First Porsche w/ a question!

[Pat1USMC]

Hi,
Just wanted to say hi. Purchased a 2003 Boxster S with 33,400 miles this weekend and loving it so far. What a great car!
Does anyone know if dealerships will do cruise control installations? I don't want to mess with the electronics myself. I called the dealership in Charleston and I received no callback after calling twice. I was a little surprised about that, as I was expecting Porsche service to be better than most.
Thanks guys.

Pat, very nice car! Welcome to the Forum.

??? Are you saying your car doesn't have cruise? I think that's std eqpt.
It's on the bottom stalk on the right side of the steering column. The button on the end activates/deactivates.

Regarding a call-back, I'm not surprised. If it sounds like you're interested in buying a car from them they're likely to call you back. If you sound like a tire-kicker looking for info, not so much.

Congrats on the new S and welcome to the forum. I love Charleston but I know you have to be hot down there!

Thanks for the replies.
No, mine doesn't have cruise control! I couldn't believe it when i figured it out. I didn't even think about it when I was test driving it because I figured all Porsches would have it. I guess we'll see if it can get installed if i ever hear from them again.

And just drive to the dealer if they don't answer the phone.

Great color combo!

Don't know if cc can be installed but that is the least used option on my car. In the 2 yrs I've owned it, I've used cc once. Have opportunities to use it, just love driving the car myself. Something to consider before dropping a bunch of $$$ into it.

[Pat1USMC]

Very true. I just find that it helps me from speeding and helps out with gas mileage on highways. And on long trips its definitely helpful. I'll see i guess.

I have CC in my 99 but it was a $400 option. I would look for a local Porsche shop for a quote. Our local Porsche dealer in Mechanicsburg is a rip and they are rude on the phone if you did not buy from them.

I would expect around $500-$700. Not sure if it is worth it as I rarely use it although mine is a garage queen and rarely on the highway for any length of time.

Yes they can add CC and yes it is expensive.

Good luck on the ride, NICE!
