Nice car except for the chrome window trim and the rear wiper.

Window trim doesn’t stick out too bad but the wiper does!!

Window trim is easily sorted with a vinyl wrap but the wiper remains a bigger issue.

It is a nice spec, also with Sport Chrono which is not mentioned on the spec sheet. The silver window trim looks smart, matches the wheels.
But the wiper is a bit of an ugly addition. I would go and see the car to check what it looks like in metal and if it would bother you.
I suppose that you don't see it when sitting behind the wheel. ;-)

Plus it's got a roof transport system, so you can fit skis, or bikes or surfboards on the roof! ;)

Memory seats are rare and very handy if you share driving.

Sports chrono and Burmester* are both good options on a other wise lightly optioned car (*if you are a audiophile). The 14 way seats are the real take or leave clincher for me tho. I prefer the 18ways but its very personal. What works for you depends on your own physical build/comfort and if you haven't already you should try cars with both to see what you prefer.

I agree with what MCDK and Semerka are saying re the rear wiper aesthetically, but If I was using the car daily and in all weather it isn't a bad thing to have.

I think any sound system upgrade in a 911 is a waste of money given the amount of tyre, engine and exhaust noise especially with sports exhaust . I suppose you would hear the improvement if sitting in one place with the engine off but who wants to do that in their car. Far better spend your extras money making your 911 even more of a 911

^^^ Couldn't agree more Rab J!

I also agree with others that the rear wiper doesn't look good on a 911. I've found that the rear screen clears of rain water very quickly once you get moving and in the meantime the door mirrors suffice for rear view.

This car looks a nice example though with a good spec. Can't comment on the price but worth having OPC backup and Porsche Approved warranty.
