Any advise would be much appreciated, having decided to sell the Ultima for something more practical I've decided to add a newer porsche to the 1979 Targa I have. The problem is too much choice, so out of the following which would you be inclined to go for, if any, or any better suggestions?

Or, I know of a 54 plate 996 Turbo S with 24,000 miles on the clock, one owner about to be sold for the same sort of money.

The 997 looks very expensive.

Probably the GT3 for me. I've had a 996TT X50 and the GT3 is a much more involving car. Personaly would be in Yellow or Red for me though smile

For me the best insurance against depreciation and a bloody good drive would be the GT3 smile

The turbo may have a little more straight line speed and will probably be a little softer but after the ultima you may prefer the firmer ride.

The GT3 would be my choice too, but as already mentioned, perhaps not the best colour.

Turbo S is a tempting proposition.
From a non depreciation pespective a GT car is the way to go obviously.
Its the not the way to go for your everyday transport though.
