996 prices

[RT]

So dear folks in the know with crystal balls

Any idea what's likely to happen to the price of my 2002 C2 996 with 18k miles in absolute mint condition?

Been offeered a very good shout from a dealer to buy it, but having been burned when I sold my 930 before the rise I am a little hesitant...

Just the regular 996 C2 in polar. Hmmmm..

Thanks

Lord? You have another view?

Been offered £26k.

It's quite a good bid I think.

I sold a 11k miles 930 cab for 29k a few years ago - so have been there and done that!!

Thanks for the views.

I tend to agree that the 996 is underrated. I love the thing. Even the looks have held their own and maybe even improved a little with age. Mines a facelift so no fried eggs.

Also benefits from sports chassis, full carbon, Bose, polar, PSE and a carrera aerokit from new.

I guess the question is whether it's going to ever be worth significantly more than 26k....

Well - after some deliberation and talking to a few more dealers I decided to 'bite his arm off' - so it's sold and replaced with a nice 987.

It's up for sale in the OPC network - and is a stunner if anyone is after the ultimate 996 C2.

Whether it will every be collectible, time will tell.

I think it will be very interesting to see what happens to 996 prices. I think they are kind of rising for C2's and the late C4s's but slowly, wonder if they will be like the SC and people always prefer the later 997 model ( or 3.2 back in the day) or if people start to appreciate the headlights and the way they are reasonably simple to run and maintain, or maybe the engine wows will always curb prices........I would have paid up to £20k a few months ago when I was looking for a 911

I agree - it will be interesting to see.

As I said I 'lost out' on my 930 when I sold that before the rise - but with this one - who knows. Maybe a few colectors will value them high enough.
