Im a Porsche and car addict and unfortunately no one around me is so its hard to discuss the desire but stress in deciding to change cars when taking into account a "new driving experience", appreciation/depreciation, getting the best spec for the money.

so backstory, I have a Miami blue BGTS 4.0 PDK which I have loved having but always looking at other cars. To me this meant this is not a forever car. I decided im going to back to manuals and wanted a newer generation from the interior perspective (surround view is one of those options I would actually filter cars out by) so it left 992.1 onwards. then the obvious creep of well its not NA or it doesn't have LWBS or FAL so it will be harder to sell or may not get as much money back in 2 years.. all this led to even more analysis-paralysis.

recently I was able to find a 2024 Carrera T coupe 7sp. some sport design fascia in front/sides, burmester (which Ive always wanted), LCA/surround view (for peace of mind). added bonus is full PPF and low miles. pretty much meets all the criteria for the gentlemanly T spec. I don't ever go to the track.

all looks good, I try to trade in my BGTS +63K for the T and the fear/paranoia comes back. like is this a good deal? will I regret the NA 4L? will the Miami blue appreciate and I will has lost appreciation will the T depreciates? I think I need a therapist lol.

First off I know this is not a cayman post but this forum has way more traffic and I need help deciding! This decision has been consuming me and need to know if it's worth it. I am always keeping tabs on the car market and seeing if there's a 'deal'l to be had on upgrading. obviously there never really is after taxes and depreciation but at least I can enjoy something new for a while.

I am happy with my PDK Miami blue 2021 Boxster gts 4.0 with all the upgrades which I have happily owned for 2 years. But that itch to get something new (to me) and more exciting to drive recently came back and I have been scouring for 6MT cars. Recently came across a white Spyder and that itch came back. it would be about 60K on top of GTS trade in to get into it before TTL. In return, I get a slightly 2023 car with manual transmission, less tech features like entry and drive and LCA but does have burmester. worth it?
