I know a guy who has a nice side business "flipping" new desirable Porsches... I vote that option.

 

Guys I have been telling you a Turbo S was coming.

Interesting to see how the "shortage" of new turbos is already moving prices for used turbos up.

Just reseasrching my trade-in value. I bought my used '08 tt with 9K miles last June for $98K retail. Current trade-in value for "good" not excellent condition and now 18K miles from KBB is $94K, retail it shows $108K. I doubt any of these values can acytually be achieved int he market but none the less it is a lot more than I expected.

 

Oh! I am in same situation and I refuse the Turbo go for Turbo S instead.

 

#2 option sounds right......

you can always buy a second hand Turbo for the 2 month wait

 

I heard it was 520 BHP and will come only with PDK and Ceramics, and cost a LOT more than the normal Turbo. It will of course be the new 9A1 DI engine and not the old M64 GT1 engine.

 

I had same dilemma. I have a feb build or i could have got a may build for an S. I opted for the feb build because 1) i couldn't wait, and 2) these prices are getting ridiculous. my turbo cab spec'd out to $167k (w/o ceramics). while no pricing is out yet for the S, to spec it the same would be $20k more I believe, for which i would be getting 30 more hp and ceramics. for me, not worth it.

 

There is always something new and better on the horizon.

Enjoy the moment.

 

^ Exactly. Whenever you buy a car you know that they will bring a new model/variant out which is faster.
If you decided to do any of those 3 i would go for option 3. Who knows who may not like the Turbo S as much and who knows it may cost 10-20 grand more.

 

If you are going PDK and PCCB, definitely hold out for the Turbo S, or try to pre-arrange a swap.
