i think true 3 pedal manuals will hold their value in the 911 range. for me, it's two factors --the first is rarity and the second is the prohibitive cost of PDK transmissions which cannot be repaired, but need to be replaced. and most owners will not change the fluids every 50,000 miles. the NA engines also should hold a premium. i fully recognize that PDK cars are faster. and the 3.0TT motors are much better for AUC power.

Oh yes, agreed, it’s a paradox of the market generally but the 911 market specifically that the cars that sell quickly when new (silver/black, PDK) are worth substantially less used than the cars with three pedals painted more adventurous colors.

It's the simple reality that the buyers of old cars are buying them because they are interesting. If you're buying for interesting, you'll want interesting features like cool colors.

Edit: If you are considering a 997 Turbo, I like this one better. I was going to say its driving distance, but you're in san diego now, right?: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...l-leather.html Edit Again: This one is 10mins from my house if you wanted someone to check it out remotely: https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1226145

FWIW, both of the turbos I posted have natural leather.

Thank you for the offer. I’m looking for something that holds crazy resale value in case of a recession. But one of the sharper edged cars that Porsche makes. The GT4 is really spectacular in person. But if you can get a mint GT3, wouldn’t that be more “something” that the GT4 is trying to distill into a car? The 997TT I think is a no brained for resale in 6 speed guise. The one in Portland has funny little tweaks on it I don’t like. Cobb tuning. Some rorty exhaust. It’s off putting.
