I know but I fully intend to keep the car a long time so I went for a few things that I don’t really need like the illuminated sills, fuel cap, ioniser, ventilated seats etc.

So you think used prices for gas guzzling cars will still be strong in 2 years time? I hope you're right as I normally change my car every 2-3 yearsPivot wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:07 am I agree with Jim, if you intend to keep it, then spec with no regrets.
Having said that, I had alu-filler cap on my Macan S, and I only got to see it once a week for 5 min at a petrol station, so it is no longer on my list.
Also, @Jim, don’t get too attached, as after 2 years you will get an inevitable call from your OPC offering you a deal that is hard to pass

Today, Yes.

I suspect Porsche gas guzzlers will hold value better than other marques.
We have ageing population with disposable income; our holiday travels are restricted; we have supply chain constraints; we have agreed to green targets… odds are stacked against ICE cars, which makes it more desirable, as evidenced by insane waiting lists.
Anyway, I look forward to my visits to Goodwood and Silverstone meetings and open days.

Well I have thought about putting another deposit down when I pick the GTS up then making an decision on whether to get it or not at the time the spec has to be locked in.Pivot wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 10:07 am I agree with Jim, if you intend to keep it, then spec with no regrets.
