My Glorified VW Beetle

[Capt. Obvious]

The Porsche market in my area is dead right now, so I guess I'm just going to hang onto the car for now (unless someone here wants to buy it? ). I sold the Rotiforms and the car is getting a makeover right now.

I don't want to be a dick but is it maybe because it's a 996?

I'm under the impression that they've held their value the worst out of any Porsche. I'm not sure if it will appreciate upwards any in the future. You would know better than me though :0

Being a 996 is definitely a part of it; but when I say the 911 market is dead right now, I mean it's dead for all generations around here. It's really odd. The C4S (which mine is) is one of the more desirable and sought-after 996s because of the Turbo drivetrain and wide body. Personally, I don't think the narrow-body 996 has any chance of ever being a "classic", but I can say with a pretty decent amount of confidence that the GT2/GT3/Turbo/C4S variants will become collectors items at some point.

Shitty early narrowbody 996's still go for like 20-30 grand around my area and turbos are around 40. I think 996's will be a collectors item because in 10 years most of the actually driven ones will have a blown motor.

most of the actually driven ones will have a blown motor.

Quite the opposite if you ask me. If you browse the 996 forums, most of the guys who complain about how much maintenance their car requires or how often it is in the shop are the guys with 20k mile garage queens who let it sit in their garage for months at a time while waxing it with their semen every weekend while they congratulate themselves on owning a Posche.

Guys like me (105k miles on mine now) who actually drive and use our cars basically change the oil and replace wear items as needed. Plenty of guys on the forums with 200k+ miles on their 996s.

Ill trade you 20k in wheels for that car lol

Car looked great on the TMBs! hopefully you just keep it and it gets even better

[Capt. Obvious]

The car is back together now after it's little makeover. WaterWerks was yesterday, so hopefully a few more pics of it will pop up soon.

Here's one a friend snapped:

Looks incomplete without the TMBs...

Yeah.. as a random internet person, not a fan of the Coxster sticker and the blacked out wheels...

I get having car ADD, but it looked way better before.

[Capt. Obvious]

not a fan of the Coxster sticker

Not a Boxster sticker, it's from the early 911s. Porsche brought it back for the Speedster recently.

Here's what that decal is originally from:

I'm aware that the older cars used that sticker too, but the last car to wear that sticker from the factory was...



I just loved it when it was clean and classy that's all.
