Thought you guys might enjoy/be shocked by this, the most stupidly expensive car options -

http://www.carbuzz.co.uk/blog/post/A...r-Options.aspx

£11k for a sunroof

 

22k for satin paint, a body ahop will do it for 5k!

 

some insane stuff there!!

 

It might be expensive but at least you get something for your money except with Porsche. I really dont understand why you pay £1500 to pick the car up yourself. Anyone know why?

 

cause the factory is not in the uk and its a "trip" to collect your new car where you learn about the car ect,,,,,, you dont get a coach there, pop into reception and the girl on the desk takes your debit card then hands you the keys and says " its outside on the right, pop in back in 6 weeks for a free first service"

porsche aint the only company who offer that option either

 

So it cost you and saves them even more?

 

...do mean that the £1500 goes towards paying for hotels and crossings etc?

 

I know someone that took the option to collect his R8 V10 from the factory. Most of the extra cost was involved in registuring it in germany, providing Road Tax for germany for 30 days/what ever they have over there, the export docs etc and then the cost involved of sorting it again once it was over here in the uk.

He had to pay for his own flights and accom, He did get a full days tour round the factory which took up someones time. Think it was £550 to collect from factory for him. not bad when the car was £120k after he added alot of extras

 

personally i would take the option but then i like the tours of factorys as i get them a few times through work, best one so far was a tour of a company who makes porsche exhausts which had a museum to show the exhausts and the noise difference on a computer screen BESIDE EACH ACTUAL PORSCHE with one fitted to it

in the VAST workshops and warehouses they had they had full blown workshops with old porsches being restored as the owner plans to own one of each porsche model from the beginning and build a bigger museum including the first electric porsche vehicle that he made a replica of ALL BESPOKE and even a porsche tractor

best weekend in denmak i have ever had so HELL YES that is a option i would love to take if i bought a new car of my dreams

who here wouldnt pay money to visit prodrive factory ?

 

That is pretty cool.

 

Hard to believe that there are 'options' that cost more than a highly modified classic or newage impreza,more money than sense if you do and are able to buy them.

 

ps: anoying i dont have the picture of the other side of the museum which is just posches on my laptop , sort of a fail pmsl

 

there is meals that cost more than people spend a month on a morgage and people spend hundreds of thousends on diamonds that in reality do **** ALL and are no different to cubic zirconias for the actual USE with the job they are bought for,,,,,,, but it still happens
