Default Magnus bought a 996

Granted it's a GT3 (2004). Anyone think it will have a positive effect on 996 resale values?

Pretty soon, someone will post that MW needs a shave, haircut, clean clothes and a shower. Oh, and he's a terrible unsafe driver. Because Rennlisters love to judge other people.

a "few" 911s. LOL!!
Let's see if he starts praising the 996s, then possibly a positive impact on 996s.

Considering the cars he's driven, buying a 6GT3 is a statement.

6gt3 prices were already going up, the GT cars are in a different category than regular 996s and even Turbos due to sheer production volume. I doubt this has any direct impact on anything outside the 6gt3 market.

Maybe eventually, 996 valuations increase, but that'll only be when they become "vintage" and the hysteria around the IMSB subsides.

I have a strange feeling this will not effect me or the value of my 996 in anyway shape or form. Am I crazy to think that way?
