Option prices!!!

I stopped by the stealership today and was looking at new Porsches when I noticed the prices for some of the options. This one caught my eye. $300 for two little stickers!?

Why don't they take the one from the back and move it to the side for free Then maybe it could be only $150 for the other side...

it's an optical illusion.

You see $300 for 2 stickers so then $3,200 for PDK looks like a bargain.

You don't even get a reach-around for those prices.

Is similar sticker shock on the options the other day when I visited the local Porsche dealer.what crazy is that more then half this stuff you get virtually nothing for on resell. If you buy new IMO ordering is the only way to go or buy used.

And wheels painted black attracts $1,425 extra.....

C'mon, why is black paint so special - I bet the wheel suppliers don't charge Porsche any extra whether they're black, silver or pink......

Here is my $5.00 answer to the $285 option "Porsche crest on headrests". I like my color version better than Stuttgarts pressed in version.

a 986 or 986S would look nice there.
Like on the RS 4.0 or maybe the Jaguars. To make it look like seats are just for the 986 and not just a generic seat for all Porsches.
Just an idea.
