993 sales seem to have dramatically slowed
there's obviously been a slow down in the sale of 993's these days- Which of the following do you think are driving this?
Sellers pushing the upper bounds of the price and not willing to come off their ask?
Collectors burning through their disposable $$?
A lack of solid examples?
Another P-car model taking over as the market preferred ?
Economic uncertainty?
General lust for air-cooled cars declining?
A natural "pause" in the market due to some or all of these issues?
Other?
There appears to be at least 3-4 really nice 993's for sale on RL alone- wish I had the capital to ****** up another.

Interesting you should bring this up. I am looking at a clean manual 993 coupe that the dealer is pretty much willing to trade even for my '05 997. And I think the preferred aircooled model is now the 964. I sold my 964 in 3 days after listing it, and had multiple parties tell me they preferred the 964 to the 993 as they just didn't like the more refined drive of the 993, and felt more connected to he road in the 964. I don't necessarily disagree, but if one really wants that kind of connection, buy a 3.2 or sc. I just never cared for the looks of the 964.

I do agree that Singer has definitely pumped life into the 964 market

My take which is founded in absolutely nothing:
High quality, low mile, high priced cars sit
High quality, low mile, reasonably priced cars sell
High quality, high mile, high priced cars sit
High quality, high mile, reasonably priced cars sell
And so on and so forth. The driver market peaked a year or two ago. The collector cars will always hold a reasonable value.

This reminds me of all the time I wasted day-trading dot.boom stocks in the 90's.
Multiple camps offering endless theories for what wheat might be shed from what chaff.
Not why I bought mine, nor will it be why I sell it.

What about the new Ruf yellow bird throwback? Imagine a 200+ mph 964 looking thing? That is cool. I am selling my 993 race car but imagine my weight car with another 400 hp. Oh my!!!
