Subject: Leather is $1450 - have to pay that to get Terra. Premium is $1200 more Author: JohnG : member since October, 2004 : 2481 posts Posted on: 2008-07-05 11:55:39

I'd have to get Terra, which only comes in leather. Leather costs 1450. Premium Package, which includes leather, does cost 2650, but since I woudl already be paying 1450 for leather alone, stepping up to the Premium Package would get me Bluetooth/Assist, Lumbar, Universal Garage Door Opener (a must have IMHO) auto dimming mirrors all around, and a compass in the rear view mirror, for only 1,200 more. Hence my "why not pay the extra 1,000" - it's actually 1,200 but what's 200 on a 40,000 car?

If I couldn't / didn't want to go for a full boat 3 with all my preferred options, as I concluded, I would only get Sport, Premium, and USB/Ipod. Only given more financial leeway would I add Nav, CWP, Shades, and PDC. Mostly to get more buttons :-)

If you're going for a kustom boomin stereo, wouldn't the Ski Bag be good, because you'd have a build in port from the trunk to the cabin that could be utilized with various sub setups?
