Just found out (probably old news here!) that Porsche will now put a warranty on a car upto 15 years old (previously 9).
I own a 997.1 TIP Turbo (2007) that I have always slapped an OPC warranty on for peace of mind. I'm happy with the car but I was planning on selling this year a few months before my warranty expired (in the summer).
Given Turbo prices seem to be around what I paid for the car (2.5 years ago) my plan was to pay another 5k ish and move back\forward into a lower mileage 2010 gen2 997 PDK 4S. My brain is telling me that is a good move, and of course I would've been avoiding a potentially costly bill should something go wrong with the car without a warranty (I've had about 5k of work covered under warranty).
Now I can extend the warranty. Woopy! How does this effect the market? Are 997.1 Turbo's likely to remain at this price point? I'm currently over the moon in the fact that I haven't really lost any money on the car. Should I hang on in the hope prices may go up? My car has done 60k which I know is highish........
I guess bottom line is this.......Getting your crystal ball out, in 2 years time would a 2007 Turbo be worth much less than a 2010 997.2 4S??
Many thanks!
