I'm jones-ing for a 991 TTS but will have to wait until the price of used ones gets a little more reasonable. All you guys who have them now, enjoy them in good health. They are the most beautiful Turbos produced since the 965, IMO

I also buy the newest and best cars all the time, including a new 14 loaded Turbo S and I also loose my *** when I sell them. So I just ignore it,so it does not hurt so much.But,I do like the new toys and my new TS is the very best car I have every owned and I am Happy...It is only money,if you can afford it,do it and enjoy what you want..Life is short...

Well, here are a couple of thoughts;
1) A new 991TTS will never draw the attention and deep admiration that yr. 993TT will. You own an icon, perhaps the only car I wish I'd never sold. It's a teutonic terror and a head turner. The 991TTS is just another marginal stylistic iteration on a 996TT and 997TT, all rather unnoticeable.

On another note, the looks are fine and great but in performance, the car over-delivered to my expectations. The launch is vicious. Handling is superb at low speeds and highway speeds.

When I roll in the 14 Black Turbo S, I get attention all the time.I always see people looking/ taking pictures..The TS is at the same level as the many Vipers/ZR1s I have had in that area..As for the TS it self,I am very happy with the 200 Large I spent for it.The TS will out run most any thing and it drives like a Benz when you are just cruising..Ya,these toys cost $$$,but that is what it for,to spend it....
Buy the way,I chose the 14 TS over a 458 Italia...

Going through a similar thought process as the OP....
Scenario 1/ Buy the new '14 TT Cab that's at my dealer now.
Scenario 2/ Buy the well optioned used 991 C2S Cab that's there and wait a few years to buy a similar TT Cab.
Affordability isn't as much the issue, as is my pseudo-Scottish heritage...
