Hello all,

I've been lookin at 911 prices and am very confused. I am in the market to spend around £35k on a 911, and I dont mind if its LHD or RHD, as long as the LHD price differntial is great enough to justify LHD.

Firstly, for £35k I can get a 996 or a late 993. But why are so many 993s priced greater than equivalent 996s? The 996 is the better car, maybe not on looks (subjective), but that surely cannot justify the price tags I've seen for 993 C4S. Also, with the new 997 out, a ripple effect should soon be on the cards and prices must surely start tumbling?

I can't think of any other marque or model where the previous generation model commands a premium over the next incarnation. It dont make any sense my friends.

Also, if LHD F355s are now almost £30k, then why should a 993 Turbo be any more ? I know, very different characteristics, but they compete for the same market segment, and F355s are considerbly more rare.
