A Porsche is not a completely rational purchase. You can obsess over pricing forever. At some point you jump in. For me I prob overpaid for a 2017 911. But I got it and am enjoying it. People go on cruises, spend the money and it’s gone. They don’t obsess over the value of the cruise. If you want a car now buy it now before life passes by.
I hear and understand. I have never been able to buy a new one. But my dad told me at 16 yrs old, write down the car, Color, and take each paycheck, or money earned and put it in a box. Read the goal each time you put $ into it. Well 28 years later, without ever robbing my dream, for unexpected $ needs, I bought my first used 996. Discipline and never loosing the passion is what it took me. A regular guy. I improved each one (3) and now I have a 997 S. That’s my story. Lesson I was taught. It’s not what you make, it’s what you spend. Hard earned $ spend wisely, and never give up on your goal, or your passion. Sacrifices were many but in the end worth it for me.
I bought a clean, no bore score 997.1 C2S back in February with about 57k on the odo. When the seller brought it in for a PPI, the shop owner came out and tried to talk him out of selling it much to my chagrin. Lucky for me he already had his GT4 being delivered and went though with the sale and I couldn’t be happier. The car has appreciate already which is crazy, it’s only been 3 months since I bought it at the time of posting this comment and every time I take it to a meet I get asked if I want to sell.
I too bought a clean 56K mile 2007 997.1 Carrera cabriolet about a year ago for $36K. I have wanted a Porsche since I was 15 years old and finally purchased one, 40 years later. It was worth the wait!! It is a joy to drive.
This info is priceless! Helpful to everyone who is a Porsche 911 owner. Info helps determine to sell and upgrade or hold for continued enjoyment. My 911 story was 28 years of secretly saving until I could buy my first 996 base, and have since worked my way up to 997.1 S. It’s a journey of passion, but this type of guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks! Just found your channel. This is the hands down some of the most helpful content I’ve found to date as I start my journey toward purchasing a 997.1/997.2 .
Two things which I think will reverse: 996.1 will be more valuable and collectible than 996.2 991.1 will follow the same due to the NA engine vs the turbo in 991.2
Very nice video👏🏼. In the end you should buy it and enjoy the car. Don’t buy it as an investment, buy it because you like the car. My 992 increased in value but I really couldn’t care less to be honest.
Very True . Car is a very emotional buy . For me , it should just look good instantly, the lines , the curves , the headlights , the tail lights. Etc … It’s a work of Art . Next , the handling , the seating position , the engineering and the driving experience… These are the virtues that really matter to me . I have never considered absolutely any “thing” that I have ever owned as a financial investment. I like to experience and enjoy it . Not going to take anything with me anyways ….
Great info. packed into a short video. Well done and thank you. I’ve followed you for a while now. Happy to say I finally bought my 1st 911. A 2008 Cobalt Blue C4S manual.
Me too on the Cobalt Blue, I've noticed seems quite rare compared to other colours, my 997.1 C2S came with dark blue interior and Black factory rims,, looks n sounds great - I love it.
Every once in a while I start feeling like I might finally after a lifetime of hard work be able to get into a P car...then I come here and those feelings are crushed hard. I can only hope this impending recession will help temper prices somewhat. Of course, I am completely re-building a house so the money is going to good, if not as fun use. lol
@@BM-tx4grlol. I’m sure there is an army of “Me’s” out there. Haha. It’ll happen. I just didn’t want to be “that” 70 year old in a 911 😜. Mid 50’s now. All about life choices I guess marriage/kids/house/car accident and paralysis…you know, life 😬. You listening youngsters? Good luck to us all👍
I felt the same and kept at it. Also I was happy to get "less than" a 911 and S. So a base model cayman for me. Happy as a pig in 💩. Everything I ever wanted and I rip her up and down the roads near me
I hear you! Lots of us living parallel lives, and trying to make a responsible purchase. Problem I have is almost all cars are at dealers and not private party.
Prices have plateaued or even slightly droped now in Australia too (across all models and series). Spoke to Porsche new car and after salesman, they too have just started to see a small slow down. So the bubble maybe be just starting to deflate, but I don't think it wil pop as there will always be the desire to own a 911 (nearly all are collectable).
RE GTS pricing, I just bought a used 2019 with low mileage. My rationale for this choice vs an S or 4S was as follows. I was already settled on the 911 as my next car. As I looked at the performance comparison of the different models, it just seemed to make sense to me to spend the extra money on the car what would be the most fun on the road. The marginal price increase going up to the GTS seemed entirely justified whereas going from the GTS to the Turbo didn't (for me). Loving the car.
It’s PDK, ceramic brakes and the all wheel steering in white. I will be enjoying it for years…unless the itch to buy the targa gets too strong. I live where it never rains so that would be the ultimate for me.
Excellent as always. Detailed. Factual. Relevant to current market conditions. Your added personal point of views after presenting the data is an added bonus. Absolutely appreciate your videos.
991.1 GTS with low mileage is trending up. Especially the 2016 year GTS since its the last of the N/A cars. Could this one be a collector car long term?? Very possible
I've been looking for a 991.2 base Carrera for 3 months. The prices keep going up. I'm thinking I'd be better off ordering a new 992 base, that I spec out, would cost me about $15k more than a used 991.2. Does that make sense to anyone?
buying used probably doesn't make sense right now, since prices are still fairly high and they are likely to go down significantly over the next year. It is still a great time to sell! However, regarding the actual car, I think I would actually rather have the base 991.2 than the base 992
@@fourwheeltrader 991.2 Targa 4S here. Thanks in advance for that one, and thanks for your efforts with this information over the past two years that I've owned it. Only good news from you!
I looked at a few 997.1s which seemed good buys at about 28k-32k for a 911. But then you get into the bore score issues and ims stuff. Although shouldn’t really scare people off, there is a surprising amount of cars with bore scores or engines that have been “rebuilt”.. warranty’s don’t cover bore score so they are a mindfield when looking to Purchase, a lot of independent dealers will not sell 996s and 997.1… so I find it very interesting why they are increasing in value especially when you can get a newer cayman 981s/boxster without any of the engine issues! Seems a no brainer to me
Exactly the video I was waiting for. Just about to decide on what model I’m pursuing (the 991.2 Carrera T is my main focus). Let’s see what the trends state Cheers brother
The 1999 996 really should be counted as its own "thing," distinct from the 2000 and 2001 996.1s. It has the cable throttle, was handmade on the 993 assembly line, higher quality interior, manual latches, etc etc etc. They're also notable rarer. The prices seem to reflect this, as 99 cars are going for about as much as similar condition 996.2s.
If you’re considering ordering a Porsche, rethink your expectations. I had my new turbo GT delivered early November. Ready to go except the Burmeister amp. I have been told it may sit on the lot for more than 2 months awaiting an amp, and can’t release without it. So, it sits on the dealer lot till at least mid Jan.
When I grow up I want to be like you! That market analysis was fantastic and the infographics perfect. (It helps that it about 911s too. ) Thanks for this!!!
Just got this video recommended to me. Awesome analysis! We knew the manual 996 S models would go up but the 991 GTS was a shocker. I’m subscribed for more!
Great stats and video. I would say the trends in the 996 & 997 are because they are more affordable for most people trying to get into a 911. Like myself I was going to buy a 996 from out of state but it didn't work out so I went for a Boxster first. I will eventually get a 911 but for most people they are too expensive as well as maintaining for a 3rd car. Even if it's a daily driver(2nd car, wife has the 1st) you would have the maintainance which leads to the trend in the 996 4S trend. I live where we have a snowy winter so I would rather buy a 4S if I could. Just my 2 cents.
Casual observations of auction and classified sites suggest that PTS and more unique factory colors are bringing more money. Especially for low mileage collectible examples. I guess it boils down to rarity.
Do you believe the 991.1 all models will be collectors because they are the last of the NA? Also, since manuals are becoming rare how will that impact the 991.1 line as well? Thanks! Excellent info.
I do. I think when the 992 ages and that interior that we love so much feels antiquated, and everything new is electric or at least hybrid, The 991 will be the most popular other than the 992 GT3. It will be considered the last and greatest “classic Porsche”. The one NA that is somewhat affordable because GT3 prices will be absurd.
I am about to sell a 997.1 with 30000km on the spedo black metallic manual with some orginal options, in shape like new or even better,what would be a fair price ????
imo, the 996 turbos were underpriced for a LONG time.i just got a really good paying job and finally am over the 6 figure mark but i think i missed the boat on these cars. the only way to get an affordable turbo is to get an automatic which can still be had for under 50k with lower miles.
@@scottchelmford7136 the head lights aren't even an issue in real life! I know I got a bargain. Congrats on the job. Maybe hold out for an first gen GT4 in manual?

I’d love to see color demands too. We have a 992 4s Cab in Miami blue and it’s just soooo stunning and not that common. We paid whatever to have it just because, well you don’t see them everywhere. Just a joy regardless and I’m so happy we don’t have black white or silver.
I’m an older 911 guy. I’ve had 993 TT 996 GT3 997.1 GT3, 997.2 C2S, 50th anniversary, and now 991.2 GT3. Your Miami blue will command a certain premium for that color. It’s a great color and not easy to get. I’d hold on to that one
@@fourwheeltrader you have a fantastic channel and your data has helped me buy and sell a car both for pleasure and a profit. So I wanted to buy you a beer to say thanks.
How about they are really well optioned 911's that are far more streetable and don't have a "racing wing" that looks silly on the street. You want a track specialist=GT3. You want a well optioned street car=GTS. I could of bought a GT3. I didn't.
@@scottthompson5855 any enthusiast that could get a GT3 will do so. You can kit out any 911 to make it look like a GT3. What you can't get is the GT3 drive train, and in the 992, the front wishbone suspension.
I love my 996 c2 I bought it with 19k miles in 08 now I’ve got 41k on original ims bearing I also own a 07 RS4 both are very different and I’d hate to let go of either. But with the way things are going who knows our money is becoming worthless paper here in the US .
As always great insight!. Thank your for talking about 991.2 in such detail. When you talk about statistically confirmed, what type of statistical tests are you using?
Great video analysis. I’m in the market for the upcoming 60th Anniversary 911. What are your thoughts comparing it to the 50th without knowing the specs of the 60th? Knowing Porsche they will definitely introduce another winner. Cheers
Thanks so much for your analysis, super helpful. Can you answer the basic question, is it a good time to buy a base model if I plan to put miles on it? You advised an "enthusiast" to buy a high mileage car with a clean history...does that apply to say a base 997.2 Carrera with 35k miles? Is that what you mean by high miles or are you talking about cars with 100k miles?
Is buying a targa 4 vs a targa 4s make sense? There are just 20 targa 4’s built most years yet 500 plus targa 4s models but they cost $20,000 more with tax and license extra costs.
Owned a ‘99 996 cab as my 1st Porsche. It would have really held its value had I not crashed it! got my 2nd this month - ‘12 997.2 Turbo S. OMG so fast…. I figure 3k mi/yr combined with general inflation, and cost to own is pretty cheap. (Vs the Maserati I drove until 2019).
Love your vids brother!! However we just did 560 miles in a two day trip to the Tail of the Dragon, so the "Market" isn't getting my 991.2TTS any time soon :)
300K for the new GT3, it’s a great car I admit, but personally I don’t have that much money. So I have to spend that markup getting a C8, or Supra, or M4.
I'd never advocate intentionally pissing money out the window, but the fact is pure luxury goods like Porsche's and Rolex watches are not rationally based purchases. So. If you want it, have the means, and crucially... intend to keep it. Go for it. If you think a late model 911 or Rolex Daytona is an "investment," you're going to be sad.
In the current market (which will take many years of slow decline to come down) literally any new 911 and ESPECIALLY rolex at retail is a 100% smart and sound investment. You tell your rolex AD you want a datejust, you wait 3 months and pay $10,500-its worth $16,000 the second you grab the receipt. And these arent meme coins, it wont just fall one day because someone tweeted something. This IS the new norm for years ahead. Same with porsche, if youre lucky enough to have a dealer bless you with a 992 turbo-you just made a brand new BMW worth of profit. Now used cars or watches is a different story, but both of these luxury brands maintain value if purchased at fair market value. So youre wrong either way.
Do you exclude GT3 pricing? With the 992 GT3 selling easily for 100K over MSRP this would seem to skew the numbers when using average values? No matter, until ADM charges go away, the market for used should remain strong… if your willing to sell.
991.2 Cabriolet with 30,000 miles. Would you trade it for a 992 cabriolet or keep it? My Porsche s a daily driver. I intend to drive a 911 for the foreseeable future.
Hi in your knowledgeable opinion would it be a good/safe time to buy a 997.1 turbo with view to making money on it in the next 5 years and price guide for 2007 model as one has been offered to me
You missed the boat. 2 yrs ago those were $50K, now $80. When the mkt crashes they'll prob drop to $60 but will take 5 yrs to get back to $80. So if you buy now at $80, in 5 yrs it will be worth... $80.
I realize this was made a month ago. I have a lowish mileage 991.2 GTS cabrio. I offered it at 116K and had zero interest. This video would seem to indicate the exact opposite. Maybe the market bottom has fallen out in the last month.
@@terrylessmann2274 how much do you think is substantial? I’ve been waiting and saving since COVID started and can afford it now. If it’s a big drop then I’ll wait but if it’s a couple grand then I think my happiness might be worth it. Thanks for the reply

@@terrylessmann2274 nice sounds like a lot of fun. Do you think over this these cars will go up again being the last of the flat 6 and Porsche saying the will make the cayman a ev for the lower trims?
@@pabbip9 It will probably take at least 10 yrs for the 6 cyl effect to come into play. What we've seen the last 2 yrs with prices of used cars rising is historic and chances are won't happen again. Once the bubble bursts, it will take at least 5 yrs to recover due to the swing in the other direction from where we are now. Buy a 981 to enjoy, don't worry about it as an investment. They're lots of fun.

Do you believe the 991.1 all models will be collectors because they are the last of the NA? Also, since manuals are becoming rare how will that impact the 991.1 line as well? Thanks! Excellent info.
I do. I think when the 992 ages and that interior that we love so much feels antiquated, and everything new is electric or at least hybrid, The 991 will be the most popular other than the 992 GT3. It will be considered the last and greatest “classic Porsche”. The one NA that is somewhat affordable because GT3 prices will be absurd.
A price trend suggestion for you : the Ram TRX. I think the recent gas price will make these vehicules prices drop.
Good suggestion, thanks.
I am about to sell a 997.1 with 30000km on the spedo black metallic manual with some orginal options, in shape like new or even better,what would be a fair price ????
Just to be clear has the 997.2 gone down on price or has it plateau?
Just checked on bring a trailer (BAT).
Same car as mine: 2003 996 turbo x-50 similar miles regularly commands 80k-90k USD.
996 Turbo Mezger engines can be remapped comfortably to crazy power levels..
@@tserzz about 700hp-750hp with stock internals
imo, the 996 turbos were underpriced for a LONG time.i just got a really good paying job and finally am over the 6 figure mark but i think i missed the boat on these cars. the only way to get an affordable turbo is to get an automatic which can still be had for under 50k with lower miles.
@@scottchelmford7136 the head lights aren't even an issue in real life! I know I got a bargain.
Congrats on the job. Maybe hold out for an first gen GT4 in manual?

How are values for manual transmissions in comparison to PDKs?
I’d love to see color demands too. We have a 992 4s Cab in Miami blue and it’s just soooo stunning and not that common. We paid whatever to have it just because, well you don’t see them everywhere. Just a joy regardless and I’m so happy we don’t have black white or silver.
I’m an older 911 guy. I’ve had 993 TT 996 GT3 997.1 GT3, 997.2 C2S, 50th anniversary, and now 991.2 GT3. Your Miami blue will command a certain premium for that color. It’s a great color and not easy to get. I’d hold on to that one
damn it... sold my 997.1 C2S manual.... bought a 991.1 C2S PDK... hoping these hold and go up slowly as they are the last N/A
Thank you for your analysys and commentary. This is very interesting.
Thanks
Thanks a lot for your generous contribution. It's highly appreciated.
@@fourwheeltrader you have a fantastic channel and your data has helped me buy and sell a car both for pleasure and a profit. So I wanted to buy you a beer to say thanks.
GTS are in demand because they're the ones that enthusiasts who can't get a GT3 will go for
How about they are really well optioned 911's that are far more streetable and don't have a "racing wing" that looks silly on the street. You want a track specialist=GT3. You want a well optioned street car=GTS. I could of bought a GT3. I didn't.
@@scottthompson5855 any enthusiast that could get a GT3 will do so. You can kit out any 911 to make it look like a GT3. What you can't get is the GT3 drive train, and in the 992, the front wishbone suspension.
I love my 996 c2 I bought it with 19k miles in 08 now I’ve got 41k on original ims bearing I also own a 07 RS4 both are very different and I’d hate to let go of either. But with the way things are going who knows our money is becoming worthless paper here in the US .
Let’s go Brandon
a decent 997 carrera s manual was the car to have at £30k a few years ago, now they're 50k.
As always great insight!. Thank your for talking about 991.2 in such detail. When you talk about statistically confirmed, what type of statistical tests are you using?
Very comprehensive assessment, well done.
Do you have a market review for sls amg
Excellent data-driven approach!
I like your videos. Moreover, they are informative.
Very interesting. I would be curious to see the data on the Turbo / S. 👍🏻
Does anyone know if a new 911 is going for over msrp?
Seriously guys what better to go with the GTS 992 .PDK or Manual ?
Looking forward to the bubble ending!
Thanks for posting awesome videos time in and time out 💯 keep them coming
What do you think the 992 Targa 4S Heritage edition will do?
Great video analysis. I’m in the market for the upcoming 60th Anniversary 911. What are your thoughts comparing it to the 50th without knowing the specs of the 60th? Knowing Porsche they will definitely introduce another winner. Cheers
Love your content. Videos are so well made! Thank you!!!
Loved this analysis. Thank you for confirming my observations of the 991 T and GTS with data 😁
Thanks so much for your analysis, super helpful.
Can you answer the basic question, is it a good time to buy a base model if I plan to put miles on it? You advised an "enthusiast" to buy a high mileage car with a clean history...does that apply to say a base 997.2 Carrera with 35k miles? Is that what you mean by high miles or are you talking about cars with 100k miles?
I am surprised you didn’t include any turbos in this break down. Also the split between 997.1/.2 turbo for coupe or cab is HUGE.
The turbos get a separate video :)
Where do you get your data from? Retail listings or wholesale transactions? I would assume you are using retail data points but could you confirm?
Is buying a targa 4 vs a targa 4s make sense? There are just 20 targa 4’s built most years yet 500 plus targa 4s models but they cost $20,000 more with tax and license extra costs.
Great video with usable content! Thank you.
Brilliant video 👍 looking forward to the turbo and turbo s vid
Owned a ‘99 996 cab as my 1st Porsche. It would have really held its value had I not crashed it! got my 2nd this month - ‘12 997.2 Turbo S. OMG so fast….
I figure 3k mi/yr combined with general inflation, and cost to own is pretty cheap. (Vs the Maserati I drove until 2019).
GTS increase: the ego show off factor is higher with more letters behind 911 :-) - and of course it is a sweet ride.
Prices are ridiculously high. It's getting into Ferrari territory. I test drove a used GT3 selling for $200k and it's not worth it. Maybe $150k max.
Thank you!
Would it be possible to do an analysis on the AMG GT variants?
Impressive analysis, interesting data, and presented in a intelligible format. Great job!
Love your vids brother!! However we just did 560 miles in a two day trip to the Tail of the Dragon, so the "Market" isn't getting my 991.2TTS any time soon :)
Sounds like a great trip.
300K for the new GT3, it’s a great car I admit, but personally I don’t have that much money. So I have to spend that markup getting a C8, or Supra, or M4.
Awesome analysis as always! I was hoping you can do analysis on 2004 996 40 Jahre!!
I'd never advocate intentionally pissing money out the window, but the fact is pure luxury goods like Porsche's and Rolex watches are not rationally based purchases. So. If you want it, have the means, and crucially... intend to keep it. Go for it. If you think a late model 911 or Rolex Daytona is an "investment," you're going to be sad.
In the current market (which will take many years of slow decline to come down) literally any new 911 and ESPECIALLY rolex at retail is a 100% smart and sound investment. You tell your rolex AD you want a datejust, you wait 3 months and pay $10,500-its worth $16,000 the second you grab the receipt. And these arent meme coins, it wont just fall one day because someone tweeted something. This IS the new norm for years ahead. Same with porsche, if youre lucky enough to have a dealer bless you with a 992 turbo-you just made a brand new BMW worth of profit. Now used cars or watches is a different story, but both of these luxury brands maintain value if purchased at fair market value. So youre wrong either way.
Since you cant attain either at Retail that's moot. As for used or grey market... check back in a year and lets compare.
So. It seems like the general market of 911’s is still just going up no matter which model. The only difference is by how much?
will there be an electric 911 in the near future?
Did you ever think about doing a data science course? I’m ready to buy and learn.
Do you exclude GT3 pricing? With the 992 GT3 selling easily for 100K over MSRP this would seem to skew the numbers when using average values? No matter, until ADM charges go away, the market for used should remain strong… if your willing to sell.
Only Carreras are included. You can find the gt3 market update over here: ua-cam.com/video/vHJlUDCAr0Y/v-deo.html
991.2 Cabriolet with 30,000 miles. Would you trade it for a 992 cabriolet or keep it? My Porsche s a daily driver. I intend to drive a 911 for the foreseeable future.
Interested in turbo s market analysis, specifically 991.1 991.2 and 992
The Turbo market update is coming in a few weeks.
Patiently waiting for a high mileage 996.
Probably just gonna go for a high mileage cayenne turbo/s though.
You should do a G wagon video, seems to be a very interesting trend with them
I heard the G wagon market has peaked and is going down. Gas prices being a big influence along with the high inflation rate
You can order new G63 AMG for MSRP. Why the hell would any joker pay over? Wait a bit jokers
Why weren’t the turbos mentioned?
They will feature in a separate video.
What about GT3’s?
Have a look at the channel: ua-cam.com/video/vHJlUDCAr0Y/v-deo.html
Which Porsche model would you say is the best value for the price on new Porsches?
Great video and many thanks but Porsches are meant to be driven and serviced accordingly. To put them on ice for a return is a sin.
Can we get an update on 718 Spyder market? Low volume and prices still trending up
Coming up soon.
996 turbo S will be very much collectable soon.
996 Turbos are being remapped to immense power levels their Mezger engines are incredible and can comfortably power up.
which market is this US?
Hi in your knowledgeable opinion would it be a good/safe time to buy a 997.1 turbo with view to making money on it in the next 5 years and price guide for 2007 model as one has been offered to me
Typical Porsche buyer. Not interested in driving, only in making money.
You missed the boat. 2 yrs ago those were $50K, now $80. When the mkt crashes they'll prob drop to $60 but will take 5 yrs to get back to $80. So if you buy now at $80, in 5 yrs it will be worth... $80.
@@terrylessmann2274 thank u for this..problem is already one can’t fine at 60k
I realize this was made a month ago. I have a lowish mileage 991.2 GTS cabrio. I offered it at 116K and had zero interest. This video would seem to indicate the exact opposite. Maybe the market bottom has fallen out in the last month.
depends on where/how you listed.
Exterior and interior audit please
Everything is falling now. Nowhere to hide if you’re speculating and good news if you’re planning to acquire.
Man I wish I knew what was a good price to pay for 14 cayman s with 30k miles but everything online is all over the place
You're looking at mid-to-upper $50s. But wait a few mo and the price may come down substantally.
@@terrylessmann2274 how much do you think is substantial? I’ve been waiting and saving since COVID started and can afford it now. If it’s a big drop then I’ll wait but if it’s a couple grand then I think my happiness might be worth it. Thanks for the reply
@@pabbip9 $40-45K, so $10-15K. I do Wheeler Dealer cars (buy a car needing maint, etc, then detail and sell) but have been out of the mkt for 2+ yrs. Getting ready to snag some great deals cuz when the mkt crashes, it will be big.
@@terrylessmann2274 nice sounds like a lot of fun. Do you think over this these cars will go up again being the last of the flat 6 and Porsche saying the will make the cayman a ev for the lower trims?
@@pabbip9 It will probably take at least 10 yrs for the 6 cyl effect to come into play. What we've seen the last 2 yrs with prices of used cars rising is historic and chances are won't happen again. Once the bubble bursts, it will take at least 5 yrs to recover due to the swing in the other direction from where we are now. Buy a 981 to enjoy, don't worry about it as an investment. They're lots of fun.
