Hi All,
I just this week became the proud owner of a 04 Plate Anniversary edition 996, its my first Porsche and I must admit to not being super knowledgeable on the brand. I am a petrol head but never paid much attention to the changing 911 lineup over the years (993, 996 etc).
I bought the car from JCT 600 so am aware I will have paid full whack for it and I dont mind that but wondered if there are any options it doesnt have that would really help it come resale (or for my enjoyment of it).
The car doesnt have sat nav and I am wondering how much of a difference this will make?
I am also wondering how much the whole limited edition thing is worth either as a premium over a similarly equipped 996 at resale or simply helping to sell the car.
It currently has 4,500 miles, 1 owner (now 2) and of course full PSH and warranty.
Have to say Porsche did a wonderful job with the colour combo, the dark grey (almost black) leather looks wonderful on the seats and dash and contrasts well with the suede(?) rooflining.
One last question, will retrofitting any other parts (interior or exterior) hurt the cars value?? was considering a carbon fibre interior.

ps. how much is it to retrofit the sat nav??
