I was looking at them as an option about 6-8 months ago... You could get a dog 98 S with space ship miles for 25k...

Now, they are sub 20k Thats some loss in half a year!

too full on was it

I really want a 911 like above, dont want to afford a GT3 as thats a good chunk of money

Could prob buy the red one (hypothetically)... but i'd be winching at the deprecation That car would have been just shy of 30k 6 months ago !!!!

What the hell happened!?! Even the 993 has taken a plumit in prices and mate is trying to sell an 87 Carrera 3.2 for 8k and he cant shift it :/

i think the 997 has made them drop in price.

Lad at work has a 993 Carrera and he said its dropped so much in value recently.

I made a thread the other day adam about the price drops.

CEO picks up his next 911 in January. 997 Turbo (his third turbo) trading in his 996 turbo.

the noble is just a bit 'classless' if you get what i mean... no doubt its a feckin superb car... but its all a bit rude hehe

CEO - whats that stand for again... Cheif Exec Officer ? though that was just a yank term

I'd luve a turbo, or a GT2 even more so... but late 70's 3.0 turbo's are still fetching around the 20k mark.

It certainly has no class in yellow.

But IMO i dont think porsche's do either! I just dont get it. Never have done. I liked the 993's especially the turbo. I like the new gt3 porkas but they dont float my boat.

Much prefer the noble

there a turbo on autotrader for 2200
2.7 from 2500, 2995, 3995,2 at 4995 but both have a lot less milage than mine so its bad for me as my value was up at that last year

996 is one of the worst sadly, often suffer from cracked liners etc, hence the price drop.

Yes Cheif Executive Office. in other words MD.

He hasnt gone for ceramic brakes which are a 5k option. He has taken his 996 on the track and his brakes didnt even get close to cooking so he didnt bother. He has just given him self a £900k dividen payout
