Re: 911 Overpriced?
Maybe all of them. When you think that 911's are pretty much a mix and match of parts for essentially the same basic car, how expensive should that really be? Plus when you consider the hit you take on these things,(depreciation) I'm thinking the $100K price range is a bit much 
If you subtract the first years depreciation off of MSRP then I think you'd have it

Re: 911 Overpriced?
I agree - all of them - it's just that some are a little less overpriced than others... Least overpriced IMO are the Boxster and GT3.
frayed's right - these are indulgences. Don't think about depreciation or you'll never buy one ever. Just enjoy them before you push up daisies!

Re: 911 Overpriced?
You will not lose a penny until you sell the car. I have a 2005 launch car that I purchased Aug. 2004. I have 16 k on the car and I have decided to make this my daily driver for the next 6 months. I have two other cars I plan to drive in the winter. I am planning on keeping it until the warranty expires in 1 1/2 years.

No. In the USA especially, I believe they're all a good value .
I don't worry much about depreciation because it would detract from my enjoyment, and I plan to keep it forever.
Ok, then please buy me a Porsche targa 4S and send it to me... to germany!

The prices in the US seem very reasonable compared to other parts of the world. i just bought a new C4S cab in New Zealand, and the equivalent price is US$196k !!!

WOW no way I would pay that much in the US for a Porsche. But I'm sure some would and I hvae no problem with that.
Re: 911 Overpriced?
The price for P-cars in the U.S. is pretty reasonable. A fairly loaded C2S is about $90K. What could you get for that price, M5 would be the closest thing while it's a different animal all togther. Yes you could get a Z06 or a Viper but those cars just don't appeal to me despite the awsome performance of the Z06.
Re: 911 Overpriced?
The Boxster, C2, C2S and GT3 are under-priced in many markets including the US and Middle East.
With the US Dollar losing value against the Euro, I doubt that Porsche can afford to maintain these bargain MSRPs in the US and Middle East.
Porsche is making all its money in Cayennes, Caymans, and Turbos. Not to mention the 'silly' and expensive options (like paint and leather trims).

All European build P-cars are overpriced, especially GT3RS.
That's right, I started to think the RS, Turbo and GT2 are ripoff. Especially after I have seen the Lambo SL and Porsche started to offer many low-end new models to the market.
Right now, only the GT3 with some upgrade options is best buy.
