I have gone to the "Dark" Side....

[tnoice]

Congrats!!! You will love that drive. I flew out to Tucson and drove it back to Champaign, Illinois. That was about 1600 miles and it was AMAZING.

Good luck and do not stop for ANYTHING in the pan handle of texas, just drive right through. If you do stop, do not watch Deliverance before the trip. Just kidding Texas. No seriously, Do not Stop!

Better yet, avoid driving through Texas altogether. I seriously dislike this state... especially the panhandle!

Congrats, and I hope you will swap out that four spoke wheel as soon as possible, which will instantly make the interior look five years younger.

Haha, thanks for the advice on the Texas Pan handle

She has 80,000 babied miles on her; the car was serviced through the dealer for everything by its original owner.


What I found surprising about the car is that it has the Traction control upgrade, which is rare on a non-C4 or turbo.

P72 - Design Package - TIP
P15 - Power Seat Package
P14 - Heated Front Seats Package
M6E - Space Grey Floor Mat
P49 - Digital Sound Pkg with 490
288 - Headlight Washers
659 - On Board Computer
580 - Non-Smoker Package
551 - Porsche Windstop (Deflector)
692 - Remote CD Changer (6 Disc)

It also has
-Memory Seats
-Cruise control
-Litronics
-Headlight washers
-The upgraded sound system has not only the 6cd changer but also the full upgrade to 11 speakers i believe and the amplifier

And many more minor options I haven't decoded yet.

My favorite option is the metallic paint to sample


Price wise I found a magnificent deal because of the quality of maintenance (the dealer just put over 4k into the car when they took it in on trade, a brand new clutch and flywheel, the 90k service was just done, new suspension, brand new tires with no miles and the list goes on and on.) records and the options/condition of the car. They had her listed for $25,900 and I'm walking out the door for $19,300 including all my taxes for both states, but not including traveling expenses


The first few things on my To-Do list are
-3 Spoke Steering Wheel
-K&N Cold Air Intake
-LN IMS Retrofit
-Cat back exhaust
-New headers with high flow sport cats
-Softronic ecu flash

all before Christmas, well... maybe not all of them. At least my family will have an idea of what I would like for Christmas so I could work on the car over the winter.



This is probably going to be one of the best weekends of my life to date, I'm afraid my face will be stuck in a life long permagrin from the drive back

Auffällig !!!

I recently crossed over myself!

Seriously, go down to your local Farmer's Market and select the biggest Russet Potato you can find. Slip it into the back of your shorts.

Just a little primer to help you adjust to the new ride!

BTW, it looks too much like a Boxster!... LOL j/k

Cheers!

That means a net price before tax of under $18K? That seems like an amazing discount coming from a Porsche dealer! Congratulations!
