Many of us can recall times when the asking prices for Porsches that have now become classic were ridiculously low but normally you'd need to refer back 10-20 years to do so.
I've recently been reading some 2011 PCGB 'Porsche Post' magazines and couldn't help noticing the prominent full page Paragon adverts.
Bearing in mind that these adverts were from only 7 years ago.
(1) A 2010 (so only 12 months old) 997 Sports Classic with just 72 miles for £139,995. Even more incredibly this car was advertised for several months before being reduced to £119,995 in the October 2011 edition.
(2) A 2004 996GT3 with 44k miles up for £39,995.
(3) A 2004 996GT3RS with 22k miles up for £62,995.
(4) A 2003 996GT2 with 37k miles up for £49,995 - reduced to £47,995 9 months later (September 2012) at which time there was also ....
(5) A 96/N 993 Turbo with 53k miles advertised at £54,995.
If you'd shelled out £325k for that little collection I wonder what it would be worth now :?:
Selling just the 997SC would have given a decent return on the total investment.
