"So you have to ask yourself, and I'm not knocking the turbo or anyone who owns one, but why would a car that was 130-150k go for less than 50% after 5 years, when the Normally aspirated are going for around 50% or more of their initial cost (depending on condition)."

the answer is there are alot of turbos out there...have you seen ebay lately. Porsche went the mass production (relatively) route and this is what happens. leased or not there are just to many pickins out there and they need to move em out

Go down to your local porsche dealer and ask service guys & advisors which car they'd rather have. Most will tell you the Turbo (for speed)...make the stretch (I did and never regretted it), otherwise you'll be trying to mod your 4S into a TT (as my TT is trying to be a GT2). GL.

Not really true. You don't really notice the difference in everyday driving (had a 996 TT about a year ago). And the C4S ist the more stylish car IMHO.

You only feel the difference between a C4S and a TT when you really push the TT. Then the TT goes off like hell. But you don't have the chance to try that out everyday.
