Anyone swapped from a 997 to a 991? What sort of trade in values did you get? No need to say specific figures...just looking for a general idea if they're "good" or "bad"?

Not sure the 991 is for me and probably going to wait for the 991 Turbo....but I'm just curious.

As I understand it, there are no "incentives" with 991 yet.

The short answer is therefore bad.

If your 997 is fit for retail, OPC will need to factor in preparation costs - to include service/tyres and front end respray if more than x stone chips, 2 years' warranty, starting profit margin of £3k minimum and 20% VAT on the difference between purchase and retail price so, say, 8 to 10 grand. Look on the Porsche website for an approved used car like yours, deduct the above and you'll have an idea of its trade in.

If you fancy a Cayman R instead though, other threads in here would seem to corroborate my experience that better deals exist for certain models.

Thanks that's a helpful answer, I didn't immediately fall in love with the 991....so think I'll wait for the turbo which will no doubt be incredible. Another 2yrs off though I heard!
