What do you think a base 997 will be worth in 2 years?
I can't afford a new 997 but will be looking for a pre-owned. I came close to purchasing a 993 from Holtmotorsports in PA (great collection of 993's). Then the 997 came out. I really loved the design inside and out. I keep cars for a long time and will need it as a daily driver, and maybe, just maybe take it skiing up to Snowshoe W. Virginia.
So I need a car that will be a little more refined and liveable than the 993. Also helps that the back seat is a little larger for our now 8 month old little man.
I'm assuming a base 997 with 19in wheels (the only option I care about) purchased for around $72,000 USD will be worth 70% of that in 2 years ($50,400). I would imagine the 997 would hold its value better than the 996 because of at least a perceived better build quality, if not actual.
That would be in my price range then...for at least a deductible home equity line anyway.
I hope a lot of people order Atlas Grey..that's the color I'm looking for on the second hand market!
Anyone know what the dealer is quoting on residuals? Are they realistic or inflated? When I bought my wifes Passat it was a rediculous quote on the lease. Very unrealistic.
Thanks and enjoy your cars..take good care of them because some of us are waiting in the wings for our turn!
