I have an April build slot for a 997S with delivery in probably early June. Perfect! Except someone pointed out that I was at that point only a couple of months from the factory shutdown, possible upgrades and an 06 model year designation.

Sooo...

Should I stick with Plan A above and get my April build?

Or go for Plan B and wait for an August September build and run an old Boxster for the summer?

 

Doubt that there will be any major upgrades
One option that will make it's appearance for MY06 is the TPMS. But when in the MY nobody knows, only PAG
Stick with plan "A" and enjoy the summer months
Life is short

 

Go for plan B wait for the 06 (IMO) You'll get a better car and options, not that there is anything wrong with the 05.

 

Prices of Porsches in the US are being kept artificially low despite the current US Dollar/Euro parity. My local dealer is selling & shipping Cayennes back to Norway because of this discrepency. There is no guaranty that current Porsche prices will remain at this level going forward into the MY06, even though Porsche claims to hold currency hedges to carry them through 2008. What you may gain on resale value on an 06 compared to an 05 you may lose on a possible up front price increase of an 06 compared to an 05.
