Don't be surprised if you see used Porsche prices on the rise across the board in Canada. With the Canadian dollar trading so much lower compared to the USD over the last year, I am surprised that many of the values up here have not adjusted yet.

I just purchased an 08 C4s lately, and I found that I paid in Canadian dollars, probably what it would have gone for in US currency, if located in the US. My feeling is that it should have been priced at least 20-25% higher, to be equal to what the guys in the US are paying. But, it wasnt just this particular car, it was most of the local ones.

I was watching Gen1 Dodge Vipers last year, and the prices seemed to quickly adjust when the CAD dollar started to fall. Maybe it is because they are easier to import to the US? Not sure, but if the US dealers start snatching up cars from the Canadian auctions, and US private buyers start looking up here too, then I think you will see the prices rise.

Now, if the Canadian dollar makes a rebound, then that wont happen. But, it doesnt look like that is going to happen anytime soon.

Anyway, that is just a prediction. Will be interesting to see if it comes true. That was a big part of the reason I decided to purchase my 997 now. I dont think they are going to get any cheaper for a long while, and could possibly rise.

 

Jamie, emailed you back re: your TT, thanks!

 

who is Jamie?

 

^RL'er to the north with TT for sale, just wanted to make sure my reply email doesn't get caught in 'junk mail'
How's the TT been Danny?

 

car is great so far...mostly sitting in garage with the negative 20 degree weather. too bad we don't have Alaska's current weather

 

^this weather does suck! but under 2 months to go...I hope, lol.
I just picked up a lightly modded B5 S4 to help deal with the winter blues

 

No winter blues here. This has been the best winter is years.

 

think we're no longer searching, dad made a deal on a 2002 tonight
thanks for all leads

 

awesome Rob. tell him congrats.
what colour and any mods?

 

thanks Danny,
will wait until keys are in hand to get into details but, a really last minute inquiry/look/deal, 2002 black, bone stock currently-some things will be changed

 

 

Still looking as well... Actually entertaining the idea of a 997 now as it seems 996 are pretty scarce and the price different between a good 996 and 997 are not too far off

 

A friend of mine traded a 2002 ( I think) TT at World Fine Cars on Kipling a couple of months ago.

 

It sold a while ago I believe

 

I bought my silver 02 tt from World Fine Cars in January....was it your friend's car? they told me it was traded in at their Mercedes dealer in Peterborough?
