But 993s, 996s, and 997s are still depreciating in value. I see (mostly) no change in the earlier 911s in the last 3 years. (SCM database) So, I'd be patient.

Well..It seems to me that the U.S. median is $163.5K (1/3 is $54.5K).

Since a new 991 is approaching $100K, that makes a new 911 at about 60% the median?
