Apologies in advance for this really quite dull question, but I'm in a quandry. Had a gorgeous Gen 2 C2S a Year back...it was more than enough car for me, scared the cr*p out of me in sport plus mode, so I've no desire to get into turbo or GTS territory. I sold it as it was depreciating like mad. But I miss it like crazy - and basically want the same car without the depreciation woes.

So, looking at early gen 1 prices, the bottom end seems to be holding steady at about £20k for a C2S highest miler, and C4S starting about £6k more.

Do you peeps think prices are steady?
And If so which will hold its value better? 997 C2S or C4S. ?

I've never driven the 4S but here they're popular as feel safer. I also noted that 996 C4S are actually gaining in value (weirdly 996 C4S are more than many 997 C2S!) but I don't really understand why a turbo body shell would make everyone suddenly go weak at the knees??? And if it does, I'm assuming the effect is not the same for the 997 C4S which has a much more regular body shell...
Views gratefully received!

Ps...also I guess gen 1 prices reflect bore scoring risk???? But what about cars with full PSH...won't they have been checked?

Thanks cmoose....i guess the sheer number of them will keep price slowish. Any views about C4 vs C2?
