Good luck with that. Hope you're not in a hurry because there won't be any whole mkt price drops until the bubble bursts, whether that's by readily available chips or a stock mkt crash / interest rate hike. The chip shortage is still 6-9 mo out (although you're starting to see dealer inventories increase). I saw a '99 Box with low mi and a TIP for $15.9 last night. Holy Crap!
The '14 Cayman S that I sold 3 yrs ago for low $40s is now worth $55-59. Heck, even base 981s are mid-40s now and "worth" more than that CS. The C4S that I helped my friend sell late last summer for low $60s is now going for $70. After I sold his car, he wanted me to help him buy a 987.2 Box S. This was mid-fall time frame. I said I'd start looking but chances were our best bet was to wait until winter for the best price. A wk later I found an '11 Box S manual with 17K mi that he bought for low $40s. Good thing he bought it because the prices continued to rise over winter and now that car would be $48K.
The good news with paying $12K for a 90s Box is it won't drop much even if the mkt corrects. The 996 is the hot mkt now and 986 Boxs will follow in their wake. Both have probably hit the bottom of the depreciation curve. Looks like the 997.1 is the next mkt to heat up.
