You're "stuck" with a 3.4 roadster that sets the bar in its class? LOL.

Dude just wait until your kid is old enough to ride in it.

My plan back when I first bought my Boxster S was to keep it for about 3 years. I'd decided against getting a Carrera after driving the Boxster S. The fact that I saved $10-$15k by skipping the Porsche with the engine in the wrong place just made it a no brainer....
Then a few years into it all a guards red 996 C4S came along. I was about to pull the trigger. But I couldn't do it. The C4S was going to be my winter car. But at the time I was getting along fine with Boxster during winter. I decided to scrap the C4S. And man what a good move that was. The economy tanked within a year and half and that C4S lost so much value that I would have been severely underwater on a car!!!! not a house but a car...
Now the 911's are cheap. You can get into a 997 for as little as $34K. So you can imagine what the 996's will be going for soon. Yet do I have even a remote desire to get into one? Not really. However if I were looking for a third car to sit around like yours, I'd get a old air-cooled Carrera. At least it won't bleed value from every corner as it sits there.

Honestly, if I were to sell my car, and I'm sure the same is true of yours, you could not possibly get something as good for the money. You'd have to kick in more cash and who needs to do that for a marginally better experience. If that.

p.s.
I hear that that Porsche is going PDK only on all their performance oriented Carreras. They're starting with the GT3 (and no more race engine to boot). PDK out of warranty will be as exciting as a donkey kick to the groin.
Meanwhile the value of all the non-GT1 engine Carreras (most of them) will be crashing because the 991 is so overpriced: The 991 is already seeing hits of as much as 20% with barely 12 months of ownership. Porsche screwed all their existing customers by pricing the new stuff so out of wack. If the 991's were in hot demand it might have worked out. But the only Carreras that the market seems to be willing to pay up for are the GT's. Probably more so now that a manual shifter is on the endangered species list. I'm even seeing '07-'09 997 Turbos that stickered for $150K going for under $80K, and those are the good ones with the race engine, the newer Turbos only get the street engine.
Point is wait long enough and you can get a Carrera, or any non-track orientedd Porsche, for a steal. Until then enjoy your bar-setter when you can.
