Re: Cayman GT4 & 718 Spyder -- Pistonheads review
boytronic:the-missile:JoeRockhead:I don’t think the 981 market will drop too much. There will likely be steeper depreciation on the 718. The two cars aren’t alike, by the way. There are tons of videos on YouTube explaining the differences with driving impressions, and most if not all say the 981 would be the preferred car of the two.
it already dropped, a 981 GT4 was above 110KE...the 718 will follow the same curve. You need to be ready to absorb another depreciation as current economic situation will just make the sports car market tank like never we felt before.
The good thing is real enthusiasts will be able to get good sports cars for a more reasonable price and enjoy them without having to worry about losing a lot in depreciation - if they survive the virus... It will be just like ‘the good old days’ again when we bought cars to enjoy them!
I bought mine to drive it too. It is a driver’s car after all Far from the fastest, but one of the most involving. If that experience can be made without a massive depreciation then that is obviously a plus.
There is a lot more demand in the USD 80-100 bracket than the USD 180-200 bracket. A lot more people can afforded a GT4 than a GT3 or other 911 derivate. Hence I think the 981 GT4 prices will remain stable. There are plenty of enthusiasts to whom this car is attractive and affordable.
