New Carrera -V- Carrera S

Which one will be the better seller at resale? I'd say the S, but there must be a lot of buyers who could only afford to buy the basic model secondhand, what do you think?

I think I'd rather not discuss it.

Sadly the 997 3.6s track record is not promising. Some dealers don't even seem to want to sell a non S 997.

The 991 3.4 looks as if it may be a different proposition though, running cost (fuel, insurance) look like being a bit less, but its still very surprising how many UK buyers think 350bhp/180mph is somehow not enough.

Hell, I'd buy the 3.4 and enjoy the idea of £10k I didn't shove straight onto Porsche Gmbh's bottom line.

The 997 C2 was a poor buy as by the time you factored in the bigger wheels, PASM and a few other bits that were standard on the S you might as well have spent the extra 1-2k and get the higher power S

The 991 decision will depend on how much more the S is over a non-S plus the extra spec
