climate control

I am always changing the temp. on my auto climate control. I'm cold in the AM warm in the afternoon etc. I consider auto climate control a BIG waste of money. Prioritize what you want. List the options with their cost and see which ones work out for 60K.
I understand that options like NAV are really cool technology and would be fun not practical.
Dream on and make the car reflect you.

Be thankful I didn't flame you for posting this question in the first place!

I want an '05 so bad I can taste it, but I simply refuse to buy a new car and borrow money to get it. This violates two of my top financial "life-principles." If I can't afford to pay cash for the used vehicle, I cannot have it. Period.

You go get yourself one though... you lucky dog.

I ordered a 987S 4 weeks ago with ful leather, heated seats, Bose with wind stop, climate control, self dimming mirrors/rain sensor, mats, crested seats, xenon lamps, nav system, and a clear bra on the nose, including destanation charges my price is just under the 60k you mentioned at 59,400. The dealer I bought from is about 100 miles from you, if you would like to talk with him send me an email. A new car can be serviced anyhere ! I for one need to buy what I truely want or don't buy at all, there seems to be something missing oherwise. Good Luck.

Get navigation, xenon, climate control, and windstop. Thats it! Power seats are a hassle, I have power seats in my other two cars, and they are just a hassle! Think about how long it takes to slide the seat forward and backwards, when you could just grab a handle and move. The xenon's turn night into day, and look really neat!

the must haves for me is the litronics, windstop, auto climate and hi fidelity stereo. If I have some money to spare, I probably will think about the small carbon fiber package.
