Even money - whaddya think?

2005 Turbo S cab - ~45k miles, loaded, Tip - Atlas gray
2007 C4S cab - ~20k miles, loaded, 6 speed - White

Both cars fully vetted and in perfect shape.

Owned a 996TT coupe, cry every day because I sold it, looking to take another plunge. Next time will be a cab, no doubt about it. Don't really care about the PCCBs and will not track much.

Looking for thoughts from those with a Tip Turbo S or those that moved from 996TT to a 997 non turbo - let me have it!

 

Definitely get a turbo car. You will be miserable without the TQ of an NA, especially since you owned a turbo in the past. Good luck.

 

test drove a 997 turbo tip a couple months ago that was just perfect... except the turbo lag was such a buzzkill... do love the atlas grey though -- my favorite color

 

I considered trading my 02 Turbo for a 997s a few months ago. I actually worked out the deal and spent more than an hour driving the 7s around trying to decide if it was going to go through with it ...

In the end, I opted against the 7s. The turbo is the daddy of the 911 lineup. You just can't replace the thrust of the turbo. I am certain I would have been happy as a clam with the 7 ... before I experienced the turbo.

The turbo ruins you for anything else.

I did test drive a 997 turbo today at Boardwalk. I could see myself with one of those in another 3 or 4 years, but for now it's the 996 turbo hands down!

 

Hands down the 996 turbo.. The only 911 I would opt for is a GT3 over the turbo but a regular 997 just won't do... I do like the headlights better on the 997...

 

This topic comes up every three months. If you have to think about it, you want a turbo.

The only thing faster than a turbo Porsche is a newer turbo Porsche.

 

what can you expect to pay for a 996TT 2002,03 or 04 is the 2205 Turbo S @ 45,000 miles worth paying the same price as 2004 996TT Turbo X-50 with ceramic brakes with 19,000 miles basically same car correct? which would be the better purchase?

Given a choice I would do the "S". Maybe the same hardware, but it will always be an "S". In the long run that will make a difference. Although I believe that this the only "S" to date that is not different enough...

 

Buy Mines!

 

Hey thanks for the input the 04 X-50 has ceramic as well flashed 19K miles, wheels the 05 Turbo S has 47,000 stock same price. Which one? What would a fair price be? asking 55K both any thoughts?

 

2005 real TURBO S is a rare car and holds a premium in resale at this point. This will also hold value better down the line in my opinion. It's also the last year of the 996.
