Looks like this one has shed over £30k in the first year, good buy for someone?

If it's 17 months old, then it's dropped by c.16% p.a.

Is it really that cheap? At best, it looks reasonable, no?

The next few years will not be kind to it.

hmm. quick bit of bad maths means estimates that these'll be around the 50-60ish mark in three odd years. Good for used buyers, bad for original owners

I admit I've not been following the 997 turbo S prices that closely, but is it really a surpise that they are going for a figure that is double the cost of a standard turbo?

I read that the next Gen 991 Turbo (2013?) will be positioned quite a bit further upmarket - closer to Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, etc. Let's say £150k+?

For those who want a more affordable Turbo, used 997 Turbos should still be popular, and the 'S' with all the options and prestige will no doubt remain the one to have. So, I'd expect the biggest fall to be in the first year or two, then flatten out, until 991 Turbos start falling in value.
