I thought I'd post my dilemma and see what comes form the forum wisdom
I've had a 993 2S for 4yrs. I want keep into the 993 ownership for a little while yet but I'm thinking it may be a better option to trade it in for a 993 turbo.
My preconceptions are
1) that the 2S may be a more engaging drive vs the turbo
2) but the turbo will likely appreciate more for when I want to get something else
I would be interesting to see if there was consensus around driving pleasure and future values and how many would change or not.

I may be wrong but I thought that actually there are less 2S's than 4S's
I wouldn't consider that though as they are too similar. I also think the 2S and 4S are about the same price and on the same trajectory.

As an owner I would be guilty of possibly overvaluing mine so not a good indicator.
On a generic basis however, looking at the classifieds, I think there is a 30k to 40k spread between the two. Of course depending on mileage and condition and also taking out the very low miles X50 Turbos that are nearly twice that spread.

Thanks for all the feedback. Very helpful and somehow re-affirms some of my thoughts. I am leaning on keeping it.
Speed is not important for me, just driving pleasure. The financial consideration is a factor as I think the turbo may perform better .. but again risky as you say.
On the other had I have known my car from when it was 12months old as my best mate owned it from then until i bought it from him. Complete OPC history and no issues which is also peace of mind vs buying something new!
