Leading evidence: 'Use regularly' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use regularly' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I dont think you'll find a better one, anything any dealer would sell would still need £5k to bring it up to standard at the same price
the trade would have these up in the high 20's, this has gotta be a bargain

Cabs should go for much less than coupes so if it goes for that mine advertised at £28K was too cheap (which it was tbh).
Lots of car for the money and now mine is sold you can bet values will go through the roof !
Cabs are generally £2/4k more expensive in most versions of any car. I know some 911 enthusiasts believe coupes are truer to the 911 but unfortunately, or fortunately, my friend they are cheaper to buy.
Just in case your wondering, I have a cab but wanted a coupe. It's the compromise I had to make with the wife. Oh, then I sold her car to buy it😂
I think this members car has to be in the running for best 4s cab on the market, but I think it should similarly priced to the silver one?

Hi,
In personally don't see why a Coupe would be worth more than a Cab, both great cars just a preference.
I've mostly always had my 911 in Cab form bar one. I prefer it and mine drives amazingly. As I said it's just a preference.

It's actually really hard to compare from one to another due to the differences in every sale. Very very rarely do you get 2 identical cars you can compare. PLUS the 996 market is all over the place.
All I can say is Cabs are generally more money due to the original purchase price. There's no mechanism in a coupe roof but generally a whole load of hydraulics and mechanical parts in a cab, which is why there more to buy in the first place.
Every manufacturer markets there Cabs for more, that indisputable. When I was looking at 911 cabs were generally more. However there is another factor with Cabs you need to take into account. It's the seasons and weather. Coupes would generally be the same price all year round. Whereas a Cab has a prime selling time which does impact price. If you want a cheaper Cab buy it in the winter.
True. In the Australian market coupes command a significant market value over Cabs (even thought the latter cost more new). I help a lot of people find cars and almost all of them immediately say 'no' to a Cab and want a coupe. This difference in value is consistent across most years and similarly presented cars. Some early Cabs such as 993, are almost impossible to sell.
It has to do with concern about convertible hood maintenance, or the perceived 'cleaner' profile of the coupe, and that it is just too hot to drive around with the hood down anyway for most of the time here. Add in the fact that Australia has a very high incidence of skin cancer and cabs are not highly sought after.
I loved my low mile 997 manual Cab, but sold it as I rarely used it. The Coupes I use regularly.
It's a funny thing, but in my observation it varies model by model. I can't work out the logic to it (I don't think there is one). Some cars are worth more as a drop top - E-type, beetle, Elan, Merc SL, some Ferraris (348, 355). The E-type and beetle are interesting; they are iconic because of their shape (although not their shape alone). The 911 is also iconic because of its shape but I've never heard anyone try to argue the cabriolet is worth more, like for like, until now! I agree that the C4 looks particularly good as a cabriolet, but coupes always seem to command more. They're not alone: Mustang (and other muscle cars), mk1 Golf GTi, BMW M3 always seem (to me) to be priced more strongly as a coupe/tin top.
Anyway what's this thread all about? It reads like it's an advert itself, either by the vendor or his friends!
Most pricing is merely down to one thing - availability. The rarer the model, the more it commands. Perfect example is a speedster - lob the roof off and lose the rear seats and it's worth more.......cos there aren't many. Another example is a Manual 996 turbo cab - not many available compared with the coupe so the price rockets.
