Well, decision has been made and the deal done...
Ordered the Carrera S for March Build. Decided not to wait for the base Carrera.. why?... well, the cost didn't work out all that different.
Final Man-Maths for a new Carrera as a daily driver:
From the previous posts; total cost of all servicing, tyres, Insurance, tax, tracker etc etc for 3yrs / 50,000 miles came to £7k. (I say 3yrs, as the car wants for nothing until sept)
From purchase price and trade-in part-ex valuation deal, depreciation was £20k. Pretty good residuals for 2.5yrs 50k miles on a sports car. Add a bit for interest payments on the VWFS and thats the job lot for daily driver 911, rain or shine, snow or sun..
Lots of smiles per miles... Bargain 911.
Whilst the new S is priced £10k+ more than the new soon to be launched carrera, the residuals GFV works out similarly high, so cost per month for the PCP isn't all that different. Allowing for 3yrs of inflation, it worked out the same monthly payment, for the next 3yrs of 992 Carrera S Daily driver. A few more toys, and extra 50bhp top-trumps stats.
Going to be mixed emotion dropping off the 991.2 and picking up the 992. The 991.2 has been truly incredible and chuffed to bits i took the brave pill in buying one as daily hack. Cheaper to run than many other sports cars for sure, imagine the equivalent maths in an M5, an Aston, an R8 etc.!!!
