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.
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

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.

Price will never be an issue if you never sell it. That’s my plan. Just picked up a 2019 991.2 CS2 MT with less than 2K miles. Could have bought a base 992 (w/ PDK) for the same money or less, but fell in love instantly, and had to have it.
For the right price I would be willing to sell.....there could be a Turbo S in my future!
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 have a 2017 991.2 3.0. Coupe optioned at 114k Full leather. Carrera White Metalic/ Tan. Turbo wheels and Pano sunroof. 20K miles.Im in Scottsdale. Led lights. Xpell bra whole front. Not cheap, but an awesome car. Porsche 13 for me over 42 years.
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.
Yes, 981 Spyder is one of my all time favorite Porsches and the first one of the 10-12 Porsches I’ve owned over past 30 years that I say I’ll never sell. I recently picked up a 981 Cayman S for track duty and also an 89 Carrera. I absolutely love the analog experience of the antique. I can run it to red line in several gears, something I can’t do in the other two without attracting unwanted attention from John Law. Just throwing out some options for someone with a $50k budget. Well not the 981 Spyder but the other two.
