Default 997 Turbo

Sorry to ask what maybe a silly question but is there a rough idea when the 997 turbo is coming out.

Im considering a 996 turbo and I am wondering if prices will come down significantly when the 997 turbo comes out.

Probably as a 2007 model. That's my guess. Although now that the 997C4S has been announced, there isn't anything left, maybe the GT3?

I think your correct, the 996 TT prices will take another hit when the 997 TT arrives.....These cars were overproduced and, with the through back looks of the 997 which most seem to prefer , will most likely continue to decline in value.

With a sticker North of $150,000(Coupe) for the 997 Turbo, the price of the 996 Turbos just might increase a bit.

I could be off a little but it's got to be well into the forties.

I am guessing around US$140,000 also. Seems expensive for a turbo, but it was rumored to have 490hp, much more than the 996 GT2. I think the 996TT, TTS and GT2 will depreciate quite a bit when 997TT is out.
