Total production of the 996 was just less than double that of the 993. Big in percentage terms, but still a very, very small number of cars from an industry perspective. Unless you're comparing it to rides whose names end in 'i', you're still driving a very limited production car.
Do you guys think this is the main reason the 996 has depreciated so fast with respect to how well the older 911s kept there value? Simply too many cars out there?
I honestly think from what i've been seeing lately that 997 values are going to fall of a cliff, the 05 CPOs already were in the 50s last month, i'm guaranteeing you guys we'll see 40's by summer, especially if the credit markets hit the prime auto finance biz.
There are way more 997s on the road than I ever remember seeing 996s, and if they do go to direct injection + twin clutch on the facelift cars anytime soon, well that ain't gonna be pretty. They leased a TON of 997s.
1997-2001 77,846 (all varients of the 3.4) and 85,556 (including a limited number of 3.6's) according to "Porsche 996, The Essential Companion"
2002-2005 89,706 (all variations)
Total production all years 175,262 of which 28,813 were turbo's GT2's and GT3's.
The average over all model years was 21,908/year.
speaking of cabs, i had a spirited albeit brief hwy run with a c4s cab lowered on some bigger aftermarket wheels... must say that it looked fantastic. good luck with it. i don't see very many c4Ss around town here in sports car rich seattle.
