Its simple economics, supply and demmand. Porsche has produced more cars in the last 7 years then they have at any point in their history. I've seen MINT condition 2002 911 Turbo's selling in the mid $50K's , a depreciation skirting the 50% mark after less than five years...crazy, that was considered an exotic at one point and now $50K won't buy you a CaymanS, and X5 or a lemon Mercedes.
You are so correct, some pca members and I were talking out at the local track the other day about the depriciation of the 996T. there was a guy that bought a new cayman s for $60K off the lot with 2xx something miles on it and a guy would just bought an 01' turbo with 10,xxx miles on it for $70K. who's getting more bang for the buck, it just doesn't make sense to buy new nowdays or really ever in my opinion. i'd rather get a gently used porsche at a 50% discount than a brand new one at more than msrp.
