2004 with tall asking price

I saw this today. What does this do for average 996 price https://porschemarketplace.net/vehicles/2004-porsche-911-carrera/

Considering it has 4,000 miles on the odometer; I would say it does nothing for the average 996 price. Honestly, the price is generally reflective of the 996 market as we know it. Nearly a 50% discount for a "time capsule" Porsche 911 is not impressive.

I feel bad for the PO.

It’s an outlier so I don’t think it has much bearing on the majority of cars.

That�s a lot of money considering just 4-5 years ago, I was seeing 996s with 10,000-15,000 miles listed for $27-$29k. I guess you could say that low low mileage cars of any sort at this age are getting rare. But 996 prices are certainly not decreasing any longer. Only a matter of time before they start increasing.

It's a Hatch and Sons car. The price isn't really relevant. That's a dealer where the wealthy who want like new cars without having to think about it go. The price is always above market because of the ease and clientele. Buyers often return in a few years to sell them back the last one they got and try a different Hatch and Sons car.

I wonder how often the oil was changed?

Given that it's a Hatch & Sons car, probably every year. Hatch & Sons is just are you rich? Do you want to buy a car that isn't new but is perfect in every way? Do you not want to have to worry about PPI or even looking at the car before you buy it? Then come here and pay 1.3x market but get peace of mind. It's not for me, but if you make $300k+ per year, it's probably worth it to save yourself a bunch of trouble. They are better known in the Mercedes world than in the Porsche world, but they seem to be shifting to Porsche much more now.

For that kind of money buy a Turbo!

They are also offering a 993 Turbo for $210,000 if you'd like lol

I fixed it for you...

I wonder if that car is really driveable or if it needs $10-15k of recommissioning work. I half-expect it still wears its original tires, now 15 years old.

If it actually sells, it will absolutely define the market of "collector-quality", essentially un-driven, speed yellow 996 Mk II's...

I wonder if the seller in New York was able to get rid of this one? https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...rpriced-3.html

That's the one I thought of also. Barrett Jackson and the other big auctioneers, well presented 996s are all over the board. The market seems to want to pull the average up, but then a few right in a row are sold for unimpressive numbers. After six years of ownership, and a future sale possibly looming, I am trying to get an idea of where the market is going. Coupes seem to still bring more money than Cabriolets. Non traditional colors, also seem to bring a premium. It does seem the months of April & May, 996s sell quickly.

You may be right about 996 asking prices not decreasing Mike, although I'm not convinced. Even if true, just because asking prices have stopped dropping, it doesn't necessarily mean prices will start to rise. My opinion is prices on average 996's (not GT3's or Turbo's) will remain stable for quite a few years to come. These are mass produced cars with multiple issues. That's not a good predictor of increasing value. I may be wrong.

Agree on all points.

I sold my 69 911 , in 1991, for 7500 bucks,, you almost couldn't give them away then due to the insane overhaul cost on the magnesium 2.0's.. Everybody at the time thought I killed it.. Paid 7 sold for 7.5 after putting 75K on it and owning it 3 years. I just saw a bare 69 shell go for 28K.. You hardly ever see a 69 911,, lots of 67/68 and 70 -74 ... Granted way fewer of them made back then..
