Deposit down on 992 Gts, wise move ?

[maxtennis]

Well finally committed and put down the deposit on a New gts!! Hoping it’s base price is around £105k so I can add a few options but can’t help thinking that the new Hybrid 911 is round the corner and this may be a unwise purchase depreciation wise ?
What does everyone think, a gamble or safe bet ?

Why are your Centre taking a deposit for a car that is not release as yet with No idea of costs nor release date

Guess You’d have to ask them ?? Porsche Guildford .. They told me that release date would be end of March , so I guess we will see ....

Not sure, but having been thinking about doing the same thing myself, I reckon the new GTS will be 110k-plus base myself - insofar as the difference matters at that price!

Hybrid 911 incoming might actually help - last of the non hybrids and thus notable for that?

Yep , that’s what I am hoping for but not confident ...

The last few Gts’s have all been around 10k more than an S , so I was thinking 12-13k more his time but you may well be right £110 would be stretching me a little as pretty sure I’m going to want 4-5k of options , fingers crossed !!

Depends how unique they make it this time. Centre exhaust, decent whack of extra power and centre lock wheels as a minimum. As you can now add so many options to a 992 S to make all the other elements the GTS usually has already.

They normally throw in Pse, sports body kit , Pasm and sports plus seats as well .
Hoping in a few weeks it will become a little clearer

Well done. The 991.2 version is brilliant so hopefully moves the game on. I don't think Hybrids will arrive anytime soon for the 911. Even if it does, I won't be in the market for one (unless it has zero BIK and I can buy it as a company car )

Cheers , I was sorely tempted with a 991.1or 2 but just could not find the right spec in manual so decided to go crazy , I will of course be £25k poorer but u only live once !!!

Probably for the same reasons most other centres are. I have a deposit on a 992GTS also. Looking at the targa myself.

Congrats OP.

Exactly !!! Did the same with my Macan Gts last year, at least 1 month before release my Dep was in ...

Targa eh, very nice , silver of Black side bars ????

I have a deposit down for a C2s,with the understanding that it will be transferred to a Gts.
My dealer is telling me that gts announcement expected end of June.

Yeah my dealer told me yesterday , that now expected release June ?? Fingers firmly crossed !

Whilst I don’t want to lose my shirt, the residuals aren’t really part of my thinking. I have a GTS now and love it. Took me a little while to really fall for it but now I am smitten!

T versions of the 991 are lovely too so fair to assume a 992 T would be a nice thing (especially in yellow) but I like my creature comforts!

I am another with a deposit against a car that will be transferred when the GTS is launched. I’m going manual this time.

Yep a T would be an option but nobody really talking about them yet and already desperate so will stick with Gts , DEFO manual !!!

Not really on topic but just to say my Gts is in the showroom and due to collect next week ..!!! Anybody got some sage advice on the best Outdoor car covers as the car is gonna spend this winter out there as my garage is outta use till spring , thinking about buying Porsche own brand but feel specialist cover makers maybe be better , any help greatfully received …

Thanks
