Ummmmmm ...... YES

I am going to go against the consensus and say the Alcantara, although grips you better than the slidy leather, is harder to sell than full leather.

I had Alcantara in my GTS but would have paid extra for full leather as it looks better.....I know, style over substance but I have always been like that!

Personally I prefer the look of the Alcantara to all leather. Mine's all black inside - piano black trim, black Alcantara headlining, black carpets. Only the stitching is a different colour, grey-ish. Matt may make a good point regarding full leather being easier to sell: it's what I was looking for until I saw mine.

Matt, I think I agree......All depends on the car.......A big Maserati GT does seem to need leather.....but a 911 GT3 RS or track type car suits it more.....I did like the alcantara in your GT S though mate and I think it looks better if done right in the GT S than full leather but most do tend to want the full leather...

Hi all, I'm with Matt too. I've decided on full (black) leather...just waiting for the right car. I've already been in contact with Nareman at Nuvola and will contact Richard Grace too. Or indeed, is anyone thinking of selling their car??

Spec-wise, aside from Bose, comfort seats, front & rear parking sensors, are there any other must have options?

My number plate should be coming off the Z3 M coupe soon, so will be getting the for sale ad up. MAF260 - I've read an old thread that you were looking at the Z3 M a while ago, do let me know if you are interested!

 

[Felonious Crud]

To be honest, Sam, I'd not bother with the Bose as a must-have. It's not special so if find your dream car without it don't get too hung up. Comfort seats, front sensors (huge car!) and a good warranty are essential. Mine's out of warranty now but the first year was so great time to make sure all oddities and niggles were dealt with. Make sure the warranty's comprehensive.

 

[hodroyd]

I have to agree, I prefer leather over alcantara on these cars, only a personal preference and no slight on a car that does not have leather..!!
