Question for you guys, i am torn on between what i want to do, looking to add a car.

the cars i have are in my signature, heres my dilemma. i am looking at either buying another 930 since there values are sticking and rising or a 997 2S/4S. I have a RR SuperCharge that i drive everyday/everywhere. The two 911's i have i put maybe 500 miles a year on them each if that. If i buy a 930 it would be the same, a weekend joy that i probably won't lose a penny on when i decide to sell/trade. Or, i can by a 997S and flip/flop between my RR and 997s since it is easily a DD

Thoughts?

 

depends if you want to buy a car to drive or speculate an investment in?

 

997S all day. Get a 2S coupe with a stick and the right options and you shouldn't feel much of a loss when you go to sell, either

 

2nd that.

 

thanks. so the price on the 997 2s/4s are holding value, any issues with these cars?

i had a 997tt and liked it a lot but have never owned the NA water cooled cars, all i have owned are turbo cars

thanks

 

The NA cars from 2006 and up are just about as sound as you could ask for. Any 997 with a fresh serpentine belt and water pump is gonna be good to go!

Based on your post, I don't see why you'd get yet another air cooled just to sit around when you could actually enjoy DD'ing a 911. The 997 S is an amazing machine with DD capabilities as many people here do drive theirs daily.

As far as pricing goes, if you stick to a gen 1 model with lower to mid miles, you should be fine as far as resale goes. The 997 S models pretty much tend to plateau in the low to mid 40's with decent mileage and in good condition.

I bought my .1 2S with 39k miles and now have 45k. I am sure that in another year with 55k I will be able to get out what I paid. Just make sure you get a good deal and take excellent care of your machine

 

997 prices are still going to drop. If you're looking for an investment... the 930 is probably a better bet. If you're looking for something to daily... and don't mind losing value, i'd get the 997. At least you'd drive it.

 

I had the same dilemma but the the combination of my desire to drive it often, wife drivable (hence PDK), and reliable/relatively fast track car, I ended up with a 997.2 base carrera (much cheaper than S, lighter than S, slightly less hp but made up with less weight), currently with 21k miles.

 

do what ever you want. but don't sale the 930 :-)
