Love my c2s with all it quirks and na engine. It's Low maintenance, the Carrara white paint, the interior and all the bits I have added. Very happy with the power it has and really do not think I need more. But now a low mileage turbo has come into the market and I have an opportunity to trade. I keep my cars but this chance came in and I am contemplating. Only thing not too excited with the color, macadamia with beige interior, not really a sports car color for me. But it's a turbo

The only positive statement you make about the trade opportunity is "it's a turbo"...all your words before that makes me think you've already answered your question. Keep your C2 and keep looking for a turbo that checks all your boxes.

We need more details regarding this "trade".

If it is an even trade, It shouldn't even be a question.

There is of course a 40% on top of my C2S current value. Yes pdk to pdk. Turbo is full leather.

all turbos are full leather. Unless it's a smoking deal, I think you should wait to get a color you love.

I agree, smoking deal, get it wrapped, otherwise just wait until the right color/combo comes along.

Selling prices here in Asia is more than double there in the US So I just placed the %. the dollar equivalent will be irrelevant. But you right jh, we can place it about that range if in the US.

If you're living in the US, I would recommend wait for the right color/options but not too many Porsche Turbo available in the Philippine. Beside the color, the car must have the right options for me, if the deal is good GO FOR IT. Remember, do not test drive the turbo if you weren't sure about it. Once test drive you gotta have it.

Why not??
Life's too short to wonder "what if" and, at the end of the day, it's just a car. I'd go for the turbo, scratch that itch for a while, and move on if necessary.

I started my life in Porsche with a 986 base Boxster, moved to a 996 (briefly), Cayman S and just recently a 997. I typically keep my cars 2 years and move on to experience the rest. My '05 997 is a low mile (38k) and looks brand new inside and out. I'll probably keep this one a little longer.

Good luck!

The turbo hasn't sold so it lingering still on my mind. Gotgolf your turbo looks great. If it were that color I would have jumped on it already

If cost isn't a consideration, why not a GT3?
