NJ991

I would like to test one as well although I will never buy one, but it will have to be a manual.

Yeah, mine was here over a month early.
As far as PDI issue is concerned, my mom's Macan sat in PDI for a month so your few days is nothing, I wouldn't really worry about it. We found nothing wrong with her Macan upon inspection and it's been a year of fun driving for her.
Just don't get backed into on your test drive like me

There doesn't seem to be a manual transmission option for the 992 at the moment, so manual 991's may hold their value until there is.

Ugh. I sure hope that doesn't happen. I'll just drive really fast and run all stop signs and red lights so nobody can hit me.

I agree that the 991.1 is the last of the 3.4L NA engines, and they will always have their fans (me included).

I think that the new car has already been priced into the entire used car market so I suspect no real move in prices when the 992 arrives in showrooms.

I was on the fence until I saw pictures of the new 2020 Porsche 911S (992) in the April, 2019 issue of Excellence magazine. It looks great.

The magazine also states that the new 2020 911S laps Nurburgring at 7:25 which is 5 seconds faster then the 991 and even 7 seconds faster than the 2004 Carrera GT. The new car will have a $113K MSRP (the 2004 Carrera GT had a $440K MSRP).

On top of that, mt will be a no-cost option with the 992, instead of a lower price vs pdk in the 991s

Odd. So I bought my 2014 TTS this time last year. I just did some looking at all the places I had book marked and most of the 2014 TTS's listed are selling for equal to or more than what I paid for mine. I will take that kind of non-depreciation.

Good for you. There is a whole thread in the 992 forum dedicated to puking on the 992, which many of us find ugly as **** in several ways.

Bob Z.

Yeah, 992 praise should be given on the appropriate forum...you can say you like it but that's it.

Prices on 991.2 GTS are holding very strong. 2017's in the 120K range still.. Especially the low/odd optioned ones which I find weird.

Bob Z.

And all 991 Targas.

I was just stating my opinion. I have no clue why you have such a negative opinion except it looks bad to you? You could explain your opinion?

Would you also like to criticize Excellence magazine in mentioning that the 2020 Porsche 911 S was very fast compared to the 991S and the 2004 Carrera GT?

Here is my 991.1. What is really bad about it?


I am the only owner.

I was also stating my opinion. I think the 992 is awful in several ways. Longer, heavier, with videogame screens instead of gauges, the tiny little nubbin , the pseudo throwback styling that's allegedly inspired by the old air-cooled cars but actually looks nothing like it in any possible way, the big gulp cup holder, the big flat piano black space around the nubbin which looks weird and is a fingerprint magnet, the clamshell spoiler, the pointlessly overengineered door handles,.the Mitsubishi eclipse rear, the bacon strip brake light, the fake disconnected exhaust tips, and most of all the goofy monster jam gravedigger 21" rear wheels.

I'm broke as **** at the moment and I can't buy anything, let alone a $150k car, but if I were in the market for a modern 911, I'd take a 991.2 over a 992 any day and twice on Sunday.

I could care less that is a little quicker with a professional driver around a track I will never drive on...a turd is still a turd.
