My same suggestion --- I've had great success on both the lessee and lessor side of swapalease.com and leasetrader.com.

You already have the wing and other aero things on the car. The $15k you would spend on a turbo/supercharge will be WAY less than the money you lose on the lease break. I was just checking the used turbos. Getting into an '07 will cost you $30k more - $85-95k. FI is much cheaper if all you want is power. It will still get better mileage than an M5 too.

I swapped my 07 997S into my 07 Turbo . Both were new cars and not leased . When the gotta have the car bug bites the financial logic can vanish . It cost me 50K to make the change . I also gota great deal on the 997S but paid near MSRP for the Turbo because no one had them . At that time they were in such high demand. I estimate his swap at 60K plus tax.

54K = 997S
100K =Turbo. (keep in mind he is looking at an 08 not an 07) .

100K -54K = 46K

His payoff is probably 72K
72K -54K= 18K lost on the lease

46K + 18K = 64K

So --he will take that 64K and negotiate and end up at 60K plus tax.

$30,000 and gas mileage is a concern? I really do not follow this logic all that well. Perhaps it is best summed up as you are bored with the C4s and want a TT. The word want costs $$ as we all know.

Have you driven the TT maybe not enough power for you?

Good luck

Perhaps a prius with a blower would be better.

Your reply was of no help. Next time please keep your retarded advise to yourself.
For everyone else thanks for the good feedbacks! I'll stop by the dealership just to see what could happen...

Lighten up Francis!

One comment is very valid...Have you driven the car? If you drove the C4S you might have noticed the car was not enough for you.

Sorry, you have no sense of humor.

Happy new year and good to luck to you.
