I am in the car business and it amazes me how many 997's even 08's are coming across for sale. I have not heard a single person with a complaint about the car yet there are all these cars up for sale. I have taken in lamborghinis and Ferraris for the 997TT but I have yet to take in a 997TT. Are you guys noticing how many are on the market right now and wondering why because I sure am!

 

reason is simple, economy sucks. First items to get cut from the ol' budget are 2nd homes and weekend cars.

 

also porsche is in there third year of production.

 

Those are all the mortgage guys whose 50k per month salaries dried up

 

do you often pass on Jamboree in the after noon around 6:20-6:40? Seeing a red 997tt with black rims lately. Im in the 01 C2 Midnight Blue with a MK1 GT3 kit.

 

How are the prices? I am hoping to see $90s by the end of year.

 

Alot will depend on the '09 and its price/popularity...

 

What I have noticed is plenty of very low mileage cars (few hundred to a couple thousand miles). Kind of makes me wonder what's going on.

 

My opinion is that this economy has a lot of people spooked. They are waiting for the bottom to fall out and dont want to be stuck with a car. Once the honeymoon of the new car is over the thought of it losing 30% of its value in a economic downturn is not that appealing. (Not that this will happen). The next 12 months will be a good indicator of where things are headed.

 

The Porsche dealer was giving me the hype today of 997tt's being "very hard to get".

There are just a lot of them being made and on the market. Same with gallardos.

 

When do the new Turbo's come with with the new PDK transmission? 09? 10?

 

probably has to do with Obama getting the nomination; people are just preparing for the worst

 

Yep! Get some KY and grab your ankles!

 

IMHO there are not that many Turbo's being made. I would say a good portion of the owners just like getting something new ever 6 months to a year.

The fact that these are all low mileage cars indicates that they are obviously 'toys' and not daily drivers - supporting that reason...
