Personally, as that gap is already quite significant, I can't see that it will get any larger if you just compare similar (i.e model, spec, history, ave' miles pa) Gen1 to Gen2 cars.
How many £££'s your own 'cost to change' will increase will of course depend upon whether you end up going for a lower average mileage per annum, higher spec car than your current one rather than just a like-for-like change.
Good Luck :thumb:

Both will be a major step-up from the 996, in particularly the interior and IMHO the looks of the 997 versus the 996 too. Though I do like the bum of the 996 C4S
For me there's not enough of a difference between the 997.1 and 997.2 to warrant me splashing out but here are my pros and cons:
997.1
+ arguably better sound, just love the sports exhaust on the .1
+ more manuals available which could be a major point of getting / not getting a .2
+ prefer the slightly larger and non-LED rear lights on the 997.1
+ good value at the moment compared with the 997.2
997.2
+ better PCN interface, bluetooth and touchscreen sat nav
+ steering feels slightly better at front end
+ PDK is amazing compared with the tiptronic if that's what you want
+ DFI engine better made than the 997.1 and slightly more beneficial mpg too
I couldn't justify circa 10k to change up, but then I do know the status of my car in terms of servicing, upkeep, 2nd owner etc. A well priced GTS on the otherhand may sway me.... :grin:
Car is 3.8 C2S with 51k on the clock and full service history.
Genuine mint Condition, supplied from RSJ with invoices going back 12 years and lots of preventative maintenance. Took me a long time to find the right car and it is genuinely very nice in great condtion.
I reckon it would cost me £18000 to get in a 10 plate gen 2 C2S with similar miles and condition.

Change that '2' for a '4' and you coluld be right :grin:
I think there is a possible scenario for 997's to command higher prices than 991's....But...... you're all going to have to wait a few decades for that to happen and you're all going to have to squirrel them away in a barn with low mileage.
I can't see 'Porsche' allowing a 2011 997 being of higher value than a 2012 991, let's be realistic. Maybe in 20 to 30 years from now when they become insignificant or relevant to the likes of a future 998.2.
So here's the no brainer choices:
Option 1, drive the 911 whilst you're alive and not depriving yourself, there's 1000's and 1000's of them, they are not a flat nose
Option 2, squirrel the car and die thinking you could have driven a 911
No brainer...

The 4S already command a hefty premium hence my comment. White C4S will be the least valuable in the future :floor:spongebob squarepants said:
I do feel, looking at history that 2wd are always the more sought after for the pure 911 experience, hence the sleep tag. There is room to grow there.
GT Silver/Cocoa will be the unicorn in desirability in the future :bandit:

I do put mine away over winter but only to avoid the weather. Drive it has much as possible in the summer. I've never lost much on 911 unlike my other daily's I'm happy to loose £3k a year it's cheap motoring for the type of car it is. Good luck!
