:hand: Temptation. Get thee behind me :grin: As we go into the New Year and if I haven't found anything for Monaco I might have to get desperate and have a GTS then. When will they fall out of bed pricewise :dont know:
mmmm not sure, I paid £55k for a high spec one last feb from OPC Leicester with effectively a 3 year warranty. Granted I picked up a bit of a bargain :grin: but I could not buy the same car today for that price nor have I seen an equivalent in the past 6 months. So for me it would cost me more to buy the car than it would have 6 months ago.
My total cost of ownership comment was primarily based on depreciation. I think the 981's will hold value due to the NA engine. Thats more than just emotional I'm still convinced someone driving a 718 v 981 back to back will always choose the 981. The only benefit a 718 has is a new car option. When that option is second hand v second hand the 718 is even less appealing. Thats why I think 981's will relatively hold values well, especially "holey grail" S's ie PSE, PASM, Sport Chrono. The GTS is a guaranteed holey grail spec and as per 997 will just hold better than even a good spec S. So yes you will pay a premium for a GTS but you will get that back in terms of less depreciation than an S. Its not even man maths, its as much of a sure thing as you can get with a car.
Convinced yet :wack:
It is the most fun car I've had this site of a Ferrari but without the downsides a ferrari has not least public reaction to it :wink:
Believe me in the real world joe public have no interest in 911 v 981, the 981 looks better (especially in GTS spec) to most than a 911 because it looks more like a ferrari, ironic isn't it :floor:
