High miles, but it sure looks nice and I'm sure Macster took great care of it!

2003 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe with service records - $39000
This is a well kept clean example of a 996 Porsche Turbo
It's a clean title vehicle
Manual transmission
160K miles
Maintenance done at the Porsche dealer
2 owner

 

I don't know if $39K is the right #, but we all know is that is one well maintained car!

 

This is extactly what I have seen.

I will add that the 997.2 Turbos are really showing signs of a major price drop in the near future. No Mezger and no manual is starting to take its toll.

 

Does the 997.2 Turbo engine have any racing heritage?

 

Plus I believe first gen PDK which I understand wasn't as good as the current one.

 

Sort of yes and sort of no. The 9A1 engine in the 997.2 Turbo is the bare basis of the racing engines used now but it is in no way a racing engine the way almost all Mezger engines are. You can use a 997.2 Turbo on a track no problem but the current crop of engines in the 991 models are far more capable. Better oil scavenging, heat dispersion, etc.

 

Correct, the first gen PDK is considered by most to be "slow" compared to the current version.

05 Turbo S Coupe w/ 133k miles.

 

I am a subscriber and I read that same article. I think their valuations were utterly wrong, I considered writing them about it. They go against Hagarty, and nearly most recent sales data points.. I agree with you amigo!

58k 02, doesn't indicate X50. Few mods, low miles. Prices definitely moving up.

 

I found that it's a tough market right now for a 996tt buyer. I have viewed more than a dozen of these cars over the past 2 months from up and down the West coast to as far east as Denver.. I can say that I found the mid mileage 996tt's that were in fair to excellent condition to be priced a good 5-10K above KBB... 50-60k miles in "just OK/needed work" condition were high $40's... and the very nice, low mileage cars were asking mid $50's and more. My offers of $46 and $49K for reasonable mid mileage cars (that still needed some work) were not accepted. Nor were my offers of 52K and 53k on more pristine, low mileage examples... (still non-ceramic brake/non-X-50). I finally got tired of flying/looking and settled for a cheaper fixer upper... this is where KBB did seem to be reflective of the market; 100k mile fixer = $30K.

 

I agree. I looked at quite a few cars. Ended up buying out of state and I hope it's as nice as everyone has said it is when it gets here. I ended up spending a little more than I thought I would, but the mid-mile cars are the hardest to pin down, like you said.

 

KKB values mean nothing. These cars are now desirable and on the verge of being bonafied collectables. KKB does not know how to calculate for that.

As is was mentioned in other posts. Hagerty's price guide is much more accurate because it is based on actual sales and auctions.

 

Those prices! Asking prices surely seem to be way up.... 4 months ago I bought mine: '03 Midnight Blue w/Graphite Gray and Carbon, 35k miles, no X50, no PCBB, no stories, one owner, excellent condition, 3 keys, all owner's manuals & service records, even the full set of DVD's for the PCM2 - for about $48k.

 

I believe a previous reply stated that non Mezger 996's are still depreciating but I'm seeing just the opposite, especially with the 996 C4S. I believe they've bottomed out with depreciation and good cars are still getting decent dollars considering all the bad press they've had.
