I purchased an excellent condition 1988S4 with 30K miles in 2010 (it has 33K on it now). I follow sales prices fairly closely and it seems that in the last couple of years the price has been going up about $1000 to $1500/year. I would expect the value to start to accelerate as the older 911's are now starting to soar in price. A rising tide lifts all ships.

8 years later thread revival. Been through a financial world war since then. Prices seem to be recovering slightly. I'm still holding on for the loove of the car's engineering and driving experience. Resale value has never been a serious consideration, certainly not anything that drives important decisions like when to change the oil or what wax to use. I use the Golden Rule, and hope that somebody maintains me in a similar manner when the time comes.

They seem to be going up in price now. I believe most of the bad ones have been sorted out of the bunch I see on Auto Trader and Craigslist.

I hear rumors and talk that Porsche is going to reintroduce the 928 in 2020 for a limited 3 year run based on the panamera that will get the back two doors chopped and retro styled to look like the 928's, including pop up headlights. If this is true our car values will sky rocket pretty quickly, me thinks.
The one main down side to our car values is the Porsche community (for the most part) do not see the 928 as a true need to own brand car. They see it as a mere oddodity (cool and awesome but an oddity). They rather save up pennies and invest in a older 911 for value sake. When I bought my 928, I did not buy it to try to make a buck off it one day but rather drive and be an advocate for it's long lasting life and pass it on to the next enthusiasts at a fair value. Short of it is, value is in the eye of the enthusiast wanting that unique Porsche and understand what they are buying and not just another air cooled 911 (nothing wring with that). Was not what I was wanting to buy. I had the money to buy one of those but I bought the 928, invested money in it's upgrades, it's heart and still saved over 30k from the 911 I was thinking about buying. For me, it was a steal..lol

I think the effect of the tariff(s) will be negligible on our cars other than higher end collectibles. But the tax is causing some concern in the GT3 threads. Guys with cars on order are speculating on delivery date and the possible $30K to $50k tax on their orders. Everybody has their eye on the bottom line at some point. Some with orders are current owners of earlier iterations of the GT3 and have the luxury of canceling the order and enjoying their current car. Maybe some added interest in the 928? Perhaps.

Disclaimer: I only happened to be there because there is a '15 GT3 FS in the member to member sales thread. It caught my eye. BUT It appears he is using 4 stock photos, and only posted those after prompting, it has gone dormant. I have a feeling he has lost interest in selling. Or maybe it is one of those pre-divorce ads to satisfy the unhappy spouse.

I like this part. How do you think that '05 Vette has held up in value compared to a used 928 purchased in the same year? I'd guess the used Porsche is now easily worth more, even though it was quite a bit cheaper at the time.

What kinds of sources do you have for those 'rumors and talk'?

Those have been around for a long time. Some even include 'artist's conceptions' of what the car might look like.

Until I hear something official from Porsche, or see spy shots of an actual test car (even one in an 'overcoat'), I will be very skeptical.

First off - that car would be in direct competition to the 911. The 996 and later versions became the GT that the 928 was. The 986 and later versions became what the 911 used to be.
There's no way Porsche would market a car that is a direct competitor to itself.
Second off - Pop up headlights are a thing of the past. Its been over a decade since any were sold new. Its too difficult and expensive to meet pedestrian safety rules (as in the car hitting them) with anything that moves up and down.

Remember, Porsche is part of Volkswagen and cannot just build whatever they want, must contend with other divisions for product slots .. for example, in the high-end 2-door coupe slot there is Audi R5 at the low end and various Bentleys above.

I got my S4 for a very good price; $0.00. A very frustrated P.O., ignorant bubba mechanics with no exposure to the 928, neglect to the max, but, earlier on it's life it received love. When I'm done, I will have a standing-tall S4.
