I love my silver 986, but even I think you should go for the yellow CS. It's not a color that I'd buy just because I don't like yellow cars, but it's different and striking, and although not as easy to sell as silver, black, grey, someone out there will always like it in yellow, so you'll be able to sell it.

wow - not at all the responses i was expecting! I agree with the fact that the S will hold better value. the 2009 to 2012 S version are hard to come by but i think it is a matter that the cars are still new. The Newer S version of the 2014 are 10K more than non S - no matter what color or mileage. Is 10K to get a bump in HP and Torque in the newer models worth it? Cant afford it anyway. My wife told me to get out a couple months ago so just looking for a fun toy. The yellow car makes a statement...I agree.

Damnit - going to go flip a coin. I do like the refinement and the fact the 2014 is newer with hopefully less hassle. It is a fairly safe choice. the silver car has 8,000 miles on it. The yellow car (FYI listed a speed yellow so that is where I am coming up with the color. all the other pics show it in my opinion as speed yellow - regardless...IT IS A LOT OF YELLOW) is in need of a brake job, fluid flush, etc. I can try to work all that into the price but literally they are $2K different (that is if i can beat the guy down a couple grand...if not they are the exact same price. I already beat the silver one down to my comfort zone).

Decisions, Decisions
