993/996 prices - eh?

[burnt]

Okay, looking to sell my summer car and day to day car in favour of a 911. To me this is the only 'sensible' option as it has 2 (kind of) seats for the little ones, and that pleases the wife. All good so far.

And the 993/996 dilemma rages on. Should they even be compared as cars?

As a regular visitor to 911 virgin I always like tocheck out their stock I was a tad confused today:

A 993C2 96N £33495, or
A 996C2 99S £34995

Now is it me or is that not alot more for alot more?

Long term will 993 hold their value better than the 996, judging by this yes. Just wanted some other opinions.

Or I could go after that 993TT which is up somewhere for £45K,

A 20K 996 and 23K in the trade, does that mean the 996 isn't a good buy at the moment?

I presume by the earlier comments, with a young family the 996 is a better bet.

I do love the look of the 993 though...especially the wide body versions.
