05 S Cab just hammered at $83,996 on BaT Silver/black 6-speed. 19K miles.

I was watching--made for some good viewing.

Well, there goes my "996tt fatigue" theory.

...but reinforces my "really small group of folks" theory. Winner is same guy who bought the 2003 X50 coupe with 58K miles on it for $67K on BAT two weeks ago.

Both are nice cars, but neither is worth the BAT prices paid IMHO. Of course in two years we might be looking back and wishing we could buy them at these prices...

rael

Agreed. After 3 of the last 4 on BAT did not meet reserve, I agreed with you.

That Cab is the highest priced 996TT ever sold on BaT by $8k. Take note, it was a Cab.

IMO, well maintained lower mileage 996 Turbos are just going to continue to go up in price.

Nice to see the prices still going up= use to get my peas put in a vice every time I said this would happen! lol.

Yeah, I seem to remember a handful of naysayers who opined that flat prices in the $30k range were what could be expected.

They're starting to become right in at the 40k line now. They will be a 50k car in the next 5 years. The market has 'flooded' with them lately which has slowed the price increase but its great to seeing the increase is still there whether it is a slow one. People keep asking more and more for them which has been helping as they've been being sold. I know not fast but to me that is ok bc I am a patient person when it comes to selling. I know if I wait it will sell to the right person.

I'd say it is very difficult to find a decent manual coupe Turbo for $40K these days... Sure, every once in a while someone snags one from a seller who hasn't paid attention to pricing, but that's not easy to find.

Otherwise, $40K is typically the realm of a high mile car, or a tip, or accident history, or a terrible color combo, or rough cosmetics, or some other significant negative. Even a $45K price target is tough these days.

I'd put realistic buyers budgets for 6-speed coupes at:

• Under $40K if you are waiting for a sellers mistake car, or carfax blems, big cosmetic issues, really high miles, etc.
• $40K budget for a mostly clean (but likely needs a few things), higher mile car.
• $45-48K budget for a clean, sorted, cosmetically appealing driver with no deferred maintenance and less than 50 or 60K miles.
• Over $50K for something lower miles or a particularly appealing car.
• Over $60K for something that one might think of as a future collectable.
• Over $70K if your flush with cash, don't mind overpaying, and see something you really like on BAT
