Quote: I did give deep thought about this - "once for the life-time"
I wish I could make a decision like I did to get the C55
Let's say, I do decide to go for a 977, do I get a
997, 997S or a 997S Cab ?
As you know , 997S Cab must be over 1.6m i.e. US200K....
And..I don't like manual , but what I heard , only the manual gets good ressale value...
Manuals get good resale values? I dun think thats the case in HK lol....

Spend the extra money and get a 997S cabrio, it's worth it imo.

I like your saying 'extra money'
4 yrs ago , I was still driving my 5+ yr old Honda Prelude VTEC 2.2 litre
so I paid 'extra' (double the price of Prelude when it was new ) to get a fully loaded brand new W210 3 litre. After three full yr SO satisfied with the W210 , I paid extra (almost double )again to replace W210 with W203 5.5 litre
Now, 1.65million HKD for the 997S Cab, this 'extra' (double my C55) means , by that time, I won't have a coin left for parking meter
Let me treat my women badly and leave them in the C55 for a while :p
LOL
anyway thx good thought of yours
