How many social media 'followers' you think know these details or even care about them? I don't use social media other than this and another car related forum, but I live in 2021 and I bet you that if an 'influencer' retweets or reposts today a Keanu or Kylie photo in a 993, regardless if from 2013, and tags it, it will get a lot of 'likes' and the keystrokes behind that couldn't care less to know if the guy still owns the car or not or if the photo is current or not. They will think he still owns it and with The Matrix Resurrections coming out, it would be so cool to own the same car as Neo, and I am a Matrix fan for life, but oh wait, I don't know how to drive stick!!!, but oh wait, they come in automatic too??, heck yeah!! BAT here we go!!

Social media works and people are influenced by what they see. The more images of celebs with 993's we get the more popular they'll become. It's hardly surprising given that the 90's are the zeitgeist right now. Just look at the attendence levels of RadWood for evidence of that.

Gents, we are in the minority as old school 3-pedal enthusiasts. There is a massive new wave of younger folks making good money, that are in the ‘it’s trendy to own one of these’ mindset, (Keanu, Kylie Jenner etc) and some of them don’t even drive stick. So these tip hammer prices should be of no surprise here.

I'm the furthest thing from a Kardashian fan, but I believe it's actually Kendall that drives a black 4S, not Kylie. Saw an episode on Jay Leno that Kendall is actually quite a car buff and appreciates the classics. When you're worth a billion+ dollars and can drive anything you want, I can respect the fact that she can drive and appreciate a 3-pedal 993.
She does have a 993 C4S. Drives that 6sp Manual like a boss with those heels too!

The fact that a car is manual actually makes it appealing to a lot of younger people. It's a skill and it isn't easy for younger people to learn. That makes it exclusive. And exclusivity is the name of the game.
It seems like every younger generation person who checks out my car make note that it's a manual and nod approvingly. Take that for what it's worth.

That's because you bought it based on functional benefits. It's a product or device to serve your specific purpose. Whereas they are buying based on emotional benefits e.g. to look cool - totally different needstates for which 2 or 3 pedals makes no difference.

I think the fact that most young people can’t drive stick, make owning a stick that much cooler. Basic psychology.
Ironically, I’ve been tempted more than once to get a Tip 993 convertible. Just for a totally different experience (and because my wife hates driving stick).

It’s a matter of opinion.

The mistake is to assume our values on others. People have different need states. That's it. Young or old some prefer stick some don't. The point is stick is no longer the driving factor behind the purchase decision. Dare we say it but these old air cooled cars are becoming cool, manual and tip together.

This is the wrong thread for a pricing question- this is about tracking widebody prices and you'd need to provide a LOT more info to get an accurate price.
