No one is selling 996 futures that I know of. Although IMO that bet would be as close to a sure thing as there ever was. Kinda like “Apple in 2009” 🤑

Admit it, none of these is as raw LeMans fun as a 996 Carrera. And hence this thread.

bdronsick / bmdaia — singlehandedly driving up 996 prices all over the world

Edit: if anything is close to a Le Mans car, it’s the Carrera GT because it more or less contains the engine of a Le Mans race car, except that it never went to Le Mans. And the cockpit is very similar to a 996 of course!

Ferry Porsche is driving up 996 prices all over the world. Check, he did the exact same thing to every other 911 type before 996 too.

Bdron, can't wait for you to launch a YouTube channel. You are a hoot.

While the mathematical probability of two Vesuvio 1999’s residing in one U.S. state is incalculably low, I am sad to say that is not my car. Mine is Early 1999 Build C2 (Litronics notwithstanding). That one listed on BaT today is a late 1999 C4. But still what are the chances..

AND he’s only 1-hour away from me. I should photograph our two Vesuvio’s together. If that doesn’t destroy the Euclidean universe as we know it.

So here is the trend view from BAT for 996s over the last 2 years (under 100K). I expected to see more of a visible increase in prices. This view seems pretty flat except for this year perhaps there is a bit of an increase visible. Too bad they don't provide the data, else we could create some other views.

1 Arctic silver
2. leather black interior
3 Aero kit
4. Sports exhaust
5. Short shifter
6. Aluminum interior package center console, center bezel
7. GT3 wheels
8.Hardtop
9. non smokers package
10. alum a look handbrake and shifter
11. SS rocker panels
12. L&N solution
13. PCCM + I have removed CDR23
14. Dual turbo tailpipes
15. Das shield
16. new car cover

What should this sell for on bat?
