911 values summer to winter

[Tanvir]

Hi

I am looking at 911 cabriolets, not that many about at this time of the year, but a couple that that I have seen look to be priced well, how much more can I expect to pay for similar cars come spring / summer if I hold out?

Thanks

Tan

If you like a car buy it. There maybe a few more about in the spring, but there'll be more buyers and prices with strengthen (due to the rising competition).

I bought mine just after Xmas. There were 8 997.2 cabs sitting around the OPC network at the time and some had been sat there a while. I think OPC refuce the price of old stock every month as they don't like to hold cars for long. It's at that point you can strike a bargain. Good luck, buy one, they are brilliant on a crisp winter day as long as you have heated seats and it sounds amazing with the top down

Exactly, if the spec is what you want and the price is right then get it bought!

Drop-tops of any marque will always, inevitably have greater demand once the first dry, sunny days of Spring arrive. Standard.

Major factor is that a lot of the major dealer groups have a 90 day holding period so in Oct/Nov they don't want to be taking soft tops into stock as they will be required to sell them mid-winter on to the trade if they don't sell them retail. Obviously by the end of Jan and Feb that three month holding period is April/May and a much better time to sell cars. Thus in theory the worst time to sell cars is Oct/Nov.

I've bought 4 911 cabs and found that jan feb the prices ae at the lowest and you can negotiate the best deal. Watch the cars - if you want an OPC vehicle then simply pdf the search results every sunday night and then then track back how long the cars have been up for sale and the price history. Go and make a cheeky offer - i just bought an OPC 991 C2S Cab with £5k off retail, cash purchase, after a bit of haggling. Good luck! Simmo
