You would probably get more interest/discussion if you post this in the 997 turbo forum.

I first ignored this thread, since Allen, rightfully so, pointed out that this is not the right thread,... but now reading it a 2nd time, since Penny's Farm chimed in.... so I'll bite....

Sooo, you're saying that if the Turbo was a Turbo S, that you would obviously go with the car for that reason? ... that doesn't make sense. The difference {in sooo many areas} comparing a cab s, to a Turbo S is light years apart (& I'm saying that even though you have provided no detail on how heavily optioned the CabS is).

This is apples & oranges. 1st, comparing a Cab to a Coupe is more a matter of open wind-in-hair personal choice. Most folks are either one or the other,... so comparing the two doesn't usually come into play.

And then you're saying that the Cab S is newer by 3 yrs,... so it sounds like newness means more to you (& less miles),... verses say all the extra technology & base options that comes with a Turbo,... over a S.

Not sure this question can be answered by any of us. You have a lot more to think about, details to give, and questions to ask.

Good luck!

Thank your input. Sorry that I have posted in wrong section....I realized that after I hit post.

The 2011 turbo is a cab. The 2014 cab s...is NOT heavily optioned. It's cab. V. Cab. Turbo obviously provides much more power.....the 991 is newer with upgrades features and yes, less miles meaning less wear and tear. Car will not be a daily driver.

I hope this clarifies. Thank you for your input. I don't have experience with either car other than a test drive..... So if your recommend one over the other- please elaborate why.
