Fall is a good time to sell usually, but if not sold by end of october, hold on to it till April. winter is never a good time to sell a convertible (except jeep wranglers). Spring is better right after tax season.

But this is also now changing into a buyers market. a year ago it was a sellers market. Whatever you do though, dont expect to get what you were seeing them sell for a year ago. Consumer spending is already on the downward trend in part because of interest rates but still contributed to pandemic & supply chain issues. October is usually when people also start to set aside money for Christmas.

Long term, I think the 986 will stabilize in 2-3 years and then start to hold steady for a few more years after that. The average price for the average 986 will prob end up around the $11-$12k range, maybe a little lower.
