The plot thickens... Onward and upward as they say. POTENTIAL CPO 2017 Porsche 911 GTS / 991.2, with MANUAL transmission, sports exhaust, sport chrono... and just about NOTHING else.
Sorry, I realize this is incredibly rude to perpetuate this thread here. Somebody named "Port Hold" made me do it. Plus, you can live a fantasy through me vicariously.

Most issues with CL wheels center around convenience. Owners or Indy shops not having the proper tools to deal with them. Me, I’d love to have them. I know many folks that have had them for years with zero issues.

Agreed it's all about convenience, but having to go to a Porsche dealer every time you have to fix a flat is a pain. It's a major issue for guys who track their cars. Granted most Porsches these days are garage queens, but still, I'd steer away from them.

I do find it amusing that EVERY car For Sale discussed on RL is instantly dismissed by forum readers as "waaaaay overpriced"! I am chasing a couple of CPO's, and the Dealers are not budging. But.. There is a gattrillion 991.x 911's out there to chose from... Maybe I will find a 15-20% off MRSP that I like.
I am SOOOO bored of watching TT RS videos on Youtube, and clicking on the configuration of my TT RS spec, it is REAL NICE to have a new hobby looking for a reasonably priced 911.

So, I have heard those concerns. Anyhoo... We don't have to debate all of the Porsche things over here in Audi-land... But....

I got a chuckle today with my ga-bah-trillionith configuration of a 911.
While not apples to apples, I thought... What 911 would 'match' the TT RS I have on order? (Not that I would likely get an AWD 911.)
So, looking for a 911 with ~400hp, ~3.8s 0-60, AWD, 2+2, leather seats, carbon inlays, leather surrounds/seats with contrasting stitching, adjustable suspension, sports exhaust, LED headlights, 'stereo system', heated seats, lane change assist, automatic, multi function steering wheel, voice control, dimming mirrors...
..You know, the basics (ha) -- a typical "fully spec'ed" TT RS (minus the Dynamic Plus Pkg).
TT RS = $74,600
911 Carrera 4S = $141,610
Wow. That's pretty funny. Two TTRS's or one 911. We have some value for money over here in Audi-land.
(But, hey, still can't decide.)
It looks like our RS's will get the software update fix the week of March 12. I have until it gets here on March 17th to decide.

It's official. I am abandoning the TT RS wait. ...I found a newly introduced model, the 911 "T", hot off the boat. The buyer fell through, and it is now mine.
Don't hate. Specs = manual 7 speed, lightweight bucket seats, rear seat delete, LED lights, leather (black with red stitching) interior, Bose... and a couple of other options. Should be here in a couple of weeks, when I get back into town.
I'm gonna stratch the 911 itch for a while. I'll still have the Q7 and A4 Avant. Hopefully I'll finally make it to an RS car when the A4 Avant e-tron comes to the US of A. My TTS days were fun, but looking forward to some P-car phun.
