12 used CTT or new 13 GTS?

Price is bascially the same (95k) and same financial structure/payment. CTT is a nice build traded to the local dealer with 13K miles. No CPO but has 2.5 years of warranty which is plenty. GTS brand new. Both are white with Turbo II wheels.

This is a replacement for wife's Range Rover Sport SC. We drove both. Tough call. Turbo stupid fast. GTS quick and sounds great. Tough decision.

I agree that is a hard call.

I love the fact that the Turbo is top of the line. However, I would like the new vehicle over the used.

The GTS is a little more agressive looking, and with the exhaust open, it sounds amazing.

I really feel your pain on this one. I think if it had everything I wanted, I would most likely end up with the turbo.

Thx Mike. Agree on all fronts. New is alwys nice. Turbo is always nice.... best senario is a new Turbo but more than I want to spend for the wife's SUV. Decision, decisions......

Sports body kit that is standard on GTS is nice. Does that turbo have it?

I think the exhaust on turbo sounds better.

Some have complained on getting tired with the interior exhaust sound of the GTS after owning a while.

DMB70 is infamous around these parts
How do the options compare? At 95k the GTS probably does not have PTV-Plus or PDCC. Does the Turbo have those options? Does the Turbo have the Burmester? Does the GTS have the leather package which is standard on the Turbo etc...????

I chose a 12 turbo over a GTS. I prefer the less flashy look of the Turbo over the GTS body kit.

if it was me id get the new gts, its so easy to roll the miles on cars these days with the tech out, unless the ctt or any used car had a geniune under 4-5k miles i personally wouldnt want it. i like and always get all my cars new, i enjoy being the first person to de-virginize my cars, something just doesnt feel right to me buying/driving something thats been in the hands of someone else. hence the reason i have not yet bought a ferrari or lamborghini, i could easily have bought a second hand low mileage one by now but i refuse to get one until i can throw down 3-400k and get one brand new. but this is just my opinion, everyone is different.

The "new" factor only last a few weeks on GTS, but turbo is going to be always there

At the root of the question is the "new vs used" wildcard . A new car obviously becomes used the moment one drives it but the difference is that the owner knows how it was driven . Even in a positive scenarioI always equate the discount on a used car with the potential that if someone picked his nose in it it's not going to show on a carfax or a CPO .

That said .. both vehicles are amazing but I am reading this . If the refresh Cayenne does get PDK then it's worth waiting for . Maybe the used Turbo where the owner took the biggest depreciation hit (and where luxury has more emphasis) might be the better choice of the two.
