I really hope that sells close to that price.

Purely selfish as that would give my 63,000 mile 2003 Targa a bump.

 

91-05 NSX's are skyrocketing and only 7421 were produced. Yet, there are roughly the same number for sale at any given time as 996 3-pedal coupes (non-turbo, non-targa, non-gt3, etc).

 

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

 

All bets are off with pricing once the mileage is that low. Collectors will push values to even more irrational ranges with examples like that.

 

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??

 

Whoa

 

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.

 

996 is the new 993

 

I bought mine in January. I really feel that I hit the jackpot. 6 months into it and more than 5,000 miles awesome. I bought a driver not a garage queen, all I did was a 20 minute FaceTime session, car cold start, etc. Also the car was driven around. Due to ice storms the arranged transportation companies wouldn’t pick it up because it was in a small town in Wisconsin. Anyway I got $500 extra to go get the car. I spent a total of $330 getting the car home, I drove it 1,300 miles. As of today and just needing to fix a bent wheel , after also paying Texas registration and sales taxes, I have less than $20 on my car. This has set a bad precedent for me because I’m looking for another one and can’t find one that makes economic sense. I’m also hunting for a 07-09 Carrera S.

 

Now you've stepped in it!

 

literally...

 

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

 

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

 

You could pick up a 993 for a pretty good price in 2004/5.
