Dealer called me and wants 5k deposit instead of 1k deposit to take order if the car has PCCB, carbon and X51 option .... and still will not discount .
The problem is that PCCB and X51 are options which aren't actually in high demand. So if you back off, your dealer may get problems to sell this car.
People should also be aware that you NEVER get the PCCB/X51 value back when you want to sell the car, resale value is almost the same like on a "regular" car without PCCB/X51.
At least this is what happens in Germany but I doubt it is much different in other countries. People who buy a used 911 want to own one, they don't care too much about technical details or enhanced brakes/more power. And whoever has money...buys a new car ordered to specs.

Was getting this on a C4S cab while I waited for the release of the 997TTS cab , but now the resale of the car a year later is reason for a little concern . It is like get these options now and live with it and pass on the turbo or pick up a striped down car for the Turbo wait . Those of you like yourself that already have a 997 I would say just keep you car and wait it out for the 997TTS ...... but how long will that be a year or more especially if you want the cab . What I can not believe is there is almost no discounting on these options .

I read somewhere that Ferrari is negotiating with the union to get them to work on weekends.
I read that too. The next stage of the negotiations after that will be to try to get them to work on weekdays.
Of course this is all tongue-in-cheek. . . .
Or is it tongue-hanging-out-of-mouth?

Of course it is!
Nick's line reminded me of the old joke:
"How many people work in your company?"
"Oh, about half of them."
I just adapted it a little.
