Porsche classic bubble

[gflyons]

I'm looking at buying my first classic, and am favouring a Porsche 944, 928, or 968.

During the 18 months I've been looking (yes, I realise that's a bit indecisive,) I've perceived a sharp uptick in prices - are we seeing a bubble, and is this across the whole classic market or just for Porsche?

There are still plenty of reasonably priced standard version front-engined Porsches for sale, so don't despair. It's the rare special edition models that have gone silly.

Depending on your budget I would suggest 944S2, any convertible or Turbo, 928S4 or any 968. A nice low mileage manual car in any of these varieties will at least hold their value. Pick of the bunch for me 968 Sport.

Happy hunting!

Yep, that matches my list, though 968 club sports have gone a bit silly.

A good 928 s4 is now above my budget, but the 944 s2 is achievable... just. I'm avoiding the turbos as I'm not planning to thrash it and maintaining a turbo could get pricy.

Just buy a £10K Boxster S. Far nicer to drive than most if not all old 911s and it won't be full of rust or have 50s ergonomics.

I have considered that, but they're ubiquitous and I'm looking for something that bit different.

I'm pleased you agree.

Still waiting to hear the op's budget.

Up to 10K.... unless my wife finds out, in which case it becomes about 5K
