[@WhiteLivesMatterPL]

U crazy

[@mcopanzan]

True, I worked for a Porsche dealer in '05 and u could get a discount (though they didnt want to do that), but if u waved a check infront of them, u could get extras instead of a discount say a power upgrade flush, fancier wheels, stuff like that. PS: they used to make 5-6K of profit on the fancier wheels alone.

[@mattsurrey6138]

I think a more accurate title would be cheap credit has now finished. Blowing £100k of credit on a new sports car isn't the top of everyone's agenda since their mortgage repayments have doubled.

[@trogdortheburninator8149]

Or the opportunity cost of investing same funds has commensurately gone up

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Doubled is slightly overstating it - but not by much - my mortgage rolling over this year have meant I now have nearly $2000 less per month for discretionary spending - enough that it certainly rules out buying any more cars for a while that's for sure! He does mention the cost of finance in the video - but yeah, it'll be impacting all the luxury brands.

So now I have to buy cash tie up an additional 70k that I could be using in the market to make at least 8 percent. Before the loans were running at or below inflation essentially borrowing was smarter than paying cash

[@trogdortheburninator8149]

@@michaelyounes29 some people have mortgages. Those that don’t can either buy a Porsche or boat or whatever, or invest in shares / property or whatever. Take government bonds (risk free assets) return has gone up so much over last year or two. Same for more “risky” assets. Point being it’s that much harder to justify toys for all. Also means the price of assets has downward pressure is property, floating rate bonds, infra assets as the “risk free yield” goes up which doesn’t help sentiment

I have always said the best way to get value out of a car is to buy one you really like and then drive it as much and for as long as possible. Enjoyment, extensive use and not caring about resale value is the way to go.

I agree with 1000%. True love on the car should be the driving force to own the car. Resale value should be the extra bonus but should not be the main focus of owning a car.

Absolutely. Buy what you like, drive it, enjoy it, use it up.

[@lozada1971]

Same with the premium watch market. Authorized retailers had a waiting list (they say). The gray market was the only way to get a premium watch and off course at a premium price. It became a flippers dream.

[@user-po2zh5rd1z]

Yep. I bought a Rolex Submariner about 10 years ago, wore it daily for about 5 years, then sold it for a nice profit. I'm not a flipper but I did benefit from their game. I actually traded my first Rolex for a profit but I upgraded to a nicer Submariner and used the profit to pay the difference.

[@timbucktoo99191]

Never buy when there is a crazy demand for them, like anything really.

[@user-fv8rn4gi3x]

The only AD with a waiting list is Rolex and the likes of omega decided they would pump up prices for their 90th version of a speedmaster etc. I loved watches until about three years ago when I lost all interest, they’re nice but the engineering isn’t actually there to warrant the daft increase or exclusivity the manufacturers are pushing. I’m pretty sure omega came out with a titanium seamaster for some daft which it’s never ever going to be worth unless your a fool with to much money and an ego to feed.

[@Tiny_Speck]

This is a great reminder to buy the car because YOU want to own and drive it! Don't buy it because of it's perceived future value to other people! The market is slowly returning to some semblance of harmony and equilibrium. This is equally true in the UK market as it is in the US right now.

[@whitebuffalo4904]

All across the board, not limited to UK & US. Couldn't agree more. Saw it in watches as well, troves of "investors" (who don't know a thing of horology) flocking to the hobby when it started showing its potential the past 6-7 years (but especially during covid of course), only buying references that were "sure" to appreciate in some ridiculous way, never buying watches because they actually liked them... so the whole claim that they were "watch guys" never stood up, as it they all chased the same things for the same reasons, no individuality whatsoever, just ticking off entries on a checklist. Of course we see it often with cars too, as discussed here... and many other luxury segments. People end up being clones of one another, collections so homogenized... full of desirable stuff, but also devoid of meaning when hoarded en masse like that "just because". Sorry for the rant!

[@boom2055]

cars in US market is still way above what's shown here.

[@ahoang9069]

But the entire reason most Porsche owners buy (and pay a premium) for cars is because it is an aspiration ... and all the perception of success that comes with it. I'd wager a typical 992 or 993 owner would even refuse to set foot in a 996 even as a passenger if you were to offer him a lift ...

[@BEYSeamaster1]

Absolutely. My modus operandi for anything I buy.

[@JuanAdam12]

In regards to something more close to a base 911, do they cars ever sell for under MSRP?

[@jaball77]

Hopefully it will trickle down to the more pedestrian models as well. Right before the market went insane I was finally in a position to afford a used Boxster S. Then they doubled in price overnight! Hopefully they'll come back to Earth soon...

[@daboy12s]

Had the same on a E63s

[@theukhasgonetosht1704]

Due to the rise in car thefts and the ridiculous increase of insurance prices on cars, a lot more people will be selling their cars so I have a feeling car prices should start dropping at a reasonably fast rate.

[@Emira_75]

They'll never be priced anywhere near as low as they were. New sports cars are getting bigger, heavier, softer and more expensive. Proper little sports cars like that will hold their value forever now I think :((

[@JoaoSilva22222]

This is happening to basic cars as well. Speclation from the lockdown took the car market.

[@cvn6555]

Be great to see sports cars on their lots again. Currently in a position where I can buy my dream 911 but not at the inflated prices and not going to just take whatever they have available. This one will be, eventually, a keeper.

[@WheresWilko]

Great video, the same thing is happening in the property market too, the amount of properties which have huge discounts around London ( some up to 50%) cheap money is no longer a thing and as people realise interest rates will be higher for longer they are rushing to get out.

[@CraigK80]

Having been through this recently with 2 Porsches, let’s not forget the air of arrogance shown by the dealerships “oh no sir, you can’t just buy the car, we allow you to buy one” this never sat well with me. Beautiful things for sure, but the dealerships are just crooks, wait until you get your first service bill 😮

[@user-hw4nu2qn7j]

@@DeuceDeuceBravo I mean production went crazy too in the last decade. But like the guy said, production stopped, and anything that you can buy, play with, and then make money on is going to bring out the loans and the cash like wild. The "outdoorsy" stuff like van travel, mtb-ing, and def boats went wild because it was outside stuff in a locked inside pandemic. A second tier I will offer is that on prices. So many people decided that they weren't coming off of service or product unless it was worth their renewed sense of self and time. I was running a business, did the same thing. If you want a piece of my time that kept me from fishing or traveling it was going to have to be well worth it. No more racing the rats, everyone looked up and realized they liked their time more than what they were making, so.....prices.

[@hakshustletv]

@@user-hw4nu2qn7j Yeah but also a lot of new money guys were born during that period and they don't understand the value of money or anything, these brands knew that whether car brands or luxury fashion brands and they slapped the prices up significantly so everyone that had to grind and learn the value of money over time were ultimately punished because although we know x car shouldn't be more than 130k, this 18yr that just hit the jackpot on some crypto is willing to pay 230k just to say he paid next to quarter million on a car😂

[@mikegoldstone6832]

Fascinating analysis with lots of real-time data to back it up, thanks! One additional observation is that smaller specialist finance companies that advanced money on the basis of high residual balloons are likely to come under a lot of stress if cars are returned at the end of their finance term as many owners won't want to re-finance at today's interest rates and underlying market valuations. One point you made personally struck home - I bought an end of line-up 2015 Boxter 981GTS as a daily driver in around 2019 partly on the basis that Porsche declared it would be the last naturally aspirated model that wouldn't be replicated in the 718 range and hence might become a future modern classic ....except that didn't turn out to be true. In my personal case, I'm pleased that I didn't have to finance the purchase and am happy to affordably enjoy it every day. Many others might become in the 'negative equity' trap you outlined.

Excellent video Jay. To further make the point, as of yesterday (14th Nov 2023) the Porsche UK website was listing 226 NEW, unregistered 911s. Of these 45% were Turbos or Turbo S models. I’ve never seen new 911s available from stock never mind more than 200. Of course this in part will be due to Porsche clearing their parts inventory ready for the 992.2 build program.

[@bigladxx6819]

What a brilliant synopsis, thank you for your insight 🙏🏼

[@user-gu2xm3cv5x]

I have been wanting a 992 for the past few years but I couldn’t find myself paying the overpriced listing. I am a car enthusiast. If we, as consumers, decide not to buy the Porsche at these ridiculous prices, then prices will have to come down as they are now. Hope that trend continues.

[@cw205mi16]

It's all relative, so all car prices are coming down. Look at the EV market for example for new and old cars. This video is misleading just focusing on Porsche. No other manufacturer makes a car so all round desirable as the GT cars for petrol heads which is why they routinely go over rrp. Nobody is paying overs for Ferrari and Lamborghini because they don't offer the same broad appeal and image. As soon as the market slows by general market and global forces the overs prices will drop but it's a fallacy to says it's just the Porsche market and dreamland to think Porsche will lower prices when a well specced M3 is now around £100k 😂

[@Apexbossman]

So many of the new Turbo S's available on the Porsche website are ridiculously over optioned. You can only think that the OPC's have ordered these for their stock, massively specced up to try and make as much margin as possible, which would probably have been fine at the peak of the market when cars were short, but now no one is buying them they are going to really struggle to shift them without significant discount.

[@robertanna9964]

That way, these special Porsches can get used as Porsche intended.

Yeah the upside down realestate side with folks panicing and prices falling well below the amount financed ....becoming upside down is an awful feeling especially for anything non classic that depreciates with age as the new and improved version of the model keeps coming forth and the car in question becomes more and more "long on tooth"

We are living in times where the young people are the first generation EVER to actually earn less than their parents all the while everything is getting massively more expensive. Cars are just one tiny aspect of it. The prices are never coming down. That being said there are still quite a lot of cars that are losing value massively and are affordable. Look at any maseratis or jags. If you want a 10k car that has the repair bill of a 150k car you can still do it.

[@mick8473]

How did Porsche really intend their modern more affordable cars to be used though? In Germany there are now car-free towns, a backlash against exhaust noise which is creating lower speed limits as the assumption is they're speeding and on the increase. My Porsche would spend most of its life on the driveway or work's car park and only ever used to around 30% on UK roads of its capability unless it's tracked which can get more expensive than top level Karting.

Thank goodness I buy Hondas’s and Toyota’s to resell. In southern Ontario, Canada dealers have been dropping prices like crazy. With used car interest rates now around 9% you better have cash for that Porsche or G Wagen. The days of cheap finance money are gone and only the truly wealthy are in the market now looking to capitalize on the downward trend. Don’t be fooled by BAT and others sites showing inflated prices. I’ve seen people manipulate markets at auctions for decades. It’s the same group of people who buy and comment everyday. They’re protecting there assets because they have a garage full of them.

The band wagon of making a quick buck from recent years has seriously cause a dent for true car aficionados around the world.

Fantastic video, a reality check from the demand and supply game being mirrored to luxury watches as well.

[@langhamp8912]

I think people making a quick buck were doing so because car enthusiasts were paying whatever it took to get the vehicle into their garage. Hence, Porsche was actually selling cars at below market value! It's like the way TicketMaster shoves all their Taylor Swift tickets into their own secondary marketplaces (ie their own company); the advertised price is so far below the actual price because people effectively bid up prices. However, I'm not sure if Porsche sells to true car enthusiasts so much as true owner enthusiasts. The vast majority of enthusiasts drivers would be better served with something like the Toyota GR86, the Mazda Miata, or, if you want to scare yourself silly, a shifter-kart. Something like 3% of Porsche 911 ever see a trackday, Corvettes are under 1%. Curiously, BMW is like 5% which I did not expect. I can't help but feel that BMW's are family sedans for the upper middle class.

With the economy uncertain, not buying a car right now makes sense for a few reasons. Firstly, cars are costly, and in uncertain times, it's crucial to save money and keep your finances stable. Using public transport or rideshares can save you money. Secondly, technology and car-sharing options offer convenient transport without the expenses of owning a car, like maintenance and insurance. Moreover, fewer cars mean lower emissions, contributing to a greener planet. Choosing eco-friendly options supports global efforts to fight climate change. Lastly, waiting lets you assess your finances when things stabilize. You can focus on saving, investing, or other essential needs like education or debts. Being patient and evaluating your needs can lead to a wise and financially responsible decision about getting a car.

[@RandalHebert]

My financial advisor advises buying cars when interest rates and prices are low. However, he also cautions against it right now due to the hidden costs of car ownership, like insurance and maintenance.

To a point. However, Porsche is unique because they are so much cheaper. Those who want Ferraris etc. will still be able to pay higher prices for them. The Porsche market hits the mid market a lot more with people who finance, only own one or two sports cars etc. Ferrari for example still sell the same cars and they did the smart thing, because they never got on this insane bandwagon of ADM. Porsche USA has spent the last five years shafting all their loyal long time clients, Ferrari for example, did not.

[@kevinledrew9651]

Well done! Starting to see some evidence of same in NA. Lots of pre-owned inventory, but still almost no new inventory at dealers. But in the US,(unlike Canada) dealers can markup at any level subject to market demand the price of a new 911. For some models that would’ve been 25 to $35,000 per vehicle USD, above MRSP. That mark up seems to be shrinking (on the very few examples of new 911’s at the dealer) which suggests there may be more new car inventory headed to dealers. Let’s hope so!

[@Kichoman1983]

Slightly off topic but I went to my local Porsche dealer interested in a Taycan. I turned up in my X4 M Competition. I was honest with the guy about my budget and - for what they had in stock I was about 4k short. Had he offered me a test drive I might have found that 4k or met him somewhere in the middle. His advice? Keep the X4! I went to Audi who were happy to let me test drive an RS Etron GT (same car essentially). It was 12k over my budget. But I test drove it. And I wanted it. And I found the extra money to buy it. Basically the Porsche guy (who drove a mini electric) assumed that I couldn’t afford one of his cars and let me walk away. I will never return.

[@JelloTR]

You’ve dodged a bullet. Depreciation on a Taycan is catastrophic Macmaster (KZbin creator) has just had a WBAC valuation of £11k lower than last month, £11k in a month!!! That’s £311/day or 10p/sec. The arse is falling out of the used car market, if you can afford to hold on then do so as it’ll recover.

I told my local Porsche dealer I was selling my Cayman. Their salesman was desperate to get me back in a Porsche so I said "I want a £20k hot hatch, good luck". Had a 30 minute test drive in a £70k Macan GTS, I'd say it was fun, but I wanted a hot hatch which is actually fun. We didn't even go through the budget/finance stuff beforehand. Makes me think it's mostly the dealer or, more specifically, the franchise group. On the other hand, I went into Merc a few years back to help my Dad buy a car. Both turned up in hoodies (not putting a shirt on to test drive a car...that's just odd) and the dealer literally said "are you sure you want to buy a Mercedes sir?" - a week later, he had a brand new Audi 🤣 The nearby BMW dealer, incidentally in the same group as my local Porsche dealer, just ignored him. I've booked 2 test drives for myself with that BMW dealer since - spent a total of 2 hours sat in their reception, 0 test drives...bought a Lexus and Porsche on those occasions instead.

Very interesting video, would love to hear how you think the classic / modern classic market will be affected. Speculation on new ‘limited’ models is nothing new, and I don’t think recent geopolitical changes are entirely responsible for the huge price spike and subsequent drop we’re seeing for new cars, although they certainly have exaggerated things. Interesting to note with 992 GT3s and GT4 RSs is that they’re still going for quite a bit above retail, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they continue to drop past that level. Current GT Department cars are produced in much higher numbers compared to the 996 generation, for example, so I can foresee 996 GT3 and 996 Turbos continuing to creep up in value. There’s also the impending switch to EVs to consider. While the next gen 911 GT3 will likely still have an ICE, the next cayman is confirmed to be EV only, effectively ending production on mid-engined GT department cars with an ICE. The 911 will soon follow, and I suspect at that point demand will hugely increase for these modern classics.
