Sooooooo true. Porsche dealers pay the least too surprisingly. Known of guys getting $5K+++ more from good indy dealers. Who by the way, turn around the cars and have lower margins than you'd expect. Less than $9K on say a $80K car. Porsche dealers will low ball and try and make at least $15K on the same car with a higher asking price too.

I think Porsche's move from an NA to a turbo engine in the Carreras is a greater paradigm shift than the move from an air cooled to a water cooled engine. That being said, I would expect the value of 911.1 Carreras to rise with each passing year, similar to the steady rise in the value of the 993s.

Would the 997 then represent the 996 in your sequence?

I searched for my 991.1 for a long time, on and off for a couple years. As result, I have a habit of continually checking my Autotrader alerts etc.... It appears 991.1s leveled out for a while, lost some value, and are now on an up swing (possibly caused by summer).
I was fairly surprised what dealers asking for some "higher optioned" ($140K+ 991.1 C2Ss) and low mileage examples. I am not sure what dealers are actually getting but these "rarer" examples are selling for much more now than they were 6-12 months ago. My car is heavily optioned and at the moment, I would likely be priced out of the market compared to back in November.

I agree - it makes sense that the 991.1 will depreciate further before it holds steady and then appreciates. It is pretty impressive how well its resale prices are holding up thus far. Only time will tell if it achieves cult status similar to the 993, the last of the air cooled engines, but given that it is the last and most powerful generation of the NA flat six in the Carrera, I like its chances.

I’d sell my CPO 48.000 mile Agate 2013 C2S 7mt Sport Design with black leather interior and 18 ways for 80k. That’s what it’d take to make my cold dead hands at least somewhat warm with a bit of life.
