Thanks for the tips guys--pls keep 'em coming!

Yes, it's an S, and even though the print-out I have doesn't show it, I think I'm getting the preferred package plus, or something like that. I definitely do want to make sure I get the wind-guard thing (even though I prefer the look of the open space between the roll-over headrest thingies).

I am getting it from HBL, and it's a 2-year lease.

Any more thoughts/suggestions?!

Thanks,

hts

My only other thought is that you probably won't want to give it up after 2 years.

I regret not getting it

The car you're ordering is very "standard" other than the PCM. I don't mean this in a demeaning way but to infer that there is no customization in your list and I would imagine that there are many 987s on dealer lots or on the boat optioned with PPP. Therefore you could probably find one NOW, should you so desire and possibly secure a better deal on a car that a dealer currently has in inventory.

FYI, PCM, which as I mentioned is your only variable can now be retro-fitted to any model, so you shouldn't consider lack thereof to be a disqualifier when you're doing your search. I would imagine that many dealers would do the after-build install for the cost of the "part of build" option to secure your order.

Obviously there is a great deal of customization that can be done and responses to the"what do you think" question inevitably become an exercise in other 987 owners chiming in with their favorite option, which we do on this board about every 12 days.

I didn't list mine, but in terms of most value-add , my list after owning two 987s would include:

TPMS (now standard in 07)
Wind deflector
Bi-xenon
Roll bar in exterior color
Chrome exhaust tip
Heated seats

Kit that I have/had, that would not make my value-add list include:
PASM
Six-speed
Center console interior color
Bose

I have no experience with the PCM.
