CPS Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hi all, I sold my 981 to a good home 6 or so months ago. And am now considering getting back into a 981s. However I'm looking at a budget of 40k ish and see a 718's at a similar cost. So looking for a positive consensus of which way to go. The car won't be a daily, but also won't be a garage queen! Ps. Great to be back on a positive forum compared to some I've been on recently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Have you driven a 718? Obviously you know the 981 well, what did you or didn’t you like about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPS Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Driven both the 718 and 718s. I guess in reality I'm trying to get my head around prices and potential depreciation. I feel 981's are still holding a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find a distinct correlation between people's views on the relative merits, and the entry in their "My Ride". But anyway, well done for returning to the fold - I'm sure you'll be happy whichever route you take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think if you make a decision on trying to second guess depreciation its just a road to disappointment. You could make a case that 981 will depreciate less and have more long term fans, you can make a case to always buy the newest car you can. Unless you have a crystal ball then who knows. Buy the one you like best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 For the weekend I think the 981 ticks the right boxes and would be my choice. However, the base 718 in manual is a good compromise, it obviously doesn't have nearly the same level of drama but it's nice steer and feels a little more modern all round.
