Default 996/997 Prices Hit New Low

This is good and bad news. I was considering a newer 911 and started checking prices again. I was surprised that the latest Porsche lawsuit caused this much of a price drop. Good news is I can afford a much newer 911, the bad; my 2003 C4S is now junk bond status. For example:

Porsche dealer list price
2006 C4 low mileage $39,000

2003 C2 low mileage $25,000

Sucks for some of us but great news for others.

That would be good news for me. Just hope after I buy prices start going up.

There has never been a better time to buy, I just picked up a 04 TT with 36,000 miles for 53K and the original MSRP was 162K. Real estate has turned and the car market will follow soon, get shopping if you are serious.

KK - what numbers are you quoting? According to the KBB site my car is worth as much today as I paid for it 3 years and 25k miles ago.

Anyone have a Black Book?

KK I don't think just pulling 2 cars out of the blue means the whole market has dropped. Many different factors can make certain cars lower than market. I have been looking at 997s very closely for the past 6 months and have not seen a drastic drop in prices since the lawsuit. Mostly just normal depreciation.

You can use theirs at link below. You will get an immediate value via email. To turn things around on them, I have also used it to check the price of the cars they have listed. They seem like friendly folks. I almost bought an 05 CS from them.
