Morning all,
So, here's the dilemma. Do I sell my Gen 1 997 2S or keep it? I've had it for 6 years and enjoyed every minute of it, but i find recently i'm hankering for a change.
Now comes the issue. I don't want to spend ridiculous money on another car <45k, i also now have a young family. We also have a larger car which can transport junior and all his junk about which is absolutely fine, but as my 997 is an 05, I'm hankering after some of the creature comforts that you find in most other cars (decent blue tooth!)
After racking my brain for what seems like an age, the only car i keep coming back to is a B8 Audi RS4 Avant. I've been to have a look at a couple, but wondering if i got one would i regret it. They are also due to be replaced soon.
I also fancy something bigger, but there's a part of me which says 'Don't sell the 911 you fool' Do i just get something bigger but cheaper and keep both? I don't do a huge amount of miles, so thought that was a bit of a waste of money.
My other thought is depreciation.. Have Gen 1's balanced out now, will they ever appreciate or is it a slippery 996 esq slope for the 997 Gen1?
Finally, the last and very dubious thought was to keep it and give it to my son when he's older. (he's 1.5!) But will he want a very old Porsche in 18 years or whatever!
The car in question:
