuring out that the MSRP I was being quoted was about $2,000 too low. But no real regrets. I still hadn't convinced myself that the Turbo would be a good daily driver. And, after complaining to the general manager about the stupid mix up, he knocked another $1,000 off my car. Which should be in this Friday (yes, the 13th). P.S. Can someone tell me what would possess someone paying roughly $45k more for a Turbo over a C2S to NOT check the $1,840 sport chrono that provides overboost from 460 to 505 ft lbs of torque? Not to mention faster throttle response and firmer braking. That's unbelievable. |

| It will be a sin to order a turbo without the sports chrono so you made a good move walking away. | |

redsoxgirl, I agree with W210, you did the right thing on passing on a Turbo w/o sport-chrono. I asked my dealer about it and he said he was unaware of any Turbos that had come in without that option in his entire region (Northeast). My dealer would not order a Turbo without sport chrono without at least a $10k non-refundable deposit. It will be hell to re-sell if the orignial buyer walks. porschetarga4s, It sounds like you've ordered quite a car. But I hate to burst your bubble, that is not a very good discount. There is at least a 13% dealer mark-up on the car and options. My dealer indicated that he would give an 8% discount on such a car, which would work out to $10k. If you are so inclined, ask Don at Bruce Hornish to give you a better deal. With all of the options you are loading up on that car, you deserve it. Also, just curious, why $125k for a Targa 4S when you can get a Turbo for $130k-135k?? Even the future Turbo Cab should only come in at around $140-145k

Replying to: habitat1 (Oct 03, 2006 10:07 am) Redsox girl: Congratulations on your decision! Even though the Sport Chrono was not an option, I believe that you would have thoroughly enjoyed the power of the TT. But as an only car, I believe the storage limitation would have been a sore subject for your ownership period. I, for the first time, jumped on it, from a standstill 1st and second gear, shifting out of 1st at about 5700rpm on Sat and..... WHAT A THRILL!!!! Obviously, I have never experienced this kind of power before so it was quite exhilarating! Perhaps I should try Willow Springs after the break-in!?! |
