If the "no 09 Turbo" rumor is valid....

I rarely bite on hypoteheticals but I have read two posts so far saying "no turbo for 09" and rather than debate the validity of an unsubstantiated claim I prefer to drop all conditionals and play the imaginary scenario ang guess ---

My guess -- If it's true , our Turbos will go up in value the moment that production of 08 cars ends.

Agree , disagree, or other?

They have made far too many 997TT's for them to ever go up in value if Porsche decides to skip a year or 2.

My thinking goes like this :
1) 2010 is not exactly moments away .
2) Those who ditched their 997tt flooding the market in recent times most commonly :a) felt the heat of the down economy , 2) had problematic car. 3) other reason (unknown) . Once those cars are snached up supply grows short.
3) With NO other Porsche supercars and a newly released facelift 997 sporting new technology and reliability hurdles to prove -- along with a price increase --- OUR turbo's just got alot more appeal .
4) Appeal means value

FYI --I bought a 993 Turbo the year it went out of production . It was the ONLY Porsche I ever bought used . It had low miles and was in mint condition . I paid OVER MSRP for the car USED .

I was lucky to get the car .

A low mileage Turbo being the last of this engine block will translate into huge value I SPECULATE.

Those who bailed --bailed already.
Those who didn';t are still holding the car .
If for any reason the 997 facelift goes up in price and has ANY reliability snags with a new engine block -- buyers will cling to the thought of aused Turbo.

To this day --some consider a used 996tt over a 997S .

The current used Turbo pricing has been very badly undervalued.

"No Turbo" could change that sentiment significantly.

All great points, but keep in mind that Porsche has already many more 997TT's than they ever did 993TT's in their 2 year production run, therefore it's hard to compare a 997TT's value to what 993TT's have done in the past years. The last of the aircooled Turbo's are still holding steady while the 996TT's drop like fly's. The 997TT's will take a longer time to drop and may not drop as dramatically as the 996TT's have, but they are certainly not going to go up.

Here is one in the US. 28,000 miles, but you get the idea.

BTW, that is a lot of car for $99k.
