Options

Nothing is more personal than the chosen options. When you buy a new Porsche, the seller always asks how the buyer wants to "finish" the car. A new Porsche without options is apparently an unfinished car.

You can of course tick everything, but if you want to be somewhat sensible with your money, the question is which options are really important. Some options are overvalued, and in practice you wouldn't really miss them if they weren't on the car. But that is of course personal. A few examples.

PCCBs

One of the most expensive and coveted options, and it's true, the stopping power is phenomenal. And of course they look very nice!

But honestly, all Porsche brakes are phenomenal. I speak from my own experience on the Porsche test track in Leipzig. A driver demonstrates a hotlap with a Boxster S, and he brakes late and phenomenally. With the regular standard Porsche brakes. No problem. Unless of course you are going to brake for several laps, then PCCBs are better because they have little or no problem with fading. In daily traffic you can compare this with making an emergency stop on the highway several times in succession. Although I think you'll have other problems then.

And PCCBs are relatively brittle, so fragile and also show wear and tear. Replacement is very expensive. And they can be very squeaky. Sometimes you see owners replace PCCBs with steel (sports) brake discs. When the car is sold, the PCCBs are put back on the car. Nothing wrong with that of course. But a car with worn-out PCCBs? That's a money pit.
