thank you very much, I love my car also. Trading up will be 4-5 years down the road, when the price of a used cayman and 997 come down.

You know my parents neighbor had a 986S and just traded up for a brand new 987S. He paid $65K off the lot. My dad bought an 01 996TT with 10K miles on it from Champion Porsche for $73K. 996's didn't retain their value very well and I've seen some early 996's with 60K miles go for $25K. 993's hold their value the best, my dad has a 95' Techart that he bought with 20K miles on it in 99 for $52K. When he bought his Turbo he kicked around the idea of selling it. Now it has 60K miles and he was offered $61K. He declined and decided to keep it, I had a little to do with that also. He figured since there was nothing wrong with it and it still gets the looks, why not keep it around.
