2013 4S vs. 2012 TTS
Let's say you had two options:
Option 1
2013 4S loaded with MSRP of $132k
1,500 miles
Price = $100k
Option 2
2012 TTS with MSRP of $175k
15,000 miles
Price = $115k
Both not CPO but very clean cars. Which do you pick?
At respective prices if you sell in 3 years, which depreciates more in absolute dollars?

The only TT I've ever been for a ride in was a 993TT. But at only 15 hp more than my CS, it sure gives me memories of being MUCH quicker off the line and up to 50 or so, which we didn't exceed as we were on populated city streets.
If you like really spirited performance from the "basement", I betcha you would like the TT more.
My guess is the TT will always retain more value over the years than a "std" Carrera.

Unless pure acceleration is your main concern I would take a 991. When I ordered my 911/50 the dealer had a brand new 997 TTS. The turbo would have been 5K LESS. But the turbo gets significantly worse gas mileage and is more expensive to maintain and insure. In the end, I wanted the newest technology and the longer/roomier car. The C4S is still a very fast car. My 2009 C2S was more than fast enough for me and I had no need for the turbo. BUT, if low end torque and acceleration are what you really want then the TTS is hard to beat. Other than that, the 991 is nicer.

Whichever feels better to you. Neither is special enough to not depreciate more than you expect or feel reasonable (and for a constant amount of driving the TT will always be the higher mileage car to resell!). Much of the difference in what you recover will depend on condition at time of sale
But they are two very different rides. A decade older design with more torque, top of line appeal, and associated costs esp with higher mileage; newer tech with better all around performance, likely less overall cost for awhile.
