I'm currently looking for a 997 Turbo and have been looking at Gen 1 Turbos. Now I've been offered a Gen 2 Turbo with PDK, very well spec'd and I'm just wondering should I go for it?

Obviously all cars are going to depreciate but are Gen 2 Turbos likely to be very bad depreciation wise? The fact the Turbo S is out makes me think that Turbos might depreciate quite badly.

Would I be better just going for a Gen 1 Turbo at say £70k?

Thanks

Thanks for the help.

I agree you can get a Gen 1 Turbo for £60k but it's finding one in the right spec. As I said I'll be using the car everyday so I don't mind paying a bit more for the right spec.

The car I've found is just under £70k, it's a 07 plate near enough perfect spec for what I'm looking for and has low mileage.

The Gen 2 Turbo I've been offered has 2500 miles literally the perfect spec if i was to spec it myself and could perhaps be had at a bit of a deal.

So the general consensus is that the Gen 2 will loose a lot more then? I probably will be keeping it say a year or 2. What is everyone's opinions on what both cars will be worth about that time?

Thanks again.
