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

Any thoughts?

Looking at your history a 718 GTS might be a refreshing change.

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... 😬

I don’t think it would be much.

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.

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.

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... 🤔

Thanks - I can see the logic in that.
