997 turbos look offered?

[chumley-warner]

Not wanting to hijack the GT3 vs RS thread.

LOts of turbos on the OPC site with pretty good specifications not shifting, just wondering about my new on order a whether the time when it arrives, these cars will be trading around 85k with say 10k miles? Am I looking to buy a new car which no-one wants?

I assume you want it! If your looking to make a profit, or not lose much money do what most folk do with Porsche and buy something you maybe dont want!
Sad but true....

Suits me sir!

Yes I want one, I like the idea of a new one, but I don't want to take a bath on it (or in it) either.

I can keep the current one as long as I like waiting for prices to dump and maybe pick one up with a great spec - I don't care if it has miles on it, I will put plenty on it anyway.

I just see a lot of cars for sale between 90-105k with very similar specs that are not selling.

Well I bought a new 997 2s in March 06 no regrets at all, I do intend to keep it long term though, maybe upwards of 5 years so I really dont care about depreciation.
If you buy new the pleasures are worth it..its your car! You know its history etc etc etc.
Listen it took me years to break free of the " am I doing the right thing" Just do it enjoy it for what it is a great car!.
Your a long time looking up at the lid my friend! Good Luck..

Personally, if you are happy to, I'd wait, used TT's are getting real & the depreciation will set in as ever. I saw the same with the 996TT, prices were list or over for ages, then they slipped a little so I jumped in & got a low mileage, high spec 8 month old car at 15k under list, it still dumped another 35k over 3 1/2 years so about 10 k a year, the 997TT will be the same!
Saw one in Polar Silver today, looked great!
