Default 996 Prices are rising

I bought my 996 about six years ago ,nice car in good condition. After getting offers to sell it I did list it for sale.It sold in one week for way more then I paid for it .I put about 35,000 miles on it and all maint was up to date ,a reliable and very few problems on it . I just couldn't resist selling it for much more then I paid for it .Will I get another one? Maybe ,right now I have mercedes E550 coupe,runs great lots of power fun to drive.I think I will get a tuner program that increases h p and torque by over 100 h p and torque over 130 ft lbs ,making it a very fast ride.I'll miss all the help I received from others and will check in every now and then .I think I'll stay with the mercedes for awhile and see what the future holds.I do miss my 996 but am happy with the fact to resell at much higher price then purchased . The 996 is rising in value ,thats good for us all.

I watched it using Direct TV in AZ on channel 281 MTHD. Motor Trend HD I think. They also have a streaming channel but not sure it's free.

OK they have a 7 day free trial..

Default 243,000 1999 cab 6 spd on bat

Everything reads well other than hard to downshift into second. The synchros are probably bad. Anyway is on bat. Bat must be going desperate when taking cars like this. I would not pay $9 for this.

Not all of us, only those selling.
If you’re buying it was better 3-4 years ago.

Less viable supply is available. Good for prices.

​​​​​​Blown head gasket most likely. Tip.
I don't see XAB on the sticker but it has the rear spats.

More likely it has a cracked head or faulty oil cooler.

Default I think we’ll see from here.

Used car prices came back some in June according to the inflation report, consumer price index. Lumber has come down quite a bit. We now are going to see how much of the gains in prices are kept. I been actively looking for a 997 s and a few have drop in asking prices.
