Crystal Ball Time
I am thinking about ordering a new 911. My choices are 911 T, C4S or S models.
I like each model for different reasons. I’m wondering if I could get some feedback on which model might be more desirable and easier to sell in the future. I suspect that the C4S might have the least amount of demand in the future but am not sure.
Thanks in in advance for the feedback.

Do you have a dealer with any kind of 991.2 allocation with your name on it?
I was told 6-ish weeks ago that there were no new not-already-spoken-for non-capital-T-turbo 991.2 allocations in the Northeast.

... assuming here that the “NH” means New Hampshire.

C4/C4S for me all the time.

I drove all models last week at the Porsche Driving Experience. I liked the C4S the best but hard to tell based on two track laps for each car.

Keep in mind that the Porsche is a driver's car. It is not Italian, where you are afraid to accrue miles on it. It is a car that must be driven, so don't worry about the miles, nor upon what you want on it pleasing someone else later. They are not rare cars. The never will be. Porsche makes plenty to satisfy demand. The majority of Porsche buyers are relatively timid at buying one. They want to be able to flip it if need be, so they largely get something they think is easily flipped, like a silver, black, white, or less today, a red car. The odd ball colors are too scary for buyers today to venture into.

If resale value is a big concern , realize that most buyers are picky and want a well documented, well maintained car. Keep good records of this and you will be fine with resale of any of the current cars on your list.

When making my choice a few months back, those three were on my short list as well along with the base Carrera ... I did test drive both a base and an S before making my decision ... while being the most readily available at the time from an allocation perspective, the T dropped quickly from my list because I was ready to move back to an automatic having worked a stick for the last 10 years plus I couldn't get over the loss of insulation that is part of what makes a T a T. I actually really liked the base model but unfortunately I discovered rear-axle steering on the S I drove and decided that I couldn't live without it (just too cool for words). As far as the 4S was concerned, I certainly didn't need four-wheel drive since my intention is to bench the Porsche when a rare winter storm comes through Portland. I did test drive in rainy conditions and discovered that the rear-wheel drive solution performed extremely well. So, it came down to a good balance between desired features and cost. My C2S is only two months out from build and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
BTW, while I did agonize over this decision, in the end I tried to let some logic and economics play in the final decision ... enjoy the experience of choosing but don't delay too long as I'm guessing your order window is closing fast on 991.2.
