Keep the 993 and get a CT. It will be night and day versus your Cayenne.
agree! guess i am more tempted to go for CT instead of 997s

but having said that i am still not convinced that i should let go of my 997s esp when i already have cayenne albeit a v6

still confused......

One Porsche vs Two Porsche? Easy decision for me... I would never let go of the 993 if I were you...

Better yet... get a three car garage

no doubt the 997 is a great car, but considering it costs 5 times than my current 993, i have doubt whether it is 5 times better than a 993???

so on my way home i was thinking whether i should buy a cayenne turbo instead i already have a cayenne v6 but its a bit unpower so i guess i can trade v6 for cayenne turbo

well i guess i will just as happy if buy a cayenne turbo instead of 997s

besides i can keep my 993 cos i guess once the 997s is here my 993 will have to go

pls advice....


$$$993 X5 = $$$ 997 ????


why don't you wait 5-8 years when $$$993 x 1 1/2 = $$$997

then you can compare....


as said before...financially new cars are not the best......


you should ask a different question now......(without comparing prices...)

is 993 better than 997 for your personal opinions?

Low price on a 993 is $30k x 5 = $150k....oh well, I'm confused. Good luck!

in hong kong i can sell my 993 at 300,000 (about US$38,461) but a new 997s cost about 1,450,000 (US$185,897) in another words a new 997s cost almost 5 times my 993

anyway the CT is selling at 1,480,000 (US$189,743)
