should i sell my 1M now and buy 911 4S ?

[a7med606]

hi guys , i want to take ur opinions on selling my 1m and buying a porsche 991 911 carrera 4s

i am not bored of the 1m and still enjoying every minute driving it and its not my daily driver but thing is that i am afraid that the price will drop in couple of months or when the bmw M2 comes out

i bought the car with premium package just with 7000km last year and now it has 18000km on it and my car is stock

should i sell it before the price comes down or mod it with cobb ap a, charge pipe and some few mods ?

Why should you care if the price drops if you're enjoying the car?

This guy gets it.

Go drive the 911 and see if you like it.
You have two years before the M2 will show up and in that time there will be many more tempting cars showing up. I'm sure 1M prices will erode a little bit, but if you can afford a 4S then you can afford to lose a tiny bit of theoretical money.

perfectly stated. a question and an answer all in one sentence!!

[LukeM3]

You seem convinced that the price of the 1M will drop. How do you know this and where are you getting your intel from

[sergeremi]

Yes. Sell it. You know the price now. In the future, not so much. If you need the newest or the fastest, then get your money now.

Consider yourself lucky that the car has kept it's value well beyond it's inaugural year. Hell, it even appreciated. That rarely happens. Usually, you write off money spent on a car.

But in my opinion, you'd be dumb to sell it. This is a modern classic that will only be more in demand as the years go on. Of course, that only applies if you care about that sort of thing. Or are a collector. If not, keep chasing after the new hotness and drive on.

911 4S vs 1M? Go outside and think about what life means to you as an individual. Then the decision will be easy. Completely different cars. Both brilliant.

If you are buying a new 991 you are going to loose more driving it off the lot,then you will loose on the 1m over 4 years.

You just got a whole bunch of good advice here, so I just want to add another because I also have a 1M and 911 50th edition, now just to let you know that I traded my GTR in to get the 911 with MT. I kept my 1M, its almost 3 yrs now, and I love every moment of it. If you are trading it in for a 4S, get a MT no pdk, because if you enjoy driving the 1M.
Also, even tho the 4S has awd, it still has less torque than the 1M, totally 2 diff car.
I enjoy my 50th edition just as much as my 1M, they are so FUN to drive. Both have one of the best manual transmission in the market.
If you can, test drive a 4S, then step back in the 1M, see if your desire is still there.
IMO, keep the 1M, price of your 1M shouldn't be a factor if you still enjoying it....

You are worried about the 1M one of the few vehicles that has APPRECIATED for several years may possibly face some depreciation, and you want to sell one of the best vehicles made in the last decade ( even though you are happy with it !) and then take your profit and sink it into a Porsche 911, which will lose a tremendous amount of value the day you drive it off the lot continuing for the next several years before it finally stabilizes somewhere in the mid 40s. Sure. Sounds like a great choice ! Where do I sign up ?

I had a car with electric steering.

I remember I wanted to sell my 128 with the mods and get a porche carrera. After some research I noticed that the porche value drops like no tomorrow quicker than a bmw. I asked around some people who have sold their porches and have sad that the value of the porche does not stay high like the value of a bmw. I would stick with the 1M. Not only because you enjoy the car so much, but the 1M will be worth its value.

(The porche I was looking at had about 24,000 miles 2012 clean title that was going for the price of a base Honda Accord.)

The 991 is a great car. In some ways it's more of a GT and quite large, but it's admittedly capable and excellent for what it is. From that point of view I'd say follow your heart.

From the depreciation point of view, however, I don't get it. Financially, why would you replace a car that might depreciate with one that's guaranteed to?

[Em/1]

911 OK but why a 4S? Can't imagine a use for the 4 wheel drive...

It can have redeeming qualities...

I would never buy a brand new P-car. There are too many fat bankers who
"had" to own a Porsche that end up selling their low mileage 911s within a year or two at a deep discount. This is especially true if you are interested in a MT model. And for the price of a brand new 991 s4, you're getting real close to the price of a 997.2 GT3 which will hold its value long after the 991 is sent to the crusher.

[a7med606]

thanks alot guys for ur opinios , the thing is that i am looking at the z3 m coupe and z4 m coupe they look like too old cars and the price of them is very cheap now and they look ugly .

i think i decided to keep the 1m cuz its a rare car and i will start modding it to have more fun

and for the guy who asked why a 4s ? the answer is cuz the rear fenders are wider and i like the way it looks from the back

If you want to buy a Porsche 911 4S solely based on looks, then go with the original Porsche 911 Big Butt
Money in the bank.

I've owned three Porsches including my current 993 Turbo, If you are worried about depreciation, don't buy a new Porsche. A 991 C4S will cost $140k and be worth $60k in 5 years. it's a massed produced car. I bought a 2002 C4S which was $90k in 2006 for $49k. The first owner took a massive depreciation hit.

If the M2 (which will be massed produced and not limited like the 1M) makes the 1M depreciate, it will still be a $50k car due to its limited production.

Even if the 1M dropped to $40k (I doubt it) you lose 10 grand instead of the 80 grand you will lose on the new Porsche.

[chris82]

I'd buy the 911 in a heartbeat lol
