Hi Peter,

I came out of a 2004/54 997 C2S into a 2002/03 996ttX50. It all depends on how well you buy the car. i.e:- Price you pay and how the market fairs.

I paid circa 63 grand in june of 2006 for my c2s and sold it in feb/march 2007 for circa 47 grand.

Hope you find a decent car. Go 996tt with x50 upgrade you wont regret it.

All the best

lol slowly but carefully mate.

Just thought there`d be more opinions on this question ???

I would say there wouldn't be much in it for the short-term (say 12 - 18 months), but over a longer period, the 996TT has greater potential to be 'more desireable', thus keep higher residuals.

In the end, I would say it needs to be a balance between heart and head... considering which will hold better residuals is head, but which one you fall more in love with driving would be heart!

[Wanta996(Gotta)]

I would advise to go for the newer car everytime, 996's are looking old from the interior outwards - the 993 seemed to get away with it more for some reason.Unless someone knows how many units of 996TT were sold compared to 993 then i doubt it will go the same was as the 993 did.

I may be wrong but if you planning to keep the car and no OPC warranty is available after 9 years, i personally wouldnt fancy paying the bills if anything goes wrong. Heart and boyracer in me says the TT but brain and if it was my money would always go to the newer 997S.

[g7jhp]

996 TT gives you a bigger bang for your buck.

997 C2S is a nicer 911 inside and out than a 996.

I'd imagine there will be plenty of takers for either the 996TT or the 997 C2S, however due to the lower running costs and newer car I'd think there will be more demend for the C2S longer term.

[Peter123]

Thanks for the feedback guys

I`ve a yearning for, and probably wouldn`t be satisfied with anything but an X50, but prefer the 997`s styling.

Ouch! A £16K hit in 8 months! That's £2k per month depreciation. Is that normal?

[Wetwipe]

a lot of the depreciation has already come out of the 996 turbo. still lots more to come from the 997s

there is no point comparing 993 > 996 residuals and try to match that to 996>997

the 996 has been hit hard because of <slight> over supply

the quantities of 997s sold are no more or no less than the 996 so if you buy a desirable 996 model (turbo x50 for instance) then there is a good chance it will lose less than the 997
