Trade in for 996TT for 2007 MB CLS63 AMG?

J330i · 06-07-2008, 03:10 AM

I have an opportunity to trade my 2001 Porsche 996TT with 18,000 miles for a 2007 Mercedes CLS63 AMG with 7,500 miles..."even Steven." Both vehicles are in pristine condition.

Would you trade?

If I needed a car to haul around people, yes; but If I didn't i would would keep the 996TT cause its a fun car to drive.

Tam put it nicely. I would keep the Turbo if you can. But if you need more room, then CLS is not a bad choice.

Its as simple as:

Porsche; THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE

go porsche go go go!

MrHarris · 06-07-2008, 06:10 AM

Stay porsche unless you need the extra space (family)

Crimson92 · 06-07-2008, 12:21 PM

cls63 is great and fun car....but id prolly take the 996

SunnyBoo · 06-07-2008, 12:28 PM

996TT.............

................. ...why not trade it for E92 M3.............way more

...........

RedGT3 · 06-07-2008, 01:37 PM

Don't do it......

J330i · 06-07-2008, 01:57 PM

Well it seems so far that there is a resounding "NO!" I thought it would be great to post my question here for an unbiased opinion as I got the same reaction over at 6speedonline.com.

I'm about 95% sure I won't trade but the allure of 507 horses and the creature comforts are still kind of attractive.

ngl1145 · 06-08-2008, 11:24 AM

Don't to it!! Grass is always greener on the other side heheh.. Love the turbo!!

Boost Gomez · 06-08-2008, 12:16 PM

Trade for the new GT-R or something.. Otherwise, I would keep the 996.

sinnet112 · 06-08-2008, 12:18 PM

CLS really doesn't hold a candle to the 996 in terms of looks. I may be a minority but I think the CLS is one awkwardly proportioned ugly car. Keep the Porsche

e92man · 06-10-2008, 03:17 PM

id go with the merc. its a fun car and its nice to change stuff up a bit. plus its brand new pretty much!!!!

Amir87 · 06-10-2008, 03:19 PM

Go for it!

The 996 I dare to say is "outdated." Trade in for the CLS 63 and maybe you can trade that for a 997TT or GT3 later.

Porsches don't get outdated...they become classics, man. I can't say the same about Benz's though...the S500s and CL500s look so prehistoric now that it's not even funny. BTW where did you get 997TT from?

The only two cars mentioned were 996 and CLS63..

M2381 · 06-10-2008, 05:51 PM

Don't do it!!

Think down the road a few more years, no contest.

I know what you mean about Porsche not being outdated...I just couldn't find the right word.

I mention the 997TT because since the OP has a 996TT, he should go ahead for the CLS63 for a change. When he gets tired of the CLS, he should go back to Porsche.

My two cents.

HEY32G · 06-11-2008, 08:30 PM

Just to let you know, you also have the opportunity to trade your 996TT straight up for jet black '07 e90 335i with only 7500 miles on it.

TheSpungos · 06-11-2008, 11:10 PM

I actually think you're getting the better end of the deal. I've seen '01 996TT's with slightly more miles (30k) go for barely over $60k recently, and I haven't seen an '07 CLS 63AMG that you could touch for less than $70k, and most are in the mid-$70's.

I would probably do it.
