I am currently in the market for a 12-24 month old 997 gen 2 C2S in Aqua Blue with a budget of £50-60k depending on age due to finance company (car can't be more than 6 years old at the end of the agreement - in return I am getting a rate of 6.6% apr which appears competitve). Ideally I would like to buy through an OPC. I have a number of questions and would welcome some input:
Prices - the prices on the C2S's appear to be holding up at the moment as the effect of the new 991 hasn't been felt yet. Does anyone know when people are starting to take delivery of new 991's in the Uk. This in turn will no doubt increase supply and soften prices?
GTS - At present, prices are around £65k+ do you think prices in these models will come down sub £60k when the new reg arrives in March + 991 upgrades?
GTS - what is the difference between the C2S and GTS. Is it worth trying to stretch to one of these? I am looking to use the car for an everyday commute and then occasionally use to take my two kids and wife away for the weekend - is this practical? I understand I would need to buy one with the optional rear seats to accomodate the kids.
What do you think I would currently get for £50k and £60k?
Tyres - what mm of tread do brand new tyres have?
I am in no rush to make purchase as am concerned any car bought today will depreciate at a greater rate than at current as the 991 effect takes hold between now and April next year then will flatten out again to a normal level - do you agree?
I look forward to some comments. I will no doubt have more questions and really appreciate the input as I try to find my dream car.
