Although I hear 996 turbo owners did not like the 997 C2S as much as their car after test drives...
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello 911 nuts..I have a 993 C4s and was thinking of moving to a 997 CS, but wondered whether to wait until someone else has taken the depreciation hit and spend a couple of years in a 2 - 3 year old 996 turbo as they seem relatively good value and free of the initial depreciation hit. Any thoughts?

Sounds like a very good plan to me! Although I hear 996 turbo owners did not like the 997 C2S as much as their car after test drives...

depends if you want to pay through the nose for a new car!
996 Turbos and Mk1 GT3's are becoming good VFM, 993 is still the car to have though

aye.. 996 turbo is the one to get (only 996 I would want)..
esp at they are starting from the sub £50k... price bracket..

Well I know it's a nice dilemma to have, esp as the 993 4S is such a beauty, but we have to move on...the 996 turbo is the only 996 that's rung any bells for me but I've yet to drive one. I've heard they're almost TOO perfect - can this be true? Has anyone out there made the same move as I'm considering...would love to hear from you!

sounds like the right move up the porsche ladder..
as IMHO as the std 993 v 996 are very similar in terms of performace... you are only really changing for say style / practical / age reasons, etc, etc
although a C4S does look & sound tempting (esp with the sports exhaust !)
a turbo = the right move into 996... to justify losing the air-cooled legend.. so what ever you loose out on being air-cooled you gain in extreme 'modern' performance....
so does that makes sense (?
Migration info. Legacy thread was 21453
Yep, well it seems to make sense to me. particularly if you look at 993 turbo residuals; if the 996 turbo holds its value as well as that, it does seem like good vfm to me!
It'll have to be good to cash in the water cooled legend, mind!
