Hi,
Bose is your choice or not, its your car and you should spec it the way you want, if your really dont want to then dont, maybe just try out a car with either system and see what you think and then decide.
As others have said I wouldnt spec the racetex steering wheel, if you have the car a while it can look a wee bit tired. You have a great looking car, only thing I would be adding is the surround view system, I have had it on a number of cars and its great for reversing/pulling out of sight spaces, but also great in stopping your or your better half scraping those alloys. So the surround view is the option I would be adding.
Cheers GTB.

This Bose myth, which I agree with if I’m honest seems utter waffle.
Firstly how many people who find the ‘prefect’ Macan when they are buying second hand are not continuing to purchase said car when the discover it doesn’t have Bose? Perfect colour, wheels, interior, pan roof, low miles etc but sorry mate can’t buy that it doesn’t have Bose?
Yeah I’m sure someone on here will tell us it was them or know someone but what percentage of cars are not being bought in the situation above? I think the odds are in my favour here as no one will ever know the answer surely.
Secondly a lot of cars seem to be sold back to OPC’s. They’ll have your car regardless and I bet know one has bothered asking how much extra they’d get at trade in if they’d specced Bose?

Hazard a guess which of two base cars would be valued higher. The one with just Bose or the one without? It's the same with colour. Green cars will always be discounted no matter what the marque. How many on here would spec Python even if it was a no cost option?

Don’t know if that’s true but that’s what Nottingham OPC told me…

And how much extra are we talking? Does anyone know? In fact I’ll ask when I sell mine next month all being well.Bluesnose1812 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 4:51 pm Hazard a guess which of two base cars would be valued higher.

Well I’ve specced Python and I’m paying a premium for it.

Exactly - you value it highly because it is different and grabs the attention. You are paying so only your opinion matters. If you decide to sell when your doppelganger is in the market you'll be quids inPartysausage wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 4:59 pmAnd how much extra are we talking?

Thanks for all the comments.
I'm going to pass on Bose and have a good think about the racetex wheel. I might switch it for PS+ & Black roof rails.
Cheers
Gary

Now, with my Devils Advocate hat on, those that are in this position, think about about this.. If the Bose system cost an extra £250 would you add it? If it cost £450 would you add it? Probably Yes. So the hesitation is about reluctantly spending £400 extra on a Porsche for an upgraded Audio system. I personally Will be including this in my spec which "for Me" completes the package.

That’s man maths at its worst! I know what you are saying but not every dealership will offer £500 more come trade in, most as stated earlier aren’t bothered. So it’s £800 which is just not worth the money.PorscheMack wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 5:27 pm Now, with my Devils Advocate hat on, those that are in this position, think about about this..
