I got mine as a daily driver so my priority was connection with the road, not lap times. I ordered a base Cayman and eschewed all of the electronics that help the car lap the Nurburgring as quickly as possible. I didn't get PASM, PTV or Sport Chrono. And, most importantly, I didn't get PDK. Also, I like my neighbors, so I didn't get the extra-loud exhaust. I really liked the looks of the 20" wheels, but when I test drove a base Cayman with the 20" wheels on rough roads, the ride was pretty jarring. The 19" wheels rode better, but I decided to stick with the 18" wheels and upgrade on my own, if I want to. Oh, and I got the extended range fuel tank, as 14 gallons of gas is just too little to have as a daily driver. The one option that I didn't get that I wish I had was Lane Change Assistant. That was an oversight on my part. I have it on my current car (Audi A5) and it is a nice feature to have.
Dealers in the Los Angeles area are dealing. According to my contact, Porsche anticipates a glut of 718s in 2018 as demand has not met supply, so they are trying to move product. That being said, even though I ordered mine (delivery 12/17), I got just under 9% off sticker.
