Read evidence and context
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. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Rather, I see super high miles with obvious lack of maintenance, questionably modded with body kits from who knows where, bumper covers loose and mismatched, obvious poor body panel repair, torn and tatty interiors, salvage/rebuilt titles, etc.

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.

good chart! What does the same timeframe look like for MY 2000?
I have grown to really like the all-clear MKI headlights... I was not ashamed to have them on my car at all. My coupe will be MKI with solid clear lenses. In fact, I'm not even looking at MKII cars.
(My next 996 is already picked out and waiting for me to finalize the deal this coming week, but mumms the word on further details until it's actually in my garage - don't want to jinx the deal).

The reality of true numbers like Hagerty that pulls data from dealer, auction, and private sales is that it looks like the average 996 is still depreciating. As I mentioned before, the only ones are in increasing in value are the pristine low miles cars, but they're hard to find.
Being a collector car dealer, I've found that the Hagerty values are useful as a starting place if you've no other data, or a car from an era or make you're not familiar with. Beyond that, I find their data "a little optimistic" in a lot of cases. Mannheim Dealer Auctions lists their national sales reports for each sale, or you can search by model nationwide for dealer auction results- if you're a registered dealer. They post each lot item pre-sale with an "MMR" estimate, which is an average sale price of a particular year/model car with similar mileage, etc.
Trouble is, almost all of the older Porsches I see at dealer auctions are usually beat, and probably not something an enthusiast would own. There are exceptions of course, but the 996s are valued pretty low currently due to this.
It may be a good venue to sneak up on something under the "that's entirely too cheap for a 911" vein, or if somebody's looking for a project or track car candidate. The 20 yr old Porsches I've seen at dealer auctions are not something you'd want take directly home and keep under a car cover. Rather, I see super high miles with obvious lack of maintenance, questionably modded with body kits from who knows where, bumper covers loose and mismatched, obvious poor body panel repair, torn and tatty interiors, salvage/rebuilt titles, etc. Maybe the guy who's loading a warehouse with these examples as future collectibles sees something I don't -if that guy even exists!
