987S Residuals (UK)
Took my 15 months old 987S back to the supplying OPC today - with a view to trading up to a used 911 996 Turbo Coupe, priced at Pounds74,995. The offer for my car, which cost me Pounds51,300 was....................
................Pounds35,000! Taking into account my monthly finance payments, but excluding running costs, the 987S has cost me nearly Pounds22,000! Don't let anyone tell you that the Boxster has strong residuals - or that options are worthwhile; it hasn't - and they aren't! I expected a loss, somewhere around Pounds8000 plus my finance costs - a total of around Pounds13,000 - but no, Pounds22,000 loss.
So what am I going to do? Probably sell the Boxster and get out of what I thought was a premium brand - and return to the sanity of mainstream motoring!
