SY X50’s breaking bad past $120K:

Wonder if the current BaT SY TT will break $100K??

My over-under on that one is $90K

Which is more irrational? $87K sticker price for a 996 Targa with zero miles that will be worth $16K in ten years. Or $68K market price for a 996 Targa with 10K mikes that will be worth $100K in five years??

I almost bought a 14k mile lapis blue 996 for $28k 5 years ago. And that was a high price back then. I would have ran that up to 40k miles by now. Instead, I bought a 48k mile triple black 996 cab for $18k and ran that up to 67k miles as it stands today.
The values thing has caused me to potentially drive my car a little less than maybe I would. That, and the town I live in is a grid with 25mph speeds and school zones. Not really fun around here.

It’s a crap shot buying unseen
996 manual coupes do seem surprisingly rare given how many were made. I had a tough time finding mine in December. I paid $14k to buy one sight unseen and it needed $10k in repairs to be road worthy. In my opinion, well worth it given the current market!
I NEVER see them on the road… I do see the occasional 996 cab and lots of Boxsters…
I’ve actually seen more air cooled coupes than 996 coupes recently.

Joking aside, I hope you're right. Not that I am planning on selling, but it's nice to think about these cars continuing to grow in value. And if the market drops out, I'll buy another! My avg cost over (2) 911s may be a more impressive number than 1!! lol

Let’s hope
A friend that I met at cars and coffee bought a 95 coupe stick with the basket handle. Silver light color interior. Anyway he got it for $48 2 and half years ago. I bet he can get $80 on bat for it. He won second place Saturday at the show. Hope our cars do that value wise.

I see 996 as the next 964. Former ugly duckling, eventually recognized and revered. Whole world HATED 964 and most of them depreciated into the low teens just like 996 did only a few years ago. Cheapest Porsche I ever bought was a 964!
993 never really deprecated much at all. I bought one almost brand new and actually made $6K selling it two years later. That is completely unprecedented, and quite insane. Still scratching my head over golden child 993.
FWIW I vastly prefer driving my 1999 over both previous generations. I honestly believe it’s a much better built car. Definitely much, much faster! And the 6TT is just off the freaking supercar hook. IMO the next Countach 🤑
Most us kids had that Countach poster on our walls, but to the “respectable” automotive world the Lambo was a laughing stock. Not anymore
