Looking to sell my 996C4S and trade up to a 997 (possibly Turbo), will I gain anything financially on waiting until next year when the new model is released? Guess the residuals of both will be hit?
:sad:
In your situation I'd resist going for a 'cooking' 997 now unless the age/mileage/condition of your C4S means you really need to change to keep you in a 911.
You might still get a decent price for your C4S but any ordinary 997 is on a steep depreciation curve which will only get worse when the 991 comes out. The 'cost to change' probably won't be much different if you wait until next year but the cost of the 997 will be less so you'd be less hit when selling that.
As GT4 has already said, a 997 Turbo would be a whole different proposition. Firstly you'd be getting a whole different car not just a newer version of your current one. Secondly, residuals will surely be better. The downside of course is how much more a similar age/mileage/condition Turbo costs to get into in the first place.
Good luck in your deliberations. :thumb:
