Anybody into startups? How about 996Coin, all we do is trade ownership shares in 996s, we never actually own, ship, or maintain anything. Kinda like Bring a Trailer, auction cars without ever taking the risk of buying and reselling. We'll tell our neighbors that 996Coin is the hottest currency around, they'll all buy, we'll make a fortune. If you have a 996 you can immediately start selling shares (for a small nominal fee). I'll volunteer to be the blockchain administrator, and moderate transactions (he-he!). The perfect OPM startup (Other People's Money). We won't even have to deal in real 996s, we'll just create virtual cars in the system and nobody will ever know. Then all we really have to do is count-de-cash. Sound good?

Based on how well my Porsche 996 videos are doing, I believe there's a lot of interest in this "affordable" 911 model. I've been trolling Instagram too using hastags like #996 and #Porsche996 and there's lots of love out there.

certainly agree with you. What's your interest in following the 996. Are you looking to buy, trading, or sell? Just curious. Seems that there is a lot of posting of BAT sales and excitement around it from quite a few folks. Most 996 owners are happy prices are going up but don't follow the 996 market so intently.

Keeps you out of trouble unless you are an impulsive buyer.

BaT is a great place to sell with high knowledge, and to buy with low knowledge. Not ever vice versa IMO.
And Type 996 bounce is a decade late, but inevitable regardless of temporal economics.

The Bat website has each data point presented on a graph. Would need software to read that site every day, export or save to Excel or a database, and then track changes day to day or week to week. And then use market data across dealers, cars.com, autotrader, etc.
Come to think of it, that’s what CarMax and others like it do all day long. It’s actually their business model and why they make money. Of course, they also pull other data and try to correlate ups and down to take advantage of market fluctuations week to week, season to season, etc.

Cool. We certainly need cheerleaders for the 996. I am a big one. Keep the momentum going. I was serious about starting a 996 index. Manheim has one for used car prices. Check out their website. It's a very helpful economic indicator that I will refer to from time to time.
End of the day, we have a kick *** sports car (some) bought at the bottom of a curve. Mine at a much younger age than anticipated because it always felt out of reach. Out of reach pricing may be happening now. What's not to love?

I really started this thread because as 996 prices began to rise as 2021 began, many people were in denial and continued to write off higher prices as one off sales, or because of the particular color, or because of the low mileage. I wanted to document enough data points to show that its an across the board move higher that can't be explained away as one off transactions. I think that's clear to everyone now.
