Been offered an early slot on 718 GTS 4.0 - now, do I keep the 992 C2S or go for one of these!

I’m tempted and I love my GTS but I think with a 4.0 N/A this could be quite special. With a GT3 at your disposable I wouldn’t hesitate

I think the 4.0 718 GTS is a very tempting proposition, but it depends on how much you’d lose on your recently acquired 992...

Wasn’t that long ago they were still selling for overs. Not looked recently
Think supply has stiffened up a bit too

Thanks for the responses - I think I'm looking at a potential 10-12k loss, I think there are plenty out there now.Tracky wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:05 amI don’t think it would be much.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 10:18 amI think the 4.0 718 GTS is a very tempting proposition, but it depends on how much you’d lose on your recently acquired 992...

That would still mean you'd be getting quite a handful of money back on the swap. Man maths says thats a no brainer and a 4.0 NA 718 will be a special and probably the last of its kind.MacanArif wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:14 amThanks for the responses - I think I'm looking at a potential 10-12k loss, I think there are plenty out there now.Tracky wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:05 amI don’t think it would be much.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 10:18 am

Hmm, so the OPC (if that’s a trade in) would still be looking to offer it at close to list price for the next owner. I think that maybe a 718 GTS 4.0 may hold its value better than the 992 C2S in the long run...MacanArif wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:14 amThanks for the responses - I think I'm looking at a potential 10-12k loss, I think there are plenty out there now.Tracky wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:05 amI don’t think it would be much.
