Why Turbo S prices dropping? Or is the Turbo the better 'value'

Why Turbo S prices dropping? Or is the Turbo the better 'value'

Seem to be discounted more than I thought. Looks like I can get one of two near $150K.

I know the performance is only a minor improvement over the turbo. What are turbo buyers liking here? The standard or S? I like the PDK, so I'm not after a manual.

I have a '06 4S.

When is the new 911 coming?

Thanks

I am not sure when it is coming but after the recent R & D numbers I am impressed. 0-60 in......2.6!!! 10.7 1/4 mile!!! That's insane.

Get the S. All the goodies like PCCB, dynamic motor mounts, torque vectoring, PDK, centerlock wheels, and more are included in the package. You're a lucky guy, wish I could buy one.

If you like the PDK and can get both for around the same price, this is a no brainer. Get the S. As the other posters have said, it pretty much comes with all of the goodies. Only reason to get the Turbo is if you wanted a 6spd manual or there was/is a significant price difference. I have also been offered discounts on S'. You just have to check around. Good luck in your purchase and post up pics when you get one.

The S may be better suited toward a future "exclusivity" investment.
Minor changes otherwise.

I was hoping that besides getting the best of everything, that I might be able to stave off the depreciation but to an extent through the limited production.

Wait till the 991 Turbo comes out, then you'll see a serious drop!
