Yes, I am new to Porsche and still learning "the ways." I am finding that reselling a Porsche is high priority and weight savings is not at all. I guess when I switched to Porsche from BMWs, I thought more would care about weight. I was even thrown for a loop when I first started to look at Porsches, the salesperson kept talking about resale value non-stop and I asked if I could get a different one that would relate to a performance enthusiast.
Yes, the radio does not add a lot of weight and it would make little difference in the 4.0 which is already heavier than the T. I was not against adding the subwoofer, amp and extra weight for the radio if it sounded a lot better. Buying the T and trying to keep it as light as possible is what made me stop and think about options. I would've added the Bose if it sounded significantly better, but it didn't to me. I also would've added the much heavier 18 way seats if the 2 ways were uncomfortable, but they 2 ways were great. I did add the larger, slightly heavier tank, because that did add value per pound added to me. So just wanted to make sure that I was not against adding any weight, I was against adding weight blindly without thinking about it. That's all. With that said, there are about 3 of us left in the entire Porsche community that probably still care about stuff like that.....I just wish I could find the other 2! : )
Yes, if resale ease is a high priority, then I agree, it might be quicker to sell especially if you get a common combination where there are many like yours and maybe Bose might tip someone to yours or they might put Bose in the search engine.
Anyway, the poster asked how we arrived at the decision so I shared it. Hope it helps and if anyone knows the other 2 guys in the Porsche universe that care about keeping cars light, focused on performance and simple, tell them Inigo Montoya is looking for them......not to kill them... I already took care of the six-fingured man, just to chat!
Best wishes.
