Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

In that context, the 996 may start to seem, in hindsight, a relatively pure and authentic experience (that's what happened to 911s after the 356 was replaced, neutralizing the emotion factor that always determines market values).
Leading evidence: 'Replace neutralizing the emotion factor' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Credit is likely to tighten for consumers in the next few years, making it harder to stretch into a new car.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

For these reasons:
1. The only 911 with unique headlights
2. First 911 using water
3. First maintenance free 911
4. This whole more supply than demand thing is untrue. I can find any older 911 in any config I want. Cant seem to find an '02 I want.
5. We have the Taco wing.
6. PSE
7. First 4 valve 911 motor
8. First distributorless 911
9. First 911 interior that got out of the dark ages
10. I want to sell mine and upgrade but the market prices are in the dumps........
Here's the thing... since they're cheaper/more affordable now, more young ones are buying them. Since more young ones are buying them, more and more get totaled. Consequently, the value will go up eventually after a good number is destroyed.
In control systems engineering, this would be called a negative feedback coefficient which "corrects" itself through negative feedback.
Hey now I like the falling prices. Why? Because I don't own one yet but I'm hoping to get one next year
I can't see the prices falling too much lower. For a 99-00 they seem to be hovering around $25-30 depending on mileage. In the past couple years I haven't seen them go much lower than that. Yes it would be nice if they appreciated, and maybe in the future they will. But I'm happy as long as it holds its already depreciated value.
As more and more of those M96 blocks fail out of warranty, and never get repaired, the remaining cars will become rare collectors items and the price will go through the roof.
Seems like a reasonable prediction......
FWIW (which is nothing), I think that the bottom may not necessarily be that far away. As time goes by and more 997s get sold, not to mention whatever replaces that, the idea of a water cooled 911 is going to get less and less controversial. In that context, the 996 may start to seem, in hindsight, a relatively pure and authentic experience (that's what happened to 911s after the 356 was replaced, neutralizing the emotion factor that always determines market values). The euro will probably stay strong relative to the US dollar, so new ones won't suddenly become cheaper. Credit is likely to tighten for consumers in the next few years, making it harder to stretch into a new car. Supply of 996s isn't that ridiculous - less than double the number of 993s made - and many will be well taken care of. All in all, it may be that we'll ride the curve down a little longer, and then things will stabilize. Or not. But to me, either way, the prescription is to get the most out of the car you've got, enjoy it and take care of it.
