Why buy the last of the model?

Those end of model run kickers always seemed like bad buys to me. Great marketing and a good financial way to get rid of old parts.

Buy in at the third or forth year of the model run when some of the initial bugs get ironed out and they put in the improved engines. Look at the '00 986 and the '09 987 as examples of improvements and a decent run with the then current body style. (Yes the '03 is even better but then you only have 2 years till the next model.)

Though with the electric/hybrid changes that may no longer make sense as model runs may not be as long at the 9 year 986 and 7 year 987.
