#774 of 2048 How to clean the suede roof of a coupe? by obliviousr Jun 13, 2006 (12:21 pm)
The Suede roof of my 996 Carrera 2 coupe smells a bit funny and needs some good cleanin'. What can I use to clean it short of taking it to get detailed?
#775 of 2048 Re: Aftermarket warranties???? [spclst] by rayng Jun 15, 2006 (4:12 pm)
Replying to: spclst (Jun 09, 2006 7:06 pm) You may try to sell your car to a Porsche dealership, have it certified, and sell it right back to you. Prices are negotiable and not all dealerships will do this for you. But a CPO warranty with proper history and documentation will respected by other P-car enthusiasts.   While there are aftermarket warranties, I'm not aware of any that are actually recommended by other porsche owners. Why not registering and searching p-car forums like rennlist or renntech?
#776 of 2048 Re: MY FIRST 911!!! Radio question [spclst] by rayng Jun 15, 2006 (4:28 pm)
Replying to: spclst (Jun 09, 2006 7:01 pm) Congrats on your purchase. Do you plan to keep your car for a long time? If not, reselling a heavily modified car will hurt resale values. For many enthusiasts, adding a touch screen will detract from the value of your car. In page 102 of your owner's manual, PAG says "a vehicle is not an ideal place to listen to a radio." High ambient noise--particularly in the cab--will drown out the benefits (detail and imaging) provided by a high end audio system.   The best way to enjoy your sports car is to track it.
#777 of 2048 It is here! by hotrod88 Jun 19, 2006 (11:26 am)
I've been following this forum for a few months now, so I figure that it is only appropriate to say, it's here! Carrera S, Atlas Grey, blk std leather. It just came off the truck - went to look at it while it still had the protective wrapping on it. Will pick it up at 9am in morning. Beautiful car. Seems that mpg has improved alittle. Also, the turbo no longer has the gas guzzler tax - looks like they improved it's mpg too. 4 months of waiting are over....finally got to see it.

#780 of 2048 Porsche owner satisfaction survey? by dweiser Jun 20, 2006 (3:22 pm)
Gee, why don't they post requests like this at 1:59 PM PST/4:59 PM EST? I mean really Edmunds/HOST, I just saw this at 7:20 PM EST. Some of us actually have lives and don't log in here until the evening. Would at least one day's notice be too much to ask? It's too bad because my new Porsche is presently at the dealer (again) for (more) electrical problems. Replies to this message: kying (Jun 20, 2006 3:36 pm)

Replying to: dweiser (Jun 20, 2006 3:22 pm) dweiser:   YEAH! Tell them about it! But then again I am used to it: my bosses always tell me right about now (4:30) that they want something by 5.   Condolences to your new p-car, dweiser. I hope it gets well soon. We have put just a little over 1000 miles on our new C-4 in 2 weeks, and it's been so far so good (actually it's been great!).   By the way, I found out we needed to take it for a smog check before we could register in California (we bought it from Phoenix). Even the mechanic who made our money doing the smog check said our "great state" is totally stupid.   kying
#782 of 2048 How Am I Doin'? by blckislandguy Jun 20, 2006 (6:51 pm)
How does this sound to the board? I am interested in an '07 C4 with terracotta interior, power and heated seats, zenons, rear wiper, floor mats, and Porsche crests on the wheels. (Rationale: Don't need an S or Chrono; 18" wheels will have a better ride; may keep the vehicle a long time, hence want a great interior ( the terracotta); don't need leather seats because with terracotta the seats supposedly come with terracotta leather; the Bose is overated; I live in New England hence the AWD, rear wiper, and heated seats; zenons because I'm on the wrong side of 60, etc,)   The vehicle would have an '06 MSRP of 83K (as I recall; my notes are back in the office). They would give me 2K off '07 list when it comes in this fall.   How am I doing? Any thoughts on my options?

Replying to: blckislandguy (Jun 20, 2006 6:51 pm) blckislandguy:   Go for it!   The Bose in our 2006 C-4 is the best we have had so far (we had Bose in our 2001 Audi A4 Avant and 2001 Audi TT). It is significantly better than the "Hi-Fi Sound" ($830) in our 2004 Targa. But you are right, it is still not worth the $1390 price tag.   We love our C-4's 19" wheels. They look great, and its ride is actually better than the Targa, which only has 18" wheels. (2004 Targa only came with 17" wheels, 18" was already an option).   In CA, heated seats and rear wipers are not needed, so we don't have them. But I can see why you want them in New England.   Don't forget the seat package if you share the car with another household member; it's great!   The only things the Targa shines over the C-4 when parked side-by-side are the colored crests on Targa's wheels. Vain (according to habitat1) but significant (here's an oxymoron!).   $2K off list for an early arriving 2007 is an amiable deal for both you and your dealer. Enjoy the ordering/purchasing process.
