996 getting close to 986 prices ?

@byprodriver the way I see it this sure beats gossiping about "Jenny in chemistry" on Twitter or facebook!

If anyone has popcorn left over there is plenty of entertainment in this thread - http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-parts-sale-wanted/54949-porsche-engines-sale.html

The way I see it....it will take some time but the 996 may recoup somewhat. These older air cooled 911s that lasted this long had to be maintained at some level. That means many dollars keeping up the service etc. Somewhere down the line, some (maybe us) will value these cars and pay a little to own one. With all the recent updates like electronic steering, pdk, etc, I cant see why.

I saw a air cooled 911 on fire a while back here in Tx. Every Texan knows it gets hot here but they still drive these cars here with no ac. Coolant is a step fotward!. But that is Passion I tell you.

By the way, who are the bottom dwellers? Smh

There's a thread over on Rennlist where a 996 owner is trying to trade his car for a 993, some real asshat responses but several that do make some interesting points. One linked an ad for a 996 for sale that seemed to border on desperation imo, maybe it would be of interest to someone here considering the jump.

Either 996 prices are rebounding or there are a lot of cars sitting around with no bids. Granted AutoTrader tends to be on the high side generally for Porsches because so many listings are from dealers. But 1999-01 Carreras north of 50K miles in private seller listings were going for some real bargains. I've emailed more than a few Ebay and craigslist cars to interested friends sold in the $11-13k range. At the end of the day water-cooled cars are only worth their engines and second hand 3.4's just aren't that much more expensive than 2.7's or 3.2's.

+1 And just wait a few more years until we start seeing what were $100K Panamera's going for under $30K...

They have "Branded" titles, very different valuation as a result.

I don't think TT prices are falling much though I have only been knowledgable on the topic since last January. 2001's sell for the least, but well maintained low mileage cars hold their values (in the 40's). The game is to try and find one that needs some work that you can get for a low price. It really depends the scope of the work and what the buyer is looking for in terms of condition.

996TT cars are in the 40K zone and seem too be holding really well .

I've seen 2001 with about 70k miles for 32k. 2002 and up are much more.but prices are low compared to other turbos.
