Yeah you wouldnt pay circa 40k on a car like that then not get the service stamps to carry your investment!

996 Turbo with low miles/owners would be a good investment as far as cars go. 911s will always hold their money well, doubt you'd lose much if you kept it for 2 or 3 years.

Well that would be the plan. I would probably 50/50 buy/finance it. I wouldnt be able to afford to change it for 3-4yrs.....or at least until the 997's affordable.

Check the prices of a naff 1998 C2, then a decent 2003 example. Not masses amounts of price difference, I reckon a 996T would lose around £3-5k in 3 years so not a bad hit at all. Obviously gets nastier when you add running costs etc

Perhaps that is why they hold their value - no one sells them after they've paid the service bill
