I listened to lengthy podcasts between Matt Farah and Chris Harris and also between Matt Farah and Doug Demuro (both have auction sites now) and the one thing they all seem to agree on was that the surge in prices is a combination of ..
- lack of supply
- free money (60%-100%+ Stock market return over last 24 months)
- Fear of missing out (FOMO)
- You only live once (YOLO)
- All of the above in conjunction with friends/family getting sick (or worse) and people just realizing "tomorrow" or "right time" may never come
This will continue for the foreseeable future and hopefully will slowly subside , but we cant expect to quickly wake up one day and things are back to 2019 levels... that may never happen again
Those are a couple of the reasons why I purchased my car in July 2020.
We've had good luck with our stocks for sure and saw nice gains.
Both of my parents are long-gone and enjoyed their lives to the fullest with no regrets, so YOLO definitely came into play for me.
If you have the means, enjoy life while you can. Waiting for the "right time" may be too late. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once a while, you could miss it."
Hey now! Found your post googling the VIN. I just bought this. How did you get the DME, still haven't seen it. Got a copy? And how did it smell . Looks and sounds awesome! Thanks for the rec.
Priced well for current market but very odd spec. PCCB’s but with 5 lugs. 18 way comfort seats but no Bose/keyless. And plastic dash… on a GTS!
Every time I think I understand Porsche, something comes along to disprove it. I “thought” a GTS had the 3.8. With a 3.0. I don’t see how this car is any different from a “standard” Carrera.

Different turbo’s, more boost, a lot of features optional on C2S that are standard on GTS. The 991.1 has the same 3.8 as the 991.1 C2S as well, but GTS has the “power kit” with different intake/plenum and some engine internals.

Was this in response to my post? If so, congrats! Post pics when you get it and welcome to the forum. I didn’t see this car personally, so couldn’t tell you anything about it, but a DME report on a pdk car is unnecessary.
I don't know if it is softening or not, but i have noticed the exact some thing. Will be interesting to see going forward.
I subscribe to Classic.com and just today only one out of 5 auctions found buyers while others didn't sell. Albeit most were GT3's going at over 200k but maybe the stock market pull back is having an impact.
I've thought the same thing. I've had alerts set up for new 991 listings plus checking bat daily I noticed a few months ago that alerts are starting to trigger with cars getting slightly cheaper. There are also a flood of used 991's so I feel like the market is saturated a bit.
What do I know though, I'm still trying to find a 991 with the elusive burmester package lmao
