I think my car is way better condition, lower miles, and optioned than these ones...

Car 1

4 are 6 speed manuals, 2 are auto. Will make a difference in asking prices.

Yours is an '07 right? Is it a 4 or 4S?
How many miles and what options when you purchased if you don't mind me asking

I expect most of those will sell for quite a lot less than they are asking, especially those with automatics and non-S models. The only change they made in the 08 Targa was the sun shade is better on the 08's (lets less sun through).

TTG is infamous around these parts
I have been in the market for T4S (or TT) and there was a really nice one located at Newport Beach.

-2011 T4S, 6K miles PDK, One owner, CPO, Sport Seats, Turbo Wheels, Sports Chorono, Sport Exhaust, Heated & Cooled Seats, Nav, Plus some excusive options & etc Nordic Red / Black Int (looked amazing).

They were asking 79K for it and the car sold with in one week. One of the best Targa's I've recently seen around.

Not sure what you can get for your car but I would hang on to it for now.

I expect that car sold new for north of $125k, so that shows the huge depreciation hit many Targas suffer from in the first year or two, which is great if you're a buyer, but not great when you're a seller. I presume the on in Newport Beach wasn't at the dealership there, as I expect the price would have been much higher there.

My Point Exactly. It was at the New Port Auto Center. Unless you are very picky, buying these things new isn't the smartest decision you will ever make.

BTW, it might have been a 2010.

Wow, that was a nice sounding car for a bargain price IMO. Targas seem better suited to the PNW and east coast I think. In the wonderful So Cal climate, I preferred a cab.
I have bought all of my cars used so I wouldn't have to take the big depreciation hit. But if someone is particular and expects to keep the car quite a while, it might make sense to buy new.

Agree. Especially now that the 991 is out.

The Targas are great in scenic Colorado!

I'm so thankful for leases, because for those who enjoy new cars, it makes it easy to get in and more importantly get out of them (if they choose) at the end of the term. For others that prefer a older model where depreciation puts the car within comfortable reach, it provides a good supply of inventory. It really is a great product that benefits new car buyers, used car buyers and the industry.
