Just had a Macan S diesel loaner from opc as 997.2 being serviced and 2 new rear tyres. I knew these get rave reviews but what a machine. Simply astounding combination of performance economy comfort practicality. To make matters worse the wife and 2 teenage daughers loved it as well. So what the heck life is short ...i'll chop the 997 for one for a couple of years. Er maybe not. Trade in value offer brutal. Engage a specialist to buy 997 instead. Identical £ number appears. Webyanycar wee bit worse (but not much). 14 months and 2k miles resulting in a £10k hit. So not happening .... was just a thought. Not in the least troubled at the drop BUT am very surprised. Anyone any thoughts on the seasonal effect on price (assuming there is one !). Maybe £+3k in spring time ?
