While most 911s have been steadily climbing in value, 993s have been pretty static for the past 5 years.

Part of that is because they were already being priced at a premium, being the "last of the air cooled" cars. People were socking them away as collector cars when they were new. Because of that, there are a lot of low mile examples, and most have been relatively cared for -- at least compared to their predecessors who rusted, suffered the 80s mod phase, or got driven to death when they were just "used cars".

993s have never really been used cars, and sorted examples never depreciated below $30k.

Mileage is a big negative discriminator, as is a tiptronic.

If Carreras are $25k cars, 993s are probably $35k, with a premium for rare colors, low miles, and exceptional owner history/condition. Drop $5k for a tiptronic. Another $3-4k for mileage 80-120k.

You don't see a lot of 993s with more than 120k miles.
