Folks - I am in a dilemma. I am in the U.S. right now but plan to go back to my home country in another 2-3 years. I am currently transitioning to a new job which will require me to buy a car. Should I lease or buy given the above timeframe? Assume I am only considering cars that I can financially afford.

To be honest this seems like a good use case for leasing. Takes the stress away from being time crunched to sell when it comes time go back.

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
