Porsches' Carrera 4 GTS cabriolet is my particular car of choice, I've had a hankering for some time now, I drove one and I can tell you it is epic. I'm thinking of buying one new (lucky boy I know) BUT - knowledgeable piston headers - What level of depreciation do you think I can expect ?

Minimum imv as the GTS's values have always been better than the standard versions.. The secret to maintain values is to exercise restraint on the configurator yet not omitting the must haves for easy saleability..
On the GTS cabrio i would pick a safe colour such as Standard white,GT silver or Agate eg..The standard 4ways are great imo and the essential heated seats are now standard.My spec would be as follows:
PDK
GT silver
RWS
Carmine red GTS interior
Heated m/f carbon steering wheel
BOSE
Reversing camera.

You can't argue with that logic! Although I'd stick with the Alcantara wheel

If you are bothered about the depreciation then get a used one, I wouldn’t dream of configurationg a car with resale / the next owner in mind, it’s your car get what you want and enjoy it.

Realistically, look at a few 1 / 2 / 3 y.o. examples of the same or similar their value and go from there.
