Believe it! I'm chasing the American dream, hard at work, inching closer to option 1,2, or 3 while enjoying the privilege of being the temporary operator of a naturally aspirated 911.
991.1 prices fluctuate and vary from store to store, and state to state. The influx in prices is falsely inflated by dealerships.
You can pay 90-100K for a poorly optioned 15/16 C2S at a Porsche dealership or you can pay 70-75K for a loaded C4S at carmax who will sell you a warranty just as good as CPO for under 3k. You can also find 15/16 GTS models on Carmax every once in a while for in the 90k range. Porsche dealers will ask 115K+ and they'll market it like it's a GT3.
Whats the difference? The Porsche dealer will tell you its the last of its kind blah blah and the Carmax dealer won't say a word.
Ultimately 991.1 prices will end up holding steady but will still depreciate a fair amount. Especially when we start seeing 2-3 year old .2's coming back from leases and trades. The main difference between a 13 and some 14 carreras and a 15/16 is some crappy parking sensors and a camera. Worth the 20K in price difference? Fools gold.
I don't think any 991 is going to be a collector car, but it does stand to reason that the .1 will retain an allure among those enthusiasts who are focused on the exhaust note. Just a matter of preference, but I've never liked the subdued turbo exhaust note. I find even the .1 note too digitized compared to my air-cooled 911's, where the exhaust note conveys a real personality through the RPM range.
Thats incredible and unheard of for such a new car that sells at such volume. And in itself encapsulates the sheer allure that is the .1.
#2s can keep the OMG TORKS BRAH. Ill take desirability.
To be fair, the car had an accident prior to my purchase (repaired to by Porsche dealer body shop) and I knew it was a very good deal at the time especially since it had a $12k TechArt kit on it. I figured that the price would always be towards the bottom end of the 991.1 market so I wouldn't lose much if anything if I sold it in the future. But the market has been very strong on the bottom end IMO and there are very few 991S under $60k anywhere, let alone with $125k build and full TechArt kit. For someone that doesn't mind the accident history, even at $66k it still seems like a good deal today.
Ultimately 991.1 prices will end up holding steady but will still depreciate a fair amount. Especially when we start seeing 2-3 year old .2's coming back from leases and trades.
Exactly, and once the 992s roll out and render the .2s worthless/obsolete due their utter inferiority the last of the NA cars will appreciate again and I will sell and put my 4 kids through grad school.
Hi all,
Just for reference, I bought my 14 C2 exactly 2 years ago for $68K. There were better deals for identical builds but I chose mine because the color choice.
The other her day I searched Porsche site for used cars and could not believe that cars with similar build BUT with much higher mileage are going for almost at the price I paid 2 years ago😦 something strange going on...
my car:
purchase price: 68k
2014 C2 with CPO
purchased exactly 2 years after in service day(April 2016)
Msrp $105K
millage: 4K
Pdk, sport crono, Bose, 18 way, guards red etc.....

Havent posted anything in a month of Sundays but this is an interesting topic to me. Ive had my ridiculously slow 14 c2s for nearly a year and a half and its just as special to me now as the day I bought it. I could get myself a 991.2 base or s but it aint gonna happen. If I decide to trade up it will be a 991.1 GTS or nothing even though I love the AMG GT s. I have noticed the value of the 991.1s are really strong and rightfully so imo. Also I DO NOT ride around with my spoiler up anymore! Lol! Not there is anything wrong with it. I also know we belong to a special club as 911 owners and regardless of year or trim I love all Porsche 911s because there really is no substitute.

Believe it. 991.1s are legends on their own merit, but Porsche extended owners a gift when they discontinued N/A Carreras.
That is, of course, until you may find yourself back on the car hunt and realize their literally, is no substitute. Unless, of course, youre ready to splurge GT prices.
