991 pricing is out of control right now

This has been the best car I have owned. Full Sport Design Retrofitted. 7MT full Numeric Racing Shifter, pedals and upgraded shifter cables, B16's, DSC, Elephant Racing Monoballs + Camber plates, Houndstooth interior and full aftermarket stereo (Musicar Style).
I recently was offered $65,000 with 85,000 Miles. ---I Quickly declined the generous offer given the miles. I paid $80,000 with 20,000 miles 5 years ago. This has been the cheapest european car I have ever owned.

Def spend the money on the Cables first, I actually went with these cables and from what I can see they use essentially the same components, but at half the price. I have these in my car for 5 months and they have been flawless and they create an awesome shifter feel.

The pedals are Nice, the quality is top notch, but it didn't improve my driving feel as much when compared to the cables and shifter.

The eBay auction looks like it's for the GT3 RS. Do they fit the 991.1?

All I got from this video is that 991 cars are still depreciating but not as much as people expected. Also that the first year of the 991.2 is the best value right now in terms of depreciation
This was from last year, concluding that S model has better value. Well, that is if you can find one

My guess is for the buyer... I just agreed to buy a Dark blue 991.1 C2S PDK for 50k following a great PPI.
it seems C2S models with over 50k+ miles have bottomed out around the 48k to 50k price range.
just hoping that doesn’t go too much lower... but I hope it doesn’t considering there are lots of 997.1 C2S going for 44k to 55k with similar mileage. It’s the reason I moved my search up to the 991.1, just felt like I was getting more and better car.

Trade up is an interesting strategy. Would you get a 991 or 992? I am completely satisfied with my narrow-body .2 C2S MT with no desire for “more”. It was not easy to find my perfect spec.

Well, I assume it is for the buyer. My point is that the OP's title for this thread is not totally correct. Prices are not out of control. From what I gather, there were less cars for sale in 2020. That combined with the flattening of the depreciation curve for older 991.1 cars, it may have led to depreciation slowing down.
No one knows what the future is going to be. I assume that the 997 market (as some posters already mentioned) will be the floor for the bottom price of the 991. Four years ago, when I was active shopping in the HFS thread, the great deals were for low mileage 991.1S in the $70-80K range. Looking at how much my car is worth now if I sell/trade-in, it does indeed show a flattening of the depreciation curve and 2017 was a great year to buy.
My gut feeling is that there is a pool of potential buyers in the $45-50K price range (since they can justify it is the same as buying a new mass market car). However, as some have posted, that price range is for high mileage cars and most of the potential buyers don't want them.

I all seriousness, i've has i dunno, 10 or so 911s from long hoods to the 991 and probably 20 different porsches... , only gen i haven't owned is 996 or 992, but i've driven them.
Outside my hot rods/GT cars, I like the base cars a lot. Simple, pure. Don't get hung up on options, really, if you're going to drive the car, as intended, most are not needed. Especially for road use. Your budget is plenty for something great to enjoy, and don't under estimate how good the 981 cayman are. By far my favorite car post-997 generation is the 981 spyder. Magical car.
