what's going on with air cooled cars?

[miles2018]

Lots of air cooled 911s popping up on various platforms over the past few weeks; cars that were previously £70-£80k or unseen now on for sub £50k!

[ImbackYo]

Has your Internet just started working or you been on holiday all year?

Tiiiiiiiimmmmmber. Good, and long may it continue. Hopefully it spreads and the top end of the market catches fire too.

Sanity, on its way home hopefully.

Can you imagine what this 3.0 with a bit of lipstick would of went for last year!?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374875417935?mkcid=16&a...

Another 20k off and it' seems more like reality.

[miles2018]

And 993 cars that were recently £55-£65k now up for £35-£45k

Good condition manual coupes, or tiptronic convertables?

Care to post some examples?

I never specifically said good condition manuals

I never said you did, that's why I asked.

All cars seem to have dropped recently, so no surprises here.
However I never saw convertable tips that high anyway.

[miles2018]

But it's not just convertable tips; Carrera 3.2s in particular have dropped way down from where they were a year ago.

The market is definitely in decline, but some sellers, and even some buyers, are clearly in denial.

However, having said that, the best, genuine, low mileage, manual, coupe, full history, unmolested aircooled models will still attract top money.
They are still beautiful cars.

Everything else should find a realistic level. And, certainly far too many dubious ‘resto-mods’ floating around at silly money.

Looks like a similar drop all over to me, I never saw 3.2s get that high.

That pretty much sums it up.

In the classic market, they'll suffer the most I reckon. In percentage terms of course.

I agree, and for whatever reason Miles is quoting some silly numbers.

993 from £35k ?

A quick look on PH Classifieds shows the lowest at £45k ...

3.2's were often around £50k with £70k for something quite special ... so again, what does the 3.2 example show ?

[stichill99]

Two nice 964 C2 manual coupes came up for sale on Pistonheads last week both priced at £69'950 and both sold within a day. The one priced at £85'000 is still up for sale!
