997.1S vs 987.2S, which gets your 25k?
Discussion
This year i'll be replacing my 986S and will probably look to spend around 20-25k replacing it. The main cars i'm considering are Maserati GS, C63, 997.1S or a gen2 987S. as this is the Porsche forum i'll focus on the two Porsches for the sake of this post but feel free to comment on the others or make alternative suggestions.
As i see it the advantages of the 997 over the 987 are:
Performance, though i expect it's only marginally better
rear seats, though I doubt they're usable for anyone over about 8 years old?
likely to depreciate less over the next 3 years?
I prefer the looks to these of the Boxster
its a 911
Advantages of the 987
approx 3-4 years newer
less miles (compared to same money 997)
PCM3
Convertible
MPG
generally lower maintenance costs
less chance of suffering IMS/Bore Scoring, don't fancy the 5k+ engine rebuild of the 997
so which would get your 25k and have i got it wrong in my assesment of the pro's and cons?
Cheers
