997 Turbo: Wait 1-2 Model Years?
I have found this Porsche forum highly informative with the give-and-take lively but civilized as I eagerly await the 997TT. Similar to the comment made on the thread re. buying or renting/leasing a 997, with the suggestion to wait for an '06 or '07 to presumably "get the bugs out" of the 997, would anyone make a similar suggestion for those of us who can't wait another month, let alone another year, for the 997TT?
For the 996TT, were there gremlins and other bugs the first year of production that were rectified the next MY? Or do we think that Stuttgart has its act together this time round with the 997TT?
For me, I have saved the dough so leasing with extra interest payments is not necessary, although the comments re. hedging one's bets with a lease in case of a lemon were an interesting point. At least in the USA, increasing interest rates and flat stock market returns in my view make leasing less favorable from a $ standpoint.
This may all be a moot discussion for me, though, since the waiting game is Chinese Water Torture. . . .
