Have prices for rollers made any significant movement? Has anyone seen any change hands?

40th noticably more valuable? Or is the usability and wide body of the 4S enough to make it as or more expensive?

Asking and getting are two different things...

I have limited knowledge of the 40th anniversary edition. Other than low production numbers and unique color should they command a premium over the wide body?

The rarity appeals to some collectors and they also came with the X51 engine package, so to some, the answer is 'yes' as to value. I'm a fan of the early '99 builds (having a 02/98 build) that seem to have more of an unintentional scarcity and desirability than the programmed rarity of any of the anniversary models.

the 40 jahre does command a premium. When I was looking, a comparable condition 40 jahre was about $10k more than I paid for my C4S. I looked at a couple and really wanted one.
One odd thing about the 40 jahre is that it has sideskirts of the turbo but the rear bumper of the standard carrera, which kind of makes it look like it's sticking it's butt up in the air. It is a distinct look. Once you see it, tough to unsee.
Personally, I like it a lot. But I have heard people say they think it looks funny.

Will be interesting to see what this higher mileage 4s will ultimately sell for.. I have never bought or sold or even bid on anything on BAT.. but do these buyers believe there is a premium to the cars on this site? Seems that scouring the public market place on a 996 would yield a much better value?

Of course, but it's also a lot more work. I think some buyers with enough money just like the convenience of checking out a car online and buying it from your chair, without having to go to look at it in person, setting up a PPI, etc. Crazy but that's the appeal of BAT.

Maybe your comparison is faulty because you discuss the end of an era to the start of the new 996.1
It’s a better driver in every way faster/braking better /light/ more comfortable
plus there is enough uniqueness to make it a future/current collectible and I’m only talking pre 99 cars

it feels at triple digit speeds with the 0.30 drag coefficient. I’m going to build a motor for it. Right now everything is peachy with my engine. I just got a Carrera s 3.8 l air box and
some x pipes that I’m going to put on. Latter on I decided, I’m going to go for a 3.8, balanced blueprinted and
ported and polish heads, 5 angle valve job. This is still going to be cheaper than a $50 to $60k on a Carrera S.
