I dropped my car in for service recently, and dealer salesperson reached out saying they could pay mid to high sixties for my car, just another data point. I thought it was a respectable trade-in offer, but I didn't have any interest in a 991.2 Carrera. I told him to call me w .2 GT3 offers at or below MSRP.
2014 C4S w 36k miles, I think it was on this thread sometime in the past - WP0AB2A93ES122192

there is a ‘14 c4s with 51k miles for $65k. Manual and enthusiast options
After reading the thread a few times, and my own shopping for a manual 991s, I wonder if everyone can help with where they see pricing, broadly.
Here's my thinking:
$50-60K: older 991.1 base cars, normal miles in the 25-40K range. Lower options.
$60-70K: maybe this is where you start to see higher miles C2Ss, but also older 991.1. Also newer 991.1 C2 (no S). You might find 991.2 C2. Generally lower options.
$70-80K: here you find reasonably optioned 991.1 C2Ss and normal miles (say 20-40K).
$80-90K: lower miles 991.1 C2S w lot of options, low miles 991.2 C2 and higher miles 991.2 C2S
$90-100K: here I see a few GTSs (I wonder if they're any good)

That is pretty accurate! Certainly high 60's is a great deal for a well-optioned, low mile C2S; add $5-10k for a C4S. You can find nice C2S models in the high 50's private party with good options, but that is tough to do at a dealership.
GTS models should all be falling below $100k by now. There are plenty at $95k that have been sitting for awhile. They continue to depreciate at $5-7k a year; people that were hoping they bought the next 997 GTS are sadly mistaken. A guy I know had perhaps the most loaded GTS I had ever seen: Aerokit, perfect condition, 2,500 miles, and he had a heck of a time getting $100k for it. Most of these cars have between 10 and 20k miles and are worth quite a bit less.

Agreed on all. I've seen many 991.1 C2S models floating around for mid 60's with high 30s to 40k miles.

sounds reasonable, but private party vs dealer (and the hability to include a trade in in the latter) and CPO vs out of warranty might justify some variances

In fact I had to Google who Robert Kraft is!
