No

luckily is driver and not broker making the market

i guess 996 will be more than 997 though 991 on top

DK7

not more, but i think very close level. (997.2 vs. 991.1 GT3)

997.2 RS will be worth more than a 991.1 RS in 5-10 years imho.

JZ98-993

+1 agreed

Not sure but I’ve kept 2 997’s and will always keep at least 1 (along with a 964 and LH). I will churn the latest/greatest gt product after the 997. Unless 992 ditches NA (it won’t). Pretty sure 992/991 will be like 997/996.

really? I thought the bans were only for new registrations. Are you saying all petrol engines banned altogether everywhere in Scotland ? That's huge.

I was wondering on the specifics of this as well?

Wonder in 25 years what the fuel availability and cost will be and if you could possibly be limited to track use only in some places. Scary thought!

No. But both generations are highly desirable for different reasons and pricing is similar enough that the market price will converge over time.

In 10-15 years, most here will be dead and there will be a generation shift.

Younger generation want modern interfaces and PDK. with so many 997 built, most will decrease in value. The 991 will decrease too but still cost more than the 997.
Collectors cars will always be those made in fewer numbers, 997.2 4.0, GT2, Turbo 918 edition. Etc.

Look where the muscle car market is today vs 10 years ago........

ElectricChair

In 5 years = NO. 991.1 GT3 much better and superior car.

In 10-15 years = maybe. The last bunch of Generation X buyers seeking for the truly driving/tracking experience might inflate the price of 997 GT3s.

In 25+ years = definitely NO. Millennials don't know how to drive manuals and most of them will be hunting old Teslas.

Yes, loss of infrastructure is one of the biggest threats. If a gallon of 93 costs $50 in today's money and gas stations are 50 miles apart, that'll make for some real tough environment.

Not sure why a 997 GT3 be worth more than a 991 GT3 in 5 years. There's probably not enough time to separate them into collectible/non-collectible status.

In 15-20 years, the old clock for assigning collector value will be disrupted by the transition of EV and self-driving cars. In 20 years, I'm not sure we'll want to pay (much?) higher insurance premiums for the privilege of driving our own cars.

That said, the future always takes longer than the futurists predict.

In 25 years the world's population will grow by 30% (2 billion people). If the world's economy continues to grow at a decent clip there will be a huge number of people who can afford expensive cars. People like my kids will be in their 30's and will have grow up with a house full of Porsches. There will still be a huge demand for classic cars. Maybe even more so because they won't be able to satisfy their dreams with the cars of the future.

I think the downfall of muscle car market, in addition to generation getting too old, is that the American car manufacturers went thru such a dark time for so long. They make some good stuff now but they just got a bad rap for a long time and weren’t making anything anyone lusted after. So u literally had to be old to have lived during a time US cars were desirable. There are multiple generations who never saw those times.

I think continuing to make good stuff that people want, keeping the brand strong, helps keep the old stuff in demand also.

Do people really make high end car decisions based on at best a $10k swing that won't pay off for 5 years? SAD (lol).
