What do you think? Has the value on early (99-2000) 996's finaly hit bottom? It seems the 964 did(many years ago) and the 993's seem to be coming back a little. The 996 can't continue to drop, can it? Mark

Coverage and how to read this overview
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 think it can because more 997's are hitting the market. They seem to be well priced which is only going to further drive down the value of the 996. I have 2,400 miles on my 996. I am not worried about the value at all. I am going to drive the car, enjoy it, and whenever it is time to move on get what I can and that is that. I will have gotten what I wanted out of it, and that is much more than the residual value anyway. Cars are poor investments. Accept it and drive it.

I am going to drive my 99 996 cab till it breaks....fix it and drive it even more.......and even when I don't drive it....it still looks great sitting in my garage! A car is a bad investment (unless you buy a collectors car)....I paid too much for my 99 and paid even more to facelift the front to an '02.....and even more on all the mods inside the P...but it is all worth it.

The '99 996 has taken a real beating in depreciation. It's not unusual to see them selling for $5K less than a late model 993 with similar mileage. If you can buy one in good condition, you will easily have the best value in 911s. If the 996 hasn't bottomed out with respect to depreciation, it certainly is getting close.

I agree largely with the thoughts above but it seems the the ones that are really getting hit on price, as the should, are the higher mileage ones in average condition. There seem to me more and more of these on the market as people upgrade to 02+s and 997s.
