997.1 C2 Mar 06 33k miles FPSH (+ annual oil changes inbetween) OPC warranty to April 12

A change into a late 997.2 anytime now (which I reckon could cost something like £25k - £30k) versus a change into a 991 this time next year (which I reckon would cost £35k - £40k or more maybe even more then)

I do about 8k a year in it and have another vehicle so its not a must change situation....

What do you reckon?

I reckon thats only a decision you can make, im not really sure what other peoples input can add, not trying to be facetious simply think this is such a subjective point thats defined by only your situation.

I'd hang fire for a year, stick another year's warranty on it in April.

I reckon if you buy a Gen2 you'll still be looking at 991s in a few month's time.

you are probably right

I expect there are others reading this board in a similar situation and I am interested in which side of the fence they en up!

I have a gen ii Targa. But I can't help thinking that the change to a gen ii would not be worth spending 30k on now that there is a new model. You will still hanker after a 991 and the gen ii is only slightly different to what you have already...

+1.

How much money do you want to spend, when do you want a new car and which do you prefer? Only you know, unless you can share more details, in terms of what is affecting your decision?
