Help, it's decision time!

Hi all. Need to make a decision by tomorrow morning: Do i go for a new 997TT, tip, or an '05 997s Ruf R Kompressor. The latter has 16k miles, and is fully optioned out with ruf bumper, rear wing, wheels etc....With equal money down and the same lease term, the TT will be 1868/mo and the R kompressor, 1477/mo. Thanks for all your help.

997TT, the Ruf Kompressor is a great car but no match for the true dry sump 997TT. Plus the Ruf is used (?abused??), the turbo brand new.

i agree with chris. in addition, why would you put any money down on a lease?-it makes absolutely no sense. lease the new car, the used one has been beat up.

Unless by 'money down' you mean paying the tax up front, that I have done.

You are always going to be faced with decisions like this and I know you want to hear the opinions from folks on the board but at some point YOU are going to have to make the decision - it's your money and it will be your car no matter what other people think - take the Nike tag line to heart - just do it!!

BTW - according to the Ruf website the Red Baron is sold so if you wait long enough you won't have to make any decisions.
