This document has been posted on a T Facebook forum as evidence that the 992T is coming as a 2023 MY car. I don’t know the purpose of the document but note that it dates from April.

If so, I’ll be interested to see where they go with it, I guess it will be exciting and dear or a bit of a damp squib…

At last some good news re the T . I await my allocation call driving
Dumb question: what difference does it make being a 2023 model car? I gather the 992.2 is still a little way out.
The document was a spoof. I think the idea was more about the idea the t was coming soon when it isn't.
Ah. Got it. Thanks

Have my sights on one of these in the near future and there do seem to at least some for sale (in the teens). Spread as far as I can see is c73k-£84k. Prices seem to have held strong for the last 12 months. Is the widely held view they will remain strong as it’s such a low run model? Maybe return to the high 60’s for the cars tipping 30k miles?

I think these will always be quite desirable, but prices are uncomfortably high for my tastes.

Time of year and recent demand for everything will have contributed to this, but we definitely have some overdue economic pain to endure in the not too distant future, and the market for indulgent cars will be much smaller.

The new 992T, which I’m still told is later this year, could be more interesting, for those still in spending mode.

I know it that representative as it’s a low run model and enthusiasts will be interested but a Webuyanycar value of a white model up for sale is £66k and it’s in at £81k. I know there should be a gap, probably not that high.

IMHO like all P cars at the moment I feel these are 10-15% overvalued propped up by dealers , flippers and those wanting to maintain value in their fleet of garage queens!
But a correction will come, I remember in the late 80s when high end cars went from (not literally but )£100k one day to £30k the next. With interest rates set to rise to 3% and beyond its going to hit all those who have lived beyond their means with regards to high end cars and pcps ! It should have happened sometime ago but covid, supply issues and the war in Ukraine have compounded the crazy rise in values
The trade obviously can see it coming with the likes of WBAC giving such low offers compared to six months ago!

Not sure it's going to have much of an impact in reality. Owning a car currently on PCP, the buyer is protected from both interest rate rises (as they are fixed APR %) and residual value crashes (due to the guaranteed value element). More an issue for people buying their next car on PCP.

In your opinion, of course. People predict price crashes all the time. WRT values, trade in values are always lower than sale prices due to costs involved in briging the car up to standard and making a profit.

Mine told me July 2021! A fair bit has changed since then though to be fair.

I believe it was originally due in 2021, but emphasis was shifted to the GTS, which is far more profitable to Porsche than the base models.

Presume it will be a 992.2T

Could make sense as a Gen 1 end of line parts bin special. It is rumoured to be launching at a LA motor show event along with the GT4RS Spyder in November.

But the 992 T will be big, not narrow like the 911.2

..but does a T have to be narrow bodied? The 718T is not a narrower version of a 718

This is the one nagging doubt I have, I love my T for its nimbleness and haven’t had a go in a 992 yet but they look a lot bigger on the road.

As the last of the narrow body Carreras the narrow body is all part of the subtle charm of the 991 T.

Just had a 992 C2 for the past three days as a loaner and it didn’t feel that much bigger compared to my 718 cayman.
