It is brutal. This used to be the ugly step child. Cheap. When I was shopping in 2005, you could get a decent higher mileage 964 for under 20k. I recall offering 12 on one. Yes, I didn't get it, but still ... I struggled with the gear box - very long 5 speed made the car pretty sluggish IMHO.

If it needs to be a 964 it needs to be. That said, the 993 is a much more refined car for not a whole lot more, I'd add it to the shopping list if it is an option.

If it were me, I'd wait for the COVID situation to play out. But you'll have to be without a sportscar probably until winter. My bet is by December you'll know if the market softened.

I posted this elsewhere, but if you believe Hagerty's analysis, softening it will.
