Lease is on the new C4S. Turbo is the finance. MF is .002 and residual is 57% I believe.

Definitely go w/ 17 Turbo, trading in the two P-cars!!
But....since you built an 18 C4S just the way you wanted, i'd think you would look hard at that again.
Unless there was a good reason why you told your dealer you wanted out of the allocation.
Which one does your gut say? I'd ultimately go with that.

But before the build locked, I was starting to really bond with the car. The "shortcomings" didn't bother me and I told the dealer they can change the allocation as I'm good as I didn't want to part with the CTTS as well. Fast forward 3 months, I feel that having 3 cars is a bit silly and the C4S is here. But I can also get a TT. This leads us to the current situation as I was thinking the CTTS will be an anchor in the near future. No warranty, bad car fax, old body, 30K+ miles, etc.
Just got home from an 80 mile roundtrip to see the girl. The C4S is really enough car. It's so fast in the 911.2 that any more power is not really usable or necessary.
I think I'm leaning new C4S. BTW, dealer called and lower the lease price by 50 bucks to make it happen.. Trade out of both cars, 7.5% off new car PLUS free maintenance for the C4S for the lease term.

When I was in the market for a P car back in May, I couldn't really find something I loved. The C4S I got lacked full leather, 18 ways, entry and drive and a few other choice options. However it was a smoking deal. 132K MSRP for 109K including CPO. Only had 4K miles. Dealer said order a C4S you want with our July allocation and when it arrives we will give you 105-107 for the C4S. I am getting out flat back then.

Now, how about a pic or two?

This may not be what you want to read but driving cars based on monthly payments is killing you financially!
Keep the C4S until it's paid for.
Get rid of the Cayenne.
Drive the Jeep into the ground.
Save your money, pay cash for your next 911.-Richard

Budrichard, I didn't ask for financial advise. I have my own company and having a monthly payment or 5 of them is not the issue. I can pay cash for all these car and I don't agree with the advise nor does this fit my lifestyle. If I want to buy a new car, I'll buy a new car. If I want to buy a new car, wreck it on the track with no insurance, I'll pay to fix it out of my pocket and won't even notice the money is gone... car nuts, like myself, don't make the "best" financial decisions on these cars; however I am VERY VERY VERY blessed and fortunate to be able to buy, sell, wreck, etc. these cars. If I wanted to make the BEST financial decision, I wouldn't be on this forum discussing any cars. This goes for all of us.
However, like the C4S, I typically do buy CPO, and I can get out flush or even ahead on this particular car. I don't mind leasing or getting a new car sometimes as its nice to get something that I built and no one drove before. I don't mind having a car payment and I can afford any and all of these options.

See post 22. If cash was an issue, I wouldn't have 3 cars. Re: leasing, this is your option no? Do you know my situation? Don't mean to be nasty, but simply saying leasing is not the right thing, is not accurate.
