on the 996 generation the engine is the same. The differences I know are wider body, turbo brakes, heavier, awd. On the 997 the C4S gets the more power. So what differences I am missing , or don’t know about. Insights will be appreciated.
BAT bidding accross the board looks to be pretty strong. Don't know how well sorted the cars are but early bidding is suggesting there is still strong demand for the 996.
Quite frankly, as long as the car is well sorted, it should be. The 996 is the best bargain on the Porsche parking lot any way you want to slice and dice it. Imho, a well sorted 996 C2 with 80k miles should be going for upwards of $60k today.
There is no guesswork on the car. We know what breaks and we know the preventative solutions, all of which are reasonably priced versus later model 911s.
two days ago a 4s didn’t sold bid to about $40 the car didn’t had oil pressure so buyer backed out. He wasn’t penalized, i met a few people that have gotten burned by bat purchases. Anyway you stated over $60k for a well sorted C2. You can get a good car at $30, just see a few listings on Facebook 986&996 buy and sell and low mileage cars compared to the 80k miles that you were describing. Also this week a couple decent cars went for $25k plus fees. I would love for your statement to be true, but at this moment in time is not. Cargurus, cars.com etc. A bunch other places were you can see decent cars. Yes we all know know what to look for, what needs attention, etc, etc, etc. The priced on the pics below is what they asked I’m pretty sure if the want to sell i would offer less with an instantaneous earnest money via Apple Pay, etc. Low miles, upgrades. Good 4s for $42 27k miles $48. $30k

Not certain what you are arguing, but love ya man.

im not arguing I’m just saying prices are not that high. Love ❤️ you too. Im inclined to think that the turbo has a better chance of appreciation. These are yesterday’s results bat. The aero kit $31k, the turbo cab, triptonic, 119k miles $50k. I feel Our fellow rennlister from NY that recently sold his orient red IMHO did not got enough for as much as he had in the car. That car was a perfect example of what you were referring to as well sorted and with good modifications as bonuses.
He is saying in his opinion prices should be higher. He is not asserting that 80,000 mile 996's are actually selling for that much.
if anyone believed this is true they should be putting money in it. Not any different than the $10k and $5k i put in apple and Microsoft respectively in 2009, numbers are black and white and don’t lie. That $15k combined investment is worth over $2 million today. It is what it is, some are sinking a lot of money into crypto, I’m putting money in the stocks and business i believe are the future. Nursing homes, cementeries, funeral homes, elderly health care facilities, to each his own, but numbers will always be black and white.

High demand
I’ve heard people are dying to get into those places.

Funeral homes, cementeries, nursing homes, healthcare are 24/7 business that are not going to go away because of technology. The average American is getting older. There are a bunch of communities for 50 and older people. Those are not low income housing communities. Hell God knows maybe in 20 years or a bit more I finish in one of those country clubs for old fokes. As long as the have a bar or social hours I’ll be fine.
Im inclined to think that the turbo has a better chance of appreciation.
Absolutely agree. Can't figure out why Turbos are lagging. you would think that the excitement around the C4S would translate into more excitement with the Turbo.
I can tell you if I were shopping for a turbo It would be a 997.1. The 996 Turbo is great too. Beautiful cars just a shame they didn't get the heckblende really. I've actually had my eye on a 991.1 C2S sport design atm.
