What would you choose?

Another vote for a 997 Turbo here. My dad has a Gen 1 that he bought new, now with 92k miles on it. Stills puts a smile on his face every day! Lovely car. :beer:

Can you stretch to the 991 Carrera 2S (the cheapest I have found is just over £50k) for one with sub 30k miles? The 385bhp PDK version is actually faster around the Nordscliefe than both the 997 Turbo and 997 GT3 Mk II and less than 5s slower than the 997 GT3 RS Mk II, which shows what a great car it is :supz:.

For reference it does a 7.37.9, so is even faster than our legendary CSLs.

R8 V8 gets my vote.

Or the 997 GTS.

Or the 991 Carrera 2S Mike talks of!

Or just drive all of them on your list and see which one you prefer :smt023

Lam and 458 too rich for me I think. 430 look ok, but I'm not buying into F and GT inflation. Still think folks (unless high end/low vol) are gonna get bum raped on the regular stuff.

The main reason I suggested these was that it seems they tend to hold value quite well. If you get the GTR from Litchfield your GTR tax should be minimal. Just dun go crazy on the mods.

997 turbo, good cruise and classy vehicle, rs nah... Hey what about those r8 v10 pluses with that lovely s tronic transmission?

Dun forget to value is depreciation, running costs etc and you can get an idea of total ownership cost.

997 GTS - great combination of price/performance and reasonable residuals although perhaps a little bland if you're after something more exciting?

997 Turbo values becoming very attractive but many of them around.

CLK black sounds cool :smokin:

I would go for the R8 Spyder as it is a convertible and so a fair bit different to the CSL, or a 997 turbo as they are different by being much quicker in a straight line. Not a 997 turbo convertible though, unless of course you are gay, in which case you can kill two birds with one stone.

What about a Bently GT? Better to cruise around in than you would imagine.

The 997 GTS sounds really good, a bargain and a nice way to invest in something not so rare but quite special!

There's only two of you, weekender car, not used much and not taken on track? Gallardo all the way, in BLACK. No contest. After that, 997 GTS (although you'd regret not saving up and spanking into a GT3, given the appreciation).

I have a stage 4 GTR and it's great as a road car but has zero class. It also manages almost 6mpg at the Ring.

I miss my CSL.
