Because Yogi said he bought his car on eBay, I took a new look there. Haven't looked in years. But found some interesting asking prices on C4S. Wow, they are really high prices, is this just fishing or are these sellers hoping somebody will offer $10K less than the asking price? Below these examples are all 4S. There are other 996 listed that seem more reasonable, but 4 years ago the 4S had asking prices in the $25-$30K range , maybe $35K. Are these prices real or is this just eBay noise?

I'm telling you man! The CovidTax is real! I don't see these prices coming down much from these either. Now that the internal-combustion engine is going the way of the Dodo. Makes what I do more valuable I guess.
Yogis car would have been closer to $12K two years back.
Now $15K seems like a pretty good deal.
Prices have really jumped since I bought my 50K miles 996.2 back in 2017 for $20K.
I'll preface this by saying that the C4S is an amazing car and I've spent a good amount of time in one but I really don't understand why the prices are much higher on them than other variants. I read somewhere that it was the most produced 996 so there is plenty of them out there. I love the wider body and can appreciate the bigger brakes but I don't think those two would justify such a big premium. In some areas AWD is a plus but with so many people not even driving these cars in inclement weather it's not really a benefit. In my eyes at least, when I look at a 911 I want a rear driven sports car with light feeling steering and ability to row my own gears. LSD is a plus. I think the limited edition cars or those with an Aero package should be fetching those numbers but often they don't. Oh and the Targa needs more love too!
It's the wide body....It cost more when new vs narrow body and that margin still exists today. Look at 993 nb vs wide body, its a 2x factor minimum. The market likes what the market likes, can't fight it.

Agreed. I think were near the bottom on these cars. I hope to step my way up to a wide body 996 or 997. In the meantime Ill put some spacers on the wheels to give it a better stance.

If they had made a 996.1 wide body without the reflective strip and rear bumper vents... I think that would have been a really good looking car.

Widebody 993 might be 20-30% price premium, pretty similar to the 996.
Personally, I like the 996.2 in wide body. I think the turbo style headlights look best with the wide hips. I also love the simple bathtub shape of the 996.1 with its rounded headlights and narrow rear.
