- What is the difference between .40 and .50? (435) both are leather embossed, but what justifies the .50 increase in price?
- What is the difference between .41 and .51? (460) both are plain leather, but again, what makes .51 cost more?
I'm wondering if the price variation has something to do with the "thicker" option that BillK mentioned above? |
Hey Blitz,
Here's a breakdown of the options shown in the list above hopefully it will clear some stuff up for you:
435: Sport Wheel (Round airbag. I don't know why the .41's and .51's don't specify being a sport wheel, but they are).
480: 6 Speed Manual Transmission
249: Tiptronic Transmission (hence the higher price on the .50's and .51's).
460: Premium Leather (Touch + Feel Package)
None of the wheels listed above are a thicker XPA wheel, just the sport wheels (round airbag as opposed to standard wheels, with the triangular airbags). The XPA (thicker sport) wheel part numbers are 997.347.980.00 + color code. When looking at these wheels in the catalog, "480" is still manual transmission, but now "432" is Tiptronic (with a corresponding ~$70 price increase for Tips).
I hope you're not more confused than you were before!
