The road feel of a 19" equipped car is gonna be different than that of a car with 18"s.

The sound of a car with the Sports Exhaust is different from stock.

A used car is priced differently than a new car.

Would I rather have a 987 than my 986? Yes. But I'd be just as happy having my (totaled) '99 986. Especially at the differences in price. All the cars were better cars than I was a driver.

In the states, I see 2007 S models with very low miles for less than $40k asking and nobody pays asking in this market.
