Whenever I see a 40th Anniversary Edition for sale by either Porsche dealers or specialty used dealerships that specialize in high end cars the price is always in the mid 40's.

Buy a low miles non anniversary model, and put on a supercharger and aero kit for the same kind of dollars and you will run circles around those cars.

I've actually seen these both in person (and been for a drive) and while they are nice, remember who is setting the price.

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.

My local dealership has both a Millenium Edition and a 40th Anniversary Edition for sale in the pre-owned cars! The interior on the Millenium is incredible. But the 40th has got to be one of the best looking 996 models of all.

(though in all honesty I think what they want for the Millenium is a bit steep - even for a dealership's initial asking price)
The problem is consignment. The seller will set the delusional price. I've actually seen these both in person (and been for a drive) and while they are nice, remember who is setting the price.
That car has been sale for at least 9 months. When I started my search that car would come up in the search results last June.

I could not resist the value of the 40th Anniversary Edition compared with a regular C2 in the 99-04 model years. I have been very happy with my choice
It has been for sale for a long time, however the current price is more in-line with the market. The first owner (SoCal) added all of the mods: $10K Reus audio system, GT3 lid, HRE wheels and PSS9's. It's actually a good value considering the factory MSRP was $90K.
Yup - That would explain the delusional price on the ME.
Exotic car dealerships (including Porsche) will often price cars higher than any reasonably informed enthusiast will pay. And why not? A surprising number of customers will walk into a Porsche dealership and pay the asking price, having fallen in love with a car for emotional reasons. And lots of the people who walk into Porsche dealerships are not that concerned with the actual correct value of a car.
I never begrudge a dealership its ability to make excess profit off these folks...
At those prices your are getting close to an 05/06 997S. Crazy! Buy a low miles non anniversary model, and put on a supercharger and aero kit for the same kind of dollars and you will run circles around those cars.
