Just sold my awd non P and bought a Performance. I originally got a $1080 inventory discount for a 300 mile P but was re-matched with another P at the last moment with 60 miles. Not sure why I was rematched but I think it was because I removed autopilot at checkout which the original one had. They honored the discount. I took delivery of the P today and it was mostly good aside from minor cosmetics. It was most likely a showroom model. The center console was smudged and slightly scratched. The rear seat bottom was unhooked on one side with the seat belt catch not feeding through correctly. My passenger was unable to buckle up earlier. I can tell they removed the seat bottom to apply product to the seat. There were three minor scratches on the front bumper that I'm sure can be buffed out. The rear lower trunk liner was deformed which I had no idea how that occurred. There was overspray on one of the door jambs. What annoyed me most, which again is minor, is they must've used a lot of detailing products in the interior as it smells overly fruity. The new car smell which I was looking forward to is masked. Also a bit surprised the Performance badge was not included as my earlier build awd had the DM badge. I took home delivery today but I'm going straight into the SC tmrw to document the issues. I'd say overall, the discount made up for the imperfections and I'm most or less satisfied.
Some things to note. The P was built in December and the fit and finish is a step above my November awd build. The doors felt noticeably heavier and didn't take as much effort to shut. The trunk also felt heavier and was easier to shut. Even the turn signal stalk felt stiffer when flipping. Interestingly enough, the ride height at least visually appears the same. I had the 20" sport wheels on my non P and the wheel gap looks identical to me. i think the 1cm "lowered suspension" might just be due to different links and the upsized wheels. Top is awd non P. Bottom is P.
