993 price trends
Discussion
Posted recent requesting feedback/opinion on current 993 market re a typical spec I had in mind – got lots of good feedback – many thanks to all that replied. Have 1 further question to the forum and again would be grateful for any opinions. Yes I know this is supposed to be a heart thing - but unfortunately I’m a head guy so will probably over analyze before I splash the cash.
Question – what has happened to the 993 market over the past 12 months? I had heard that last summer saw a significant peak in prices where prices had been flat/rising in period prior to that, now falling although slowly. Is this so? I would assume that Cayman, new boxster, and creeping negativity re GB economy would be the primary influences here – thoughts? What would be your best guesses on value of a good late £30k now 993 value in 2 years?

My honest opinion (flame suit on) is that if you're so concerned about depreciation, maybe you need to wait until a Porsche is a small % of your disposable income. Thouigh servicing isn't outrageous, the fact is that a 10 year old car like a 993 will need money spending on it - clutch, brakes, suspension - just on wear & tear items. If something goes pear shaped, you may need to find £££ to sort it.
Insurance and petrol will cost the best part of £220/month, not to mention tyres and the dreaded mods..
however, you asked about future values. I would think 993 prices will bottom out at £20k (some decent mid-high milers at £23-£25 now) - though it heavily depends on the individual car and how you buy it and how you sell it.
