Preserve your wealth with the Porsche 911 997 Turbo | Depreciation & Buying guide

Buying a Porsche 911 Turbo? Then this is the video to watch. In this depreciation and buying guide of the Porsche 997 Turbo, I will show you how much the values changed in 1.5 year and how much the car depreciates per 1000 miles. Moreover, I will show you the auction results and whether or not the car has been a safe place for your money.
You can contact me at [e-mail] if you would like a personalized analysis.
Cars from the zeroes are gaining in popularity. They can be quite reliable, have a decent performance, and often don’t depreciate. If you are searching for such a car, the 911 997 turbo might be for you.
In this video I will show you if this is also financially a smart choice. First, I will show you some general market statistics so you get a feeling for the market. After that we dive into the details and divide the analysis between the 997.1 and 997.2. Since model year is no longer driving the price, we will investigate both markets from a mileage perspective. For the 997.1 we can see a clear price increase in the manual market. For the automatics, the increase is much smaller and more difficult to sport. For the 997.2 market, unfortunately, we don’t have enough data points to split the market by transmission type. Yet, we can split the market between the Turbo and the Turbo S. This split reveals hat price developments are mixed. They are stable, but it is much more difficult to sport increases than in the 997.1 market.
To wrap things up, we have a look at the auction results from bring a trailer. This confirms our earlier analysis. Prices are moving, but only very gradual.

Honestly, I feel like the 997 is the real successor for the 993. Such a perfect car.

[@oscardriver]

Anything manual 997 is going up up up ... last analog and modern 911. Perfect size, just one of the prettiest 911.

[@SignalCorps1]

Love this dude. As a data guy and a sports car enthusiast, this the perfect channel for me.

[@chrissoegono5139]

Phenomenal information! I love the mathematical approach, and visual walk-through of the data. Thanks for following-up with a second part to the 997 Turbo!

[@NTGInnovations]

Great video! 997 turbo is such a great car to drive and own! :)

[@normski2982]

Fantastic content - I have watched so many of them! This particular video was really useful when deciding whether or not to purchase a low mileage 997.2 turbo with a manual gearbox - felt like a no-brainer

[@gkuschnik]

Wow your production quality really got a step up. Thumbs up from me

[@911S]

997 turbo rocketing

[@lenti911]

Thank you. I had the feeling that now was the time. I picked up a 2008 997.1 Turbo manual with 37tkm in February this year. I am so much into that car since years 😍 You are so dedicated to your analysis 👍! Thanks for your work!

[@paulsparrow6981]

Thanks! You helped steer me from a Jaguar F Type SVR to a 997.1 Turbo!

[@fadilakkis5718]

Excellent video. Great car to own and enjoy. Yes, better (and much more fun) than leaving the money in the bank.

[@naitobippubois]

i need to see a rx7 vid lol, great channel btw came from life of palos XD

[@richarduyede8040]

I have a 2010 911 997 Turbo Cab which is still the same exhilarating drive as the first time I drove it. The feeling never goes away!

[@911xenon]

Thank you for the detailed review, very well done as usual... You should note that the 997.1 Turbo has the Mezger engine which will eventually drive the 997.1 Turbo prices further up, ultimately surpassing the 997.2 Turbo (maybe with the exception of the turbo S)

[@NR-vw2rd]

Excellent analysis and I was once told the color could bring a premium. I have a Speed yellow 997.1 (manual) cabriolet. Increase in value? I believe the coupe is more desirable, but boy that 997 looks good with the top down (and fun as heck to drive in Spring and summer).

[@RickyLaFluer7]

Do a 91 toyota MR2 TURBO!!! Love your vid on the LC500

[@danielrigby9984]

Thanks for the video. I’ve got a 997.1 turbo cab and love the car.

[@wernerengel6357]

So do I. 2008 Turbo cabrio manual. Black with all black interior. 40,000km.

[@sammyh9542]

Enjoying my 997.2 turbo. Not looking for an appreciation in value since I am always tempted to drive it 😅. Life is short. Let's enjoy.

[@MrInfiniti2008]

Great video! 👍 Would love to see analysis for Mercedes Benz R129 SL600 1993' -2000 year models

[@NR-vw2rd]

I love your videos and analytics (I do much the same in my role Marketing airplanes: profit profiles, lease v. buy, and aircraft comparisons). I have a question for you: I follow BAT auctions, does the season of year change the selling price? Will cabriolet sell at auction better in the spring vs Fall and Winter? I own a 2008 997.1 Turbo, manual transmission cabriolet (92K miles).

[@koistam]

Great video. The 911 Turbo is one of two trade-ins I’m looking at for this year. In your view what would be the best way to look at Depreciation for the new Flying Spur? Thanks

[@xjrrider6710]

Would be fun to show 12 month trend predictions and revisit them at a later dat for further analysis

[@MrFabiobilla]

Great video! Soon in the market for a 997.2 Turbo S

[@rcfrenzy6477]

I wonder if it is a good investment.The 997.2 Turbo S?

[@centerconsoledre9928]

E92 M3 US market analysis would be interesting, esp. if you could include the unicorns like Lime Rock Park and Frozen editions.

[@nfexec1312]

Would appreciate your thoughts on a 2009 997.2 Targa 4S value

[@hassanalihashmi5134]

Would’ve been nice to go in to detail of price comparison between a coupe turbo manual gen 1 vs convertible turbo manual gen 1

[@juzefzoozoo]

I have a 997.2 GTS Manual with Porsche short shit kit upgrade, full leather, black, with around 85kmi for sale.

[@AlexBridgesUK]

What is your view on of the 997 1.5? This has the original 1.0 engine with the 2.0 cabin / PCM.

[@ktranization]

You need to do r34 gtr and gtt!!

[@jorgeortiz6184]

Excelent analysis I have a 997.1 turbo 2009 manual but inside it has the configuration of 997.2 did you consider some of this in your analysis how rare are they?

[@sutherlacd27]

Very rare with the manual. Will be worth a lot in the future

[@christopher_roger]

Do the same for the 997 GTS. Modern classic. Very low production numbers (especially manuals). Actually perhaps not enough data to run a statistically relevant analysis.

[@fourwheeltrader]

True, for the 997 i believe that there are too few data points. I briefly discuss them in my gts video.

[@jaw4476]

1979 Porsche 930 Turbo.

[@dodgethehell]

good job with the data analysis. what's your profession? machine learning engineer?

[@Erebus489]

What he does has literally nothing to do with machine learning. It's just plugging data into excel and understanding statistics.

[@fourwheeltrader]

plugging data into excel ........

[@protectandswerve]

You need to Relable to vid Title...You put 991 vs. 911...It had me thinking you were going to go over the 991 Turbos also.... Please do a vid on the 991.1 and 991.2 Turbo's please!!!!

[@fourwheeltrader]

There was a typo in the title, thanks for notifying me. I have a video on the 991 turbo as well but it could use an update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2XJfXeDfMl5nJI

[@protectandswerve]

@@fourwheeltrader You're welcome. Yes, I've seen that older vid. Just when ever you see fit to do and updated one on the 991.1 and 991.2 Turbo / Turbo S's , that'd be great!! Love your work and Thank you for doing it!!!

[@johnjennings768]

[@fourwheeltrader]

I did that two weeks ago. Check out my channel.

[@philrodrigues9270]

[@TheUnlistedOne]

[@stefanschopf8408]

It is a shame that most cars are driven just rarely

[@peterw2702]

987 Spyder please please!

[@peterw2702]

as an ex financial market trader, l love your analytical and no-nonsense approach. I know the market for the 987 Spyder is relatively small, but if take global market then might be brought data points (can help you with data from non-English speaking countries / Europe and Asia if want

[@120M]

Do you publicate these stats somewhere?

[@fourwheeltrader]

Working on it.

[@user-1500HP]
