GlosRich Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Covid has caused pent up demand in the market, prices are higher at the moment. But when the redundancies really kick in, expect a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There area number of 2.9s on Autotrader that appear to be silly money. Not sure I'd call it silly money as it is a lot of car for the money still. I have noticed Base and S manuals are very thin on the ground (the R always).... so 'supply and demand' is the old adage. There is only so far they can rise, unless the R moves up with them, and I have felt R prices are slightly on the up, for an manual certainly, so even with redundancies I'd bet the Cayman bucks the trend. Which one/s you got your eye on at being silly money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian987 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Had a look and first thing that jumps out is this is NOT a black edition, yet listed as such https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202008152518934 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not complaining, I hope they keep stsy this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I hope it doesn't stay that way;. And not because I'm buying. Even when I've got one, I wouldn't want the value to go up. Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want the value to go up after you've bought one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when you could pick up a 930 Turbo for 20K at max. As the price goes up, the stress goes up and the enjoyment can often go down.

Adam Green Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 Unfortunately mine has become a bit of a garage ornament already. I bought such a clean example that I cleared the garage out and filled the space with my 987 (this was never the plan by the way). Each to they're own i suppose. My 320d takes care of daily duties 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Sports cars are for driving. You can't appreciate the drive by looking at it every few days. Mine has admittedly been collecting dust but that's been COVID, crappy weather and demand from work due to COVID; absolutely not because I don't want to drive it. I can't say I've been tracking prices recently but I do find satisfaction that most CRs are near enough what mine cost me nearly 4 years ago. I was originally between an M2 and the CR - my pocket is very glad I got the CR (and so am I!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
