I would like some opinion whether trading my C63 and Audi S5 for a Porsche Turbo 2009 is a good idea? any insights would be great.

I love the Turbo but I am not sure if staying with both my current cars or getting a Turbo.

997TT? no brainer. Do it.

C63 and S5 are great cars and all, but 997 is in a whole different league. Although I kinda prefer the 08 bodies look wise.

What is it that you are doing that the S5 or C63 dont do as well as the TT will? Tracking? The C63 is a great car if you strech its legs-dont get me wrong the 997 is a fantastic car-but think of what you lose with what you would gain in the trade(s)-
my vote-
keep them both-

Funny, I posted this the other day in response to another question - here it is again with some commentary------

The instant torque of a naturally aspirated engine cannot be duplicated in a turbo for street driving, especially. The C63 is truly amazing in that regard.

Many of you all know my stable (599, Scuderia, 16M, F40). And my past cars have include many a turbo (930, modded 996, even a GNX back in the old days); And, I just spent a few hours at a local Porsche dealer driving the GT2, TT, GT3, and a modded TT (used) - I tested them HARD (ok, I drove up 25 miles in my Scuderia) and even the GT2 had too much lag IMO, especially when I was in the 2-3k RPM range.

When I got back home, I jumped into my C63 (Kleeman assisted) and was blown away with the endless and always available torque - not quite as balanced any of the Porsches in the handling department (and a bit harder riding with the PP in my C63 than even the GT3), but I came away with no interest in the P cars and am keeping my C63 as my daily driver.

The C63 is really the total package - Do I love my others? - yes - would I track the C63 -- not ME as I have others that I prefer, but that TORQUE - the only other car that kills it is my 599, but that ain't my daily driver, even if I do occasionally drive it into and out of Manhattan.

I have an 07 TT, yea it has lag, so just keep it above 3500rpm if you don't want to experience it. If you don't need the rear doors and seats, go for the TT. When the turbo's spool up, hang on, as the acceleration is brutal.

I can only briefly imagine how huge of a hit you'll take on the C63 and S5 on trade-in (or even PP sale) before a start to shiver. Can you get away with dumping the S5 and buying a used 997tt?

That's the very first thing that came to my mind. The OP will take a major hit. Modern cars are losers when it comes to unloading them. I sold my E350 to a relative at a decent price to get a E63 but still took a hit. And then there's all the fees and taxes that are not recoverable. It's money out the window.

If the OP is well-off enough to take that kind of loss, then why not keep the cars and lease a 997TT?

btw, nothing wrong with the 997TT as your daily, but you'll be throwing your Audi and MB away to get one.

Well after reveiwing the replies here and much consideration. I decided to stick to what I currently have for the following reasons.

Reason. #1 Turbo here in PR with 500 miles is going for $190K Cost new $210K

Reason #2 The trade In value is killling me they have offer me $60K below from what I paid and both cars have under 4K MILES!!!

Both my cars cost me new $185K!

If you have another car besides the C63 and the S5 do it other wise don't do it.

Yeah I would def rather have the TURBO over both cars, BUT taking that big of a hit is not worth it IMO.... Just enjoy the C63 and do some mods

Yhea I do have other cars but whats killing me in the trade in value.

DaGS1800

Haha yeah not worth it... Next time choose wisely before you buy brand new...
