My opinion -- Keep the car rather than take a loss . Get the full use out of it because two years from now if the car has 42K miles your loss won't be as large .

yrralis, I think you are quite right in your assessment of my car. Now I regret specifying the car the way I did but it's too late for that. I think I'll keep it then for at least 2 more years and maybe then, once it's out of warranty, add a limited slip diff or sell it, if its value hasn't plummeted to the ground. My only regret now is that I also own a 1987 3.2 Carrera with 85k miles and it's in awesome condition with many upgrades, including an AC that needs to be turned down in Florida's Summers, and my son just asked me last night "daddy, why don't you sell the 3.2 and the 997 S and put the money together and get us a 997 Turbo?" I know I would have to come up with the difference in cash and I don't want to do that right now because of uncertain times, as I don't have any car payments at home at all!
