Porsche 911 996 Prices are Out of Control | Carrera Depreciation and Buying Guide

[@JeffJacquesmd]

Another vote for the 996 and 997 Turbos. Also thoughts on what happens as the pandemic winds down and we return to a more normal market

[@Robert-un3cf]

I'll save you some time. All cool older cars are getting more expensive.

[@j.d.4681]

Can you please cover the 966 Turbo? It seem to move up similarly.

[@beeeff186]

THIS

[@Apexjuha]

The Turbo prices behaved weirdly some about 5 years ago. The prices went down quite quickly without any other apparent reason that the turbos had to be renewed and the rear spoiler is often malfunctioning. But honestly the Turbo has the Metzger and thus is even more car for the money than the Carrera. The Turbos have collected typically a lot more miles than the GT3s and I suppose the eventual engine overhaul is bringing the prices down. The Carrera is a lof of car for the money. The Turbo is even more performance for the money. The Turbo is of the order of +100 hp and significantly tested engine with racing pedigree whereas the Carrera engines were designed mostly for ease of production. Recent years you could get a 996 Turbo at 30 000 USD. One thing that lowers the prices is that especially the US cars are often equipped with Tiptronic. Manuals always keep their prices better and in the case of Turbos quite a lot better. Then again, The Tip was a good automatic gearbox of its time. You could argue that the Carrera 4S is more worth money than the Turbo these days, and frankly, it does not make sense. The Turbo is a better car, hands down, but maintenance is certainly more expensive.

[@lebojay]

As with all things, the 996 Turbo will do what the non-turbo 996 does, only more so, and faster. 😎

[@j.d.4681]

@@Apexjuha you had me until you said the 4S was more valuable than a turbo, could not think of anything more crazy!

[@j.d.4681]

Also the 964 and G cars!

[@Voiceofreason99ify]

You have done 997 and 996. Can you please also do 986/ 987 ??

[@ksteak27]

Snagging my 04 base manual for 16k in Feb 2020 is shaping up to be a freakin great move! :D

[@larryhanshaw9818]

How about a video on the 996 Turbo values? Thanks!

[@redlightning4857]

I’d love to see another 991.1 video on this as well. I’m looking to buy one next year but don’t know if I should buy in now. I don’t know if values will continue to rise or go down in a year.

[@fkadar786]

As someone who works in financial services and is car mad, this channel is excellent viewing. With the future blueprint of cars moving to hybrid/fully electronic, I would like to see a focus on naturally aspirated cars and the ones to look out for from a modern classic perspective. Investment cars like w204 C63 AMG or E46 M3 are great examples. Other examples that I have tipped on are Ferrari 550 V12 and Ferrari F430 manual. Thanks very much.

[@acooper111982]

If you’re looking for good data, I’d also check out the graphs available on Bring a Trailer. It’s extremely detailed when it comes to valuation not just on the model, but sub model, condition, etc. Your sense on the 550 especially is strong. Despite a fairly significant rise in value, it’s still a bargain compared to where it’s headed. The 430 6 speed is also a great choice-extremely reliable for a Ferrari, which has a major impact on the market. The only thing hurting it is somewhat divisive appearance. Additionally, the added value of the 6 speed has already kind of asserted itself at this stage. For my money though, I’d go with the 550 maranello. Front engine v12 with a gated 6 speed in a drop dead gorgeous shell? Hell, I’m probably stupid for writing this if I ever hope to own one, lol! The AMG you mention is a “good” investment, but with an auto only and an engine that is common across other AMG models of the era, the upside is smaller, though it still certainly exists.

[@AZdroptop]

A local Arizona seller is asking $44,000 for a 996 cab. Kind of funny actually.

[@jamiepollockmd334]

I picked up 99/996 carrera cab w/ 29K miles, for 17,900, in June 20. It is a blast..

[@PattrickNM]

Thats a steal, im working on my 2000 996 and learning more about it and so far I would say its been pretty fun aswell :)

[@christian_urocar]

Haha nice !! That’s a damn good deal. Some clown all over trying to sell 911, with high mileage for that price … big joke

[@christian_urocar]

@@PattrickNM what work you doing? Ims??

[@PattrickNM]

@@christian_urocar I’m not entirely sure quite yet, I just got it about a couple weeks ago and on the 16th I’m getting my fluids replaced and engine serviced and looked into, it drives and doesn’t show any signs of issues, I was informed the ims was replaced. Once I get to that point I’ll know if there is any issues and if not then solid :) mainly cosmetics though, needs new paint, window regulators which I know cost quite a lot to get replaced, and some interior things like seats and carpet

[@christian_urocar]

@@PattrickNM well if it was done your good, just always let it warm up before driving off , ease the motor into higher revs during your drives , don’t be afraid to rev it up from time to time , these engines don’t last driving like miss Daisy . It’s crazy how many of these cars have window regulator problems , seats and interior lol , but motor , tranny , suspension and brakes , well you got a Porsche and they are robust took my last one up to 150k and it was still running awesome when I sold it , and yes I regret it! Lol

[@un1b4ll]

Can you do 991.1 Carreras again? The market has shifted significantly recently

[@lancers912]

Please include Manual v PDK

[@tserzz]

"Porsche Synthetic fuel" being trialled next year ! With Siemens, when this gets the go ahead we hope then watch the prices rocket for all Porsches. I bought my Porsche Turbo for 42k UK sterling just over a year ago with 38000 miles on and just been offered 58k UK sterling. Nope, I'm keeping..Great informative vid thanks.

[@rodsalvador3608]

Good to see the 996 get some love. I didn't expect mine to appreciate at all. How about the Lotus Elise and Evora?

[@mwjunkbox]

S2000 please! Not many options so should be straightforward. Great 996 and 997 videos!

[@K1dPhresh1]

Great videos. I really appreciate your insights to the 997 market you did a few weeks ago. I’ve watched several of your Porsche videos. Didn’t realize I wasn’t sub’d, so I did. Looking forward to the future market analysis of the 996/997. Hoping to buy a 997 this year. Wish I was in the position a year or so ago.

[@fourwheeltrader]

*Which car would you like to see analysed next?* FYI, the 'Carrera S' data only includes the '4S' as there is no '2S'.

[@KyleBrightman]

Great as always. You know I’m the squeaky wheel always asking for the 986 Boxster. I wish we could have seen a before/after supply shortage on it, because it seems like cheap first gen Boxsters are becoming rare.

[@yc4406]

Would love to see a market analysis of the Acura NSX both the 1990-2005 first gen including the facelifted model from 2002-2005 and an updated analysis on the second generation model from 2016-present.

[@kale4925]

Fark they are cheap in the US. In australia, the market has also been booming, the 4S is now solidly being sold in the $90k - $110k price range.

[@mh0072]

Great video as always. I would love to see a video elaborating on your thoughts about what happens to 996/997 prices after pandemic. These prices are out of hand lol.

[@christian_urocar]

Honestly 996 prices aren’t too crazy , only good examples are C4S models are getting the top dollar . Trust me nobody wants to deal with an IMS problem

[@davidb.301]

How about 996 GT3? One just sold for $193k on pcarmaket.

[@darrylhoward767]

Please make a video on the 996 turbo

[@tegimen]

I think there are two reasons why prices have increased: 1. The pricing hit rock bottom last year mainly due to the fact that they were considered a massive letdown from the previous generation 993, basically a transition from water cooled to air cool and the front light design in both 996.1 and 996.2 models. 2. The supply has massively decreased, with more models showing up with lower mileage. So if supply holds steady, then pricing will increase.

[@yorbalindason]

I paid $28,000 for my 996 with 32,000 miles in 2018. Yesterday the local Porsche dealer gave me an appraisal for $23,000 (now with 58,000 miles). I had taken the car in for a 4-wheel alignment and he offered to appraise the car. I don't think the dealer appraisal is offensive, but I think I could sell the car (which has the IMS Solution and other maintenance) for about the same as I paid for it.

[@FarseSpludeheim]

Paul, let me know if you decide to sell. Looking to buy my first 996. I’m in Yorba Linda BTW. Cheers, Joe D.

[@marcus-pf7lp]

You're forgetting about the best 996 on the market, the limited 40th-anniversary edition. 1963 made. Only 80 were introduced into the US market. Only 30HP less than the same year GT3. Please include it. Thanks. Great video.

[@est.7365]

No idea why the 996 have shot up in price, I bought a 2002 c4 with 63k miles in 2014 for 17500 guy was asking 18000 they where hated and you could of bought a regular 911 for under 10 back then. Until someone asked if I was selling mine recently I found out about the prices of theses 996. I'm guessing Magnus Walker made them cool or something lol

[@cayman9873]

I want to buy a manual 996 or the cheapest 997 manual with some miles when the prices drop back to more normal.....is that happening soon ?? Sky high prices cant stay beyond high forever.. at some point people w 30k or so buy a different car with more depreciated price.

[@billymania11]

I'm not a Porsche guy but the takeaway for me is new Porsche prices are ridiculously high and so naturally the younger guys are trying to slip into the prestige game with older models. I think it's a decent strategy. The people they are trying to impress (women primarily), are probably not very savvy on Porsches and so they all look the same to them. I'm not into rehabbing cars as it's often uneconomical but the used Porsche prices can kind of of make it work.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

A Honda civic has the same curve post pandemic. Whats even more hilarious is a Range Rover is appreciating faster than many exotics. Now its pay your bill time post pandemic and its exotic car collection time in America with large numbers of new Porsche 992s being repossessed and sold at auction.

[@kickyadick]

Welp, 99 carrera 2, 73k miles, no accident, clean title. CarMax: I will buy your car for $12,000. This was 2 days ago.

[@beltanelimoreservations302]

do you have one on the 996 turbo? I saw you had it on the top 5 appreciating cars but don't really speak about it. Another car that Im curious about is the Phantom VII EWB. They seem to have gone up. But not sure there is enough data out there for a study. I think the production numbers on that car globally where around 50 on average per year. Great content. Thanks

[@fourwheeltrader]

I don't have a market update yet on the 996. But as you saw in the graph, it did pretty well

[@moneymoney733]

Can you re-do a video for the cayman 987.1 and .2 base and S models. I'm seeing some 987.1 S models being sold for over 50k

I'd love to see this as well

[@TheBestWanted112]

Me too!

[@pauljago8550]

Yep. Me too

[@matsutitech]

Great video as always. However, if memory serves me correctly, for 996 there were Carrera, Carrera 4, and Carrera 4S but unlike 993 or 997 I don’t think there was a (2WD) Carrera S model, although there was a X50 tuning package. Some people mistakenly enlist their car in the used market as Carrera S when in fact it is a Carrera Tiptronic S; I speculate this may be throwing off some of your detailed analysis, such as the lack of pricing difference between Manual and Auto, although not impacting the global analysis.

[@fourwheeltrader]

True, when i talk about the 'S' model in the video it only includes the '4S'. I probably should have pointed that out.

[@NoHassle911]

since when there is a 996 Carrera S available? Only a 4S is ever made. The facelift was a 3.6, but that's not called a S.

[@fourwheeltrader]

The s only includes 4s data as there is no 2s.

[@carlwray6650]

Wow anyone see the prices of these dropping as car market opens back up?

[@madisondang1324]

[@adamlee1562]

Amen brother!

[@Supercarsofcheshire007]

Great video I’m so tempted with a 996 to go with my 987 boxster which has also gone up a bit 👍🏻

[@christian_urocar]

It should drop back soon , the 987 Boxster only went up because all porsches went up . The 996 will overall always give you a better return in the future

[@philipDaguru]

Do you see the EU Market the same on The 996 valmue?

[@christian_urocar]

Sorry bro but there’s no Carrera S models for 996 there’s only the 996 C4S and Turbo( which I’m sure there is no turbo S variant )

[@fourwheeltrader]

As commented, Carrera s data obviously only includes the 4s.

[@MimasTurbo1]

Can we see the 993 as well, it has skyrocketed!

[@tomhunt1733]

I really enjoy your videos, I am wondering if you have any thoughts about the 40th anniversary edition? Do you think it appreciated the same as a 996.24997 or is it different because there is only 800 in North America I am Canadian and 1963 worldwideI would appreciate your input

[@bicycle697]

I bought mine 2 years ago for 18k with 21k miles, practically new perfect example. But it doesn't matter how much it appreciates, it's so fantastic I could not part with it. Great research, thank you so much!!!!

[@c_losgarage71]

What would you say a 996.1 C4, auto tiptronic with 117,xxx miles, clean title never any accidents would be worth? Im trying to gauge what a good listing price would be for mine.

[@owenburford3160]

The GTR R33 seems to also out of control rising market. I brought for $24k au about 10-12 years ago and be close to $70k and hearing they will keep going to $100k ? Any comment on this. Thanks

[@paulthorpe766]

Good analysis - bought a f.s.h 100,000 mile model yr 2000 c2s 2 yrs ago for £7000 now it’s probably worth £15k ! You were right too on the i8 as prices rising fast now 18 months out of production 🧐

[@ericl452]

I bought my very early build (March 1998) 1999 manual coupe with 89k miles four years ago for $11,500. It was sold with an electrical issue that turned out to be a bad ground that I found the day I bought it. I did have to buy a new alternator. It has been a great car.

[@lozafunk4729]

HAVE YOU DONE A VIDEO FOR 993 ????

[@RobertKarlBerta]

Be very careful about what it really means when hearing a car value is going up now (June 2021). All used cars are going up due to virus winding down and pent up demand. Dealers are desperate to get any used cars due t the demand. Part of that demand is because new cars are in shorter supply due to shortage of electronic chips as a result of the virus hampering production. I suspect once the supply goes up, the prices on used cars will retract. The increase in value of any car is likely more as a result of that supply and demand than a big increase in collector value or desirability.

[@Tential1]

Every KZbinr raving about 996 values killed (or helped if you're already an owner) the market

[@priqq1]

I've seen more 996 turbos on the road this year since the 997 came about and 996 owners traded them in for the 997. No doubt they have been out there in garages and the roads, but it seems like people in my area who also own newer porsches (991) are buying them back up and driving them.

[@WheresTheAnyKey1]

im not so sure. these are the more affordable 911s and I'd guess that has a lot to do with the fact that they've increased so much. depending on who's buying these cars, then yeah, they may sell their newer 911 and keep the old ones hah. there's not much supply so cynical me thinks with all the money sloshing around it could be speculators. wouldn't be surprised if we see bullshit prices soon, which may only be bullshit relative to normal cars and not if we consider air cooled

[@joeracer302]

How would you compare rise in the value of these cars with the rise in inflation and loss of value in the dollar, or compare with the rise in value of the stock market? I am wondering how much there is actual appreciation in value compared to other metrics outside of other car values that may also just be experiencing the rising tide effect.

[@fourwheeltrader]

This video over her includes a comparison to the stock market: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3_FqaKDbsRpia8 Additionally, many reports which show the adjusted use car price indices also show a significant appreciation. I think that a lot of the value increases are real increases.
