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

    My mechanics tell me the 996 is the better built car and more reliable car, by far.

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

    RR4, can you share more of the insight on the reliability on the 996

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

    From everything I've heard the TT is a beast great but vvv quick - suggest if you go that way, be careful not to overdo on the throttle until you learn more about it. Never fancied a cab myself so can't comment - the driving experience is bound to be less pure (apart from the sound, wind in the hair etc).

    This sounds like a great topic for RC - Mr TT himself!

    Enjoy and good luck whatever your decision.

    SoS.

    Please elaborate. A better and reliable car comparing to what? 993 or 997?

    The 996 was built in a time whe Porsche was in a more difficult situation and had to cut some costs in the 996 such as the Boxster front. The 997 comes in a totaly different time for Porsche now, its has more reliable engines (its the same ones as in the 966 but with 6 years of ironing out all the problems and imporved), has a much better chasis (improved, more rigid, much better performing), and is clearly better built and quality inside. You can say the 996 was the beta version of the 997...

    I would keep that particular mechaic who said something like that away from my car if were you BTW

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

    I remember the old days when Porsche used to proudly proclaim that they always tried to make one car less than the market demanded. Long gone.
    But mine always seem to depreciate quite quickly even then!
