Noob Questions.

I feel really stupid for not knowing this (and I think I know the answer already), but did the pre-LCI have any LED's at all? If so, was it an extra? (lighting pkg).

Also were the vibrating seat thingy's available for pre LCI 7s?

Thanks!

No LEDs on pre-LCIs in the US.

The "Vibrating seat thingy's" are the Active Comfort seats, and yes they were available on pre-LCIs. I had them on my 2011.

Thanks, also because the price of a certified 11' 7 and my F10 are pretty close, Do you think its worth it to upgrade? (Need more luxury?)

As long as its certified and has had the updates done on the N63, go for it. Get rid of it as soon as the warranty expires though.

Well something I was thinking of is waiting a year or so for the 2013's to drop a bit more and then trade (with some out of pocket cash too, of course) my F10 for a certified LCI. Sound smart?

Thats definitely smarter. Then you get the LCI, with the TU motor and the 8 speed.

Its the active seat. The seat has air bladders in it that randomly inflate and deflate. Its supposed to keep you more alert and reduce pressure points. It kinda feels like the seat is groping you.

Not sure if you'd have an estimate on the price/depreciation of em over the next year?

Not sure. They just took a big hit a few months ago. I'm expecting a fairly large hit again when the next generation comes out.

Should be close to that. Depends how the market reacts to the new ones. If they sell and review well, the F01/02 prices will be much lower than if they don't sell well and get ripped on by reviewers.
