I imagine CSL's will follow the same.

Out of interest, how many CSL's worldwide ?

1400 CSLs, that's what the magazine says. How many left though?

I agree but I also think that there are going to be a lot of uneducated air cooled Porsche owners howling with pain when there 'investment Porsche' starts rotting from the inside out. "But they told me it was a Good'un!!!!!"

Get one bought then. Prices have been going up steadily for the last 18 months. I bought my 2004 manual with x50 and aerokit on 21k miles for £36k 4.5 years ago. If you could find one of the same spec now it would be closer to £50k. Shame I have ruined mine by giving it an extra 200hp and putting 10k miles on it

Was gonna post to get an idea of value, as I was looking at parting with my SG. 74k on clock, full history and just had the engine gone through by Simpsons as it seems a shame to have it sat there in my workshop in its' carcoon.

What to do?

Need a magic ball.

they come fully loaded in HK and they are more or less all the same here. Not interested in it considering I have Godzilla and was going to get a 991 GT3 until it went up in flames and I passed along my quota. Now the RS is out so contemplating whether to buy 2 cars (LP560+458 Italia) or a new 991 GT3 RS (prices would be about the same).

I have a few friends with the 996 turbo and all are selling. Strange market I guess from place to place. Bit like UK sells the CSL on the cheap and Germany are selling them for a large premium.

But I still cannot figure out why they demand large premiums over say a 997 Turbo. I understand why a 964 Turbo is collectible but what's the key aspect for the 996. Sorry, I didn't really follow this particular generation.
