Three Wheelin'
and I might add if you think SoCal is different, it's almost normal compared to SF Bay Area 
That being said, I purchased my Seal Gray Coupe in San Diego as I wasn't having much luck finding gray over black here in the Bay Area.
As others have stated, there is huge market and supply of cars in Southern California. Makes sense, it's a top 3 market and very superficial (no offense to our SoCal members) so lotsa nice cars for sale!

>> If you are objective prices on these cars have been pretty static for at least 2019.
The only real outliers have been cars with crazy low miles or particularly unique colors.<<
Yep. If the car has something that makes it a bit unique, it will still sell well. These 996 turbos had the usual spring/summer bump up but not the gains like recent years and now prices have softened. Sellers are still asking higher prices but run of the mill turbos aren't selling. As someone who has been watching the market almost daily, I am still seeing so many of the same turbo cars listed for 4 months or more. Look at the 996TTs that have been on the for sale board here for a long time. BAT usually brings a price premium but even those prices have had a downward trend since the latter part of August. There isn't much demand for cabs, tiptronics and cars much above 60k miles unless they are really priced to sell.
The LA one mentioned above (https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sf...960810681.html) has been bouncing around a number of the popular car selling websites since spring.

If prices have "remained flat", it's because the cars you see on offer are the Cabs and/or Tiptronics and/or high miles, and the "flat prices" have those examples averaged in. Low mile 6 speed coupes are not entering the market as often as they were 3 years ago, and if they are, the prices are higher than they were then.

I think you contradict yourself in this post, highlighted by the bolded portion (emphasis mine).

Anyone familiar with this one in Omaha? A guy I work with is interested.

Seems like a decent setup w/ good parts. For a few bucks more, mine is nicer (though I am biased
) and has black interior!

Hi. Do you guys think this ‘08 Turbo Cab with 60K miles is worth $54K although he says all reasonable offers will be considered? Could be something...

The black cab was very nice. I did have a ppi and the only thing lacking was a broken boot in the front, but other wise in great shape. Very solid seller as well.

Another one in Phoenix although tip and cab, but I like it. Looks really clean and well taken care of.

Second gear pop-outs you very rarely hear about any more, as mentioned, it seemed like the cars that had that potential issue have already been addressed.
Coolant lines can and do pop, but it's not a catastrophic failure (unless you spin the car behind you on the track), and the popped coolant pipe can be re-epoxied without pulling the engine. I'd much rather have a car that has never had its engine pulled than one that was pulled and welding by an unknown shop doing unknown quality work. If your planning on lots of track days, yes, it's an important upgrade. Otherwise, no signs of leaks, no worries.
Cosmetic condition, inside and out. Fully sorted boost lines and clutch mechanism. Not hacked with the wrong upgrades or old upgrades that are no longer relevant. Refreshed items such as coils, plugs, fuel filter, brakes, rotors, shocks, tires, upgraded wheels if your into that, a modern, top quality exhaust if your into that, etc.
