so - which would you buy?

i have an 09 on order - c4s - $106msrp - price is $96 ..... or....i can pick up an 07 911tt with 12k on it for about 109k.....which do you think has a better resale value - or is the better option? ( the price on the tt looks pretty good....but - is the 09 a significant enough change that i should wait for it?)

yes - i want awd - it snows a lot here...

The 09 will depreciate to a level below the Turbo, and the Turbo will always be faster. I say get the Turbo (unless a GT3 is available)!

09 S. Better than the turbo. See if you can get another 20K off though. Shoot for mid 70s because Porsche is making enough money.

Try to test drive the TT, if only in $10K different, you should forget about the C4S. But I agree with Ed, GT3 is a different story!
