997 Turbo prices
Discussion
i was looking for a low mileage 996 Turbo recently and found prices to be extremely buoyant.
I made a couple of offers on vehicles up for sale privately but the owners would not budge.
I ended up looking at what i would get for my money and stumped up the extra for a 997 Turbo instead.
I felt i got far more for my money with a 997TT.

Well from where I'm sat the prices really are falling through the floor for 997's , whereas 996 TT seem to be holding there own
Yes i agree 100% and my purchase is to provide me with a car to keep and drive daily rather than making an investment so the smart money went on a 997.If i was looking at buying to drive for a year at weekends and then sell then you're right,a 996 would suffer far less depreciation.

Just been trawling through eBay & piston heads and it really does seem like 997 TT prices are really really low on the other hand 996 TT are starting to really hold there own ( for good examples of course ) .
what do you call low ?cheapest manual car under 30k miles is £41k and still 8 years old.
the cheapest OPC car sub 30k miles is again 8 years old but £48k
I don't call these prices really really low for a car I would actually want to own and not some high miles tiptronic.

If you go on eBay some CARS are down around the 30k mark
If you are talking about 997 turbos being down around the 30K mark they really are the poor end of the market with 'wraps' or over 100K miles or both.To buy anything that resembles a good one i would say 38K plus is needed (unless you're in the trade or getting a 'mates' deal).

The market seems flooded with 997TT , a lot less 996 TT on the market .
I would imagine the reason for that is the release of the 991 means many are upgrading,whereas the 996 markets buoyancy meansmany owners want to hang onto them and are enjoying depreciation free porsche motoring.

I'd have said the opposite. Have been following prices for a year and sure they have fallen a little, but hardly 'through the floor'.Still looking at low 40's for a food av mile, reasonable spec car. They are holding much better that 996Ts did.
When I bought my 996 C2 in late 09 I was considering a 996T then. At the time 02/03 cars (i.e 7 or 8 years old) were £27-30k. Today good 7 or 8 year old 997Ts are £40-£44k.
I'd agree though that the gap between good 996Ts at £25-30k vs the 997T range will close. Its hard to think of a reason why you would choose a 996T over 997T, I would have thought that gap will close to around £5k once age is no longer relevant and its just about mileage/condition.
Will floor price of 996Ts shore up 997T prices or will the volume of 997Ts put further downward pressure on them ...
