There are lots of prce guides out there and very little agreement on what is the "correct" value for a particular car. In my opinion, the spread of values is much narrower than it should be for any particular car, because of the huge variation in condition that you will find. I find that the views expressed on Pelican tend to be on the low side of values. Most 911 sales are outside this small group and thus the experience from Pelican members isn't necessarily representative of the market as a whole.
Also, even though the economy is bad, there are still plenty of people with money, both buyers and sellers. Given that, I think it is wrong to assume that "all car prices are down." That may be true of some cars but I'd wager most of the better cars aren't put on the market as "distressed" sales. I sold a car for 25-30% above "book" a couple weeks ago and the seller coudn't be happier because he got a car that was demonstrably better than anything else he had seen.
