Talking Picking up my new 987

I'll be picking up my new 987 after 5 months of wait.
Any advise on what to watch out for? Does it come with 2 keys? Any rattling prone areas that I should check before I pay? Does it come with front license bracket installed? etc... Thanks in advance!!

Def. comes with two keys. If req by law, the plate holder and plate should be affixed by your dealer.

Dunno on the rattles.

Best of luck with your new ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With any luck your dealer will not have put on the front license plate and you'll have the option of whether or not you want those holes drilled in the front.

Congrats! Take pictures. What options did you get?

So far I think I might have a small rattle from the passenger door, but I can't tell for sure. Other than that, rock-solid.

You might want to check the battery cover though--it's not a very well-made piece and its a little bowed on mine at the edges--looks sloppy. I looked under the hood of others on the lot though and they all had the same problem to some degree.

Oh also, they forgot to poke the hole in the carpet for my floor mat peg--you might check that before driving off.

Options & front license

I got Tiptronics, heated front seats & power seats (Red/Blk/Blk). (Options heavily influenced by my wife who doesn't like sticks). I'm in CA. If I remember from driver's license test that I took about 15 years ago, front license wasn't required. Did it change?

Thanks

Yes, CA requires front plate and will ticket you if you do not have it. The dealer should mount this for you free of charge.

Best of luck!

Does the 987 not leave the factory with mounting holes for the front plate? I believe they would since front plates are required in alot of European countries, plus several other places in the world. Personnally, I hate front plates and I am an outlaw for not mounting mine I guess Just picked up some bumper plugs to plug up the holes.
