PORSCHE 911 SC Targa - £39,950 ??????
Discussion
Pic was from late 2012. Wasn't really meaning for the price, more that the car was very similar in colour and miles to one I viewed. More if it was the same car it's had some serious work as the one I looked at was rotten. Can't think there are many gold 50k mile SC targas which is why the car on the ops thread looked familiar.

My local dealer told me the following interesting points:
Generally the 993 is considered a modern car and not a classic in the same way as the 3.2 and prior cars are, and therefore has a ceiling price which will be lower.
Targas will rise in value because firstly, there are now fewer available due to the historic belief that the coupe is a better car, and therefore driving resotations of coupes rather than Targas, allowing Targa numbers to dwindle; And secondly as Porsche have now reitroduced the Targa model to their current range.
the 964 is a bit of an oddity as it shares few parts with earlier cars, but is much more complicated and therefore expensive, to run and restore.
Prices used to be high for early and late models and the old SC sat in the dip in the middle. Now the drive for earlier cars puts the high value with the '60's cars and the SC nearer this high price end which is pushing the values up.
Make up you own minds but I thought these points worth sharing!

The 993 may be considered a modern car but surely the prices will continue to rise some way yet.....Generally the 993 is considered a modern car and not a classic in the same way as the 3.2 and prior cars are, and therefore has a ceiling price which will be lower.

as the latest 911's become more electronically aided and further removed from the feel of old 911's one can
only assume the 993 will become increasingly sought after by the Porsche enthusiast....it is after all the last of the air cooled and a fantastic car. Even by today's standards on a long haul road trip it takes some beating.
I'm not sure 911SC targa prices will ever rise to a general level above those of the coupe.
The lines of a coupe are so much cleaner looking.
Historically E Types were always worth more in convertible spec- but in recent times a decent
FHC E Type has shot up in value for the same reason- the lines/shape look better.

Yes...the 993RS ceiling is circa £300K Generally the 993 is considered a modern car and not a classic in the same way as the 3.2 and prior cars are, and therefore has a ceiling price which will be lower.

I personally prefer that targa at Paragon to a similar priced 991 or 997. in fact a 991 targa would be circa £100k + and its never as cool as the classic targa and will only be worth £50k after 3 years. I do not understand why spending £70k on a classic car is silly money and buying a 991 and losing £50k seems okay.
This is the irony,a £100k 991 is never as cool as a classic- any Bobby Trendy would prefer to cruise the A1 in an SC rather than a new 911. You don't get many bankers or estate agents driving the old skool cars.Keep it real- '915 not PDK' is the motto to adhere to when buying a 911.
