991.1 vs 997.2 values

[vfb86]

Hi All,

I’m torn between a 997.2 2S and 991.1 2S. I'm a newbie and this will be my first Porsche (first car really, since my 1990 Daihatsu Cuore). The fact that the 991 is just more modern is great, but the 997 feels a bit more like a car than a spaceship which I like.

I can pick up a good quality 2009 997.2 S 60k mileage under £40k, whereas I’d have to fork out £55-60k for a 2012/13 991.1 S <40k mileage.

Now, with the delivery of the 992 in March, I don’t really want to buy a 997.2 at £40k when in 2months time, I can get a 3-4 years newer car with less mileage (i.e. 991) at £45-50k. Do resale values for the latest series (in this case 991) really decrease with the arrival of the newer series (992), or am I overthinking this?

I’d appreciate it to get your views on this. What’s happening with earlier 991 prices with the arrival of the 992?

Many thanks!

Thanks guys!

What do you think will the supply of 991.1 be in the 1-2 months with the delivery of the 992?

I might as well wait a 1-2 months and get a 991 instead of looking hard for a good condition 997.2 with low mileage and pay up for it in the end. Will this be the case or will the 992 deliveries not have much of an impact? I know it’s all speculation
