    997.2 options

    I am about ready to place my order for a 997.2S. I am plan to get Sport Seats, but am strongly considering going with manual rather than power seats. I have also been considering skipping Bose. (Does anyone know if the stock stereo is Bose and if the speakers can be upgraded easily?)

    I've had three other 997s all with power seats and Bose. I just don't feel like spending all the extra money for these somewhat low use items. This will be a weekend/occasional nice week day ride. I am the only driver so driver memory is not needed.  I am concerned about resale, however.

    I welcome any opinions.

    Thanks in advance.


    Re: 997.2 options

    Stock sound system certainly isn't Bose and lack of it will affect resale.

    Power seats may not be be vital for you, but again could clinch a better deal on resale.

    Just my personal opinion...Smiley

    Having sold/traded 3 previous 997's you should have a better take on this than most. Smiley

    Re: 997.2 options

    After many, many years of always purchasing audio upgrades, I, as a non-audiophile, did not add the Bose to my T4S order.  Like you, I didn't want to spend the extra money, and I figured that although someone may prefer the Bose on resale, few would actually walk away from a deal just because the car didn't have it.

    I too considered going without the power seats, but ultimately got those.  don't really know why though . . . Smiley

    If you are the only driver, then by all means go for manual seats.  If not, then the advantage of 2 driving position settings programmed into individual keys is itself worth going for the auto seats.

    Re. Bose, I had also chosen Bose for my Boxster, but this time I didn't choose it for my 997 order (and went for the Sports Exhaust instead!! Smiley).  I'm taking the chance this time, and when I heard the normal audio system it didn't sound too lacking.
