Most if the time you will see stupid prices on the auction sites, especially if you have a bidding war going. I have watched several cars go for far more than they should, even with bore scoring. There seem to be a lot of first time buyers registering and buying on the auction sites which leads me to believe that they are not necessarily well informed about what they are buying. Even cars without the IMS being replaced are selling for close to what cars with IMS bearings replaced are going for, and that seems to be another indicator of uninformed buyers. Part of the other problem with the auction sites is the peanut-gallery cheerleaders that try to convince everyone that 996s are unicorns that will be disappearing from the market, which is stupid as PCNA sold thousands of them. The dealers are also trying to push the market with ridiculous prices on both 996 and 997 cars as well. The prices for the C4S and 40AE cars are getting to the point where I could (and would) just spend another $10K and get a decent air cooled car.
A few weeks ago I found a 2002 911 C2 with 104K on it for $19K, which I thought was relatively fair. If you look for private listings, there are still people trying to sell them for reasonable prices. With private sellers, you have an opportunity to get the car checked out thoroughly; with the auctions, you have to take what the sellers says as reliable as it is difficult to get a PPI with a 7-day auction. And if the PPI comes back clean, you are still looking at paying a premium, especially if the seller happens to mention in the auction comments something like "an interested buyer just got a PPI and found no issues".

Also, not just thousands, but tens of thousands of 996s - over 175,000 - were produced. I appreciate the enthusiasm for the generation, but some of the cheerleading is a bit much.

Ehh. Have to see the options sticker. There was a guy selling replica spats on eBay and the 996 Facebook groups not too long ago

Doh, my apologies, I am looking for the Alien looking seats (sorry thought they were standard on the GT3).
