Prices Keep Drifting Up
#6901
It's almost like we have record inflation, record gas prices, a financial crash, and warnings of a recession or something!
Feels great to be back in a buyers market.
Also, this is how pictures should look on BaT

It's the pause that refreshes. They aren't making any more of these classics.

I'd be interested in a roller here in the near future.

Call me crazy. And I know many of you will but... the amber side markers are coming back in fashion.
When I see a car that has the clear side markers, I think something looks off. It sticks out to me. The amber is more era appropriate. Personally I own both and it's a cheap mod. Fun to change things up sometimes. But the full stock look of the 996 is really, really coming of age imo.
Anyone else experience this... yet?
Edit: I will say this is color specific. The clear side markers look fabulous on that red, but on the silver targa I think I would prefer the amber.

Mezger values will explode
This car here literally has the same motor as the 962/959/GT1
(very) Similar headlights, but the same freaking motor that won LeMans (seven times, and Paris-Dakar once)
That you can still buy this $250K motor inside a $39K Black Cab Tip Turbo is completely insane, and cannot possibly (indeed will not) last much longer
BUY!!!!!

Same 962/959/GT1 platform as in turbocharged & watercooled flat-six Mezger
Obviously the street & track Mezgers all vary widely over the decades by size and output, but the market will not substantively differentiate between 3.2 & 3.6 liters, nor between LeMans & Paris-Dakar
You get the point (I hope??), and why these cars will never lose value, right. Their progenitor 962 will be a $10M car forever. And they’re (the Mezgers) all heading inexorably in that same direction
Up!

I'm confused
I’ve been noticing the downtrend lately too. Almost seems to have happened overnight. I was watching C4S’s set records consistently on BaT and now not so much. I paid $37,500 for my 04 C4S, manual, 58k miles back in a November which I still feel good about, but don’t think I’m ahead quite as much today as I was 2 months ago.
I was a bit confused by this one recently. I feel confident 4-6 weeks ago that would have been $48-50.

Existentially true of every antecedent 911 generation. IE there are tens of thousands more 997 than 996, and 991 than 997, and so on…
996 is actually rare now on any modern Porsche spreadsheet. And every year there are millions more buyers, with trillions more dollars, bidding up Classic 911
Of which 996 is now one
