discount on made to order

I had 3300 off on made to order last December (before any 987's were on the lot). Maybe you can do better? My MSRP was 49500. Good luck.

My 987 will come in about a month. I heard that you can get headache from driving with top down in highway speed for a long time. Any truth in that? Any experience?
