Gen 1 and Gen 2 Prices

From what I can see both the 997.1 and 997.2 Turbo variants have appreciated- of course the amount will vary depending on a lot of factors such as miles, spec, colour and what type of sale it is but generally comparing prices with 3 years ago both gen 1 and gen 2 seem very strong.

When I bought my Turbo S spring 2015 to be honest I did not give depreciation a huge amount of thought s the car was going to be a keeper- I expected it to hold value short term and some minimal depreciation as the car was rare, a very late model (Nov 2012) and the best spec I could find after 12 months of looking.

Today prices for similar cars are 10%-12% higher (asking prices).

They are amazing cars and good value now too considering what you are getting for your money. IMO you will not find a super car that combines blistering performance with such usability and practicality anywhere else the fact it will also not lose money and is a good investment is just an added bonus.

If your looking at a 997 my advice would simply be go for it.. :thumbs:

Not worried about depreciation as it's something I accept owning a car and I bought my car to enjoy and that's enough for me. But what is people's opinion on the market for Gen1 and Gen 2 cars.

Still depreciating, stable after some significant rises in recent years, appreciating, haven't got a clue the 992 arrival and subsequent market increase in used 991 available will mix it up all again?

What do people think ?

Paid £29,750 for mine in feb 2015 (2005) NO BORE NO PROBS - valued for Insurance at £33,000 - re valued this week

Bearing in mind I bought a new Audi TT @ £31,000 in 2012 - then two years later the same Audi dealer offered £20,000 that had done 12,000 miles by my wife. Anything used and being prudent is best
