997 Turbo prices
Discussion
There are 11 manuals for sale on AT, three are close to £50k.
Personally I think you are getting a lot of car for the money considering what they offer.
As with all these types of 'older' cars, mileage is a dominant factor in the value, if you don't want to pay for that, find a higher mileage one with a good history..

I think they are still good value. If I was in the market I'd be definitely looking a higher miler that may be well into the turbo/intercooler/plumbing/ suspension maintenance cycle.
That Mezger block is unlikely to give trouble...
I'm sure the Turbo cost more than the equivalent GT3 on launch (I know the 996 era ones did anyway)
Look at how turbo air cooled prices played out

Is there a good price trend source to follow for specific Porsche models? Been following Hagerty and there is hopefully a price guide coming up in Classic Car Mart in April, but it’s difficult to build up an idea of where the market trend is.
I’m interested in a 997 turbo or Carerra S but trying to buy at the bottom of the depreciation curve

I think that boat has sailed - maybe two years ago.I’m interested in a 997 turbo or Carerra S but trying to buy at the bottom of the depreciation curve
Bottom was definitely 2 years ago, prices are currently slightly up vs 4 years ago.
In the reality of a decade ago I might risk saying that once new cars are again being manufactured at the former rate, prices might come down again. Could be another 2 years until that point.
With the transition to EVs and associated laws, people getting increasingly nostalgic about older models and so on, it might cause prices to not come down to those levels anytime soon if indeed ever again.
Were I in the market for a 997T I would risk buying one now.

great cars but realistically the bottom for most cars is yet to be seen but when it happens you won't want to buy one anyway
the clean air zones etc being introduced + other legislations will most likely have a huge effect on prices in 5 years time
I agree with prices slowing down due to this but they aren't plummeting. Wish they would!the clean air zones etc being introduced + other legislations will most likely have a huge effect on prices in 5 years time
It seems there's a general consensus forming that the 997 turbo & GT3/GT2 are the sweet sport in terms of size, appearance, weight, performance & technology.
If there was a generational divide between the 993 & the 996 then there appears to be something similar between the 997 & 991, with the more compact dimensions & leaner appearance on the 997 counting in its favour for many.

I think that's a load of rubbish.the clean air zones etc being introduced + other legislations will most likely have a huge effect on prices in 5 years time
Clean air zones, in a few cities and who buys one of these as a toy to drive through the centre of London etc?
I think in 5 years time, you could dig this post up and see where prices are and wish you'd bought one.

Add to that the research and now manufacturing of synthetic fuels (largely led by Porsche) ICE will live on for decades.
