Will the 997 hold it's value better than the 996?

in the uk, you lose about 8-9k (that's british pounds!) in a year on a 997S now so it's just as bad as the 996 anyway. Obviously if you buy a 996 now e.g. a new 996 Turbo, it's going to depreciate faster than the speed of sound, possibly light....

My fear is we're on uncharted waters. An old 997 may cost an impossible amount to keep on the road because of the massive amount of electronics. This would make the car less desireable.

Too many 997's in the UK and a depressed luxury/sports car market means these things are going to drop quicker than Jordans knickers on a page 3 shoot.

I now have just over 25,000 miles on my 2005 Carrera S (launch car so it has everything including ceramics). My dealer says it's worth about $58,000 on trade.

Jordan would never do that!!!? Not for The Sun anyway! She's like really classy and would only do such things for lad mags like Nuts...
I really haven't seen that many 997s on the road in London (trust me they grab my attention) !? There are many more 996s and Cayennes around tho...

Furthermore, If the 998 and subsequent generations are too aggressively futuristic, the 997 will be recognized as a true modern classic; ranking just behind the 993.

In the US it appears dealers price 997 cars based on mileage (1K miles = $1K off MRSP) plus how well its been maintained. I try to not think about it to much and just enjoy the car. I knew going in it was the dumbest financial move I've ever made, but my passion for cars ruled the day.
