Looks good to me. Glad they brought back the Bose option for the T. Only thing I might consider is adding the ventilated seats for 840. Main reason is that it makes the seat centers leather instead of sport tex. But if you prefer the sport tex then disregard...

I'm sure this car will hold its value quite nicely.

you have a nicely stripped build so what is the reasoning behind getting LCA?

Yep, I want the sport tex. You lose the T exclusive 911 stitching in the headrest when you get the ventilated seats because of the leather inserts.

100% Resale. The #1 question I get asked whenever I sell a late model vehicle, “Does it have blindspot detection?” Me, “No, it is not equipped with it”. Potential buyer, “Okay thanks.”

Ah, I thought that was what they call LKA. Expensive for blind spot but #porsche. But yeah that seems good to buy for resale and can be useful.

I just spent the better part of 1.5-2 hours down at Porsche as I have put somebody onto a PCNA executive car, ‘22 Shark Blue Cayman GTS manual with CF buckets that the dealer just received yesterday and the perspective buyer fell through around lunch today so my guy in Connecticut now has a deposit on it and my Porsche technician friend was doing the service on it. Über clean with 1,950 miles.

Anyways… I have always liked Shark Blue and I have been attempting to convince myself to like Guards Red so I would not have to spend nearly $3300 for a SB, but now I a totally waffling on Guards and seriously considering blowing $3270 for Shark. New build -> https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRR5BYB9

Shark blue is great but I like your guards red choice since it is a classic(and bright) color. I have been considering racing yellow if I ever ordered a T for the same reason.

I have never been a huge fan of flat reds other than Imola and Carmine is somewhat similar to that, but I personally cannot let go of $3300 for it. No disrespect FC.

I have been down to the dealership for the past two days and there is a racing yellow 992 there for service. I like RY too… I just do not know if I have the guts to live with it at length.

Guards red is a good, classic color. But I’m pretty sure you won’t regret spending the money for shark blue, either.

Probably not seeing that I drooled all over the first one in town at cars and coffee in April.

I haven’t been disappointed with this color for a second.
