Did The 911 T Market Just Turn?

January 10, 2023

Porsche 911 Ts have been hovering just above the $100,000 mark+ for the last two years commanding a premium over your run-of-the-mill standard 991 Carrera. And for good reason. The T was sold as a stripped-down “driver’s” car, almost a GT on a budget, and offered some great options to make it much more attractive when comparing other trim levels.

And the car above, a 2018 10,000-mile example finished in Racing Yellow, had all the right option boxes ticked: carbon-fiber bucket seats, rear-seat delete, and rear-axle steering. But even with the right options, it failed to find a home with bidding ending at $80,000. Now, some in the comment sections argued that this car failed to sell due to it being a PDK car, but past results tell a different story.

We have had many examples sell with both 7-speed manual and PDK transmission. And at 10,000 miles, this is far from a high-mileage car looking for more money. In fact, cars with more miles have fetched a great deal more than our top bid recently. Case in point: this 2018 911 T with 15k sold for over $118,000 last month. So what gives?

As I said, past results tell a different story. In the past four years, despite a number of examples on offer, not a single Racing Yellow 911 T has sold at an online auction. PDK, 7-speed, didn’t matter. It seems that the market does not have an appetite for the perfect lightweight Porsche taxi.

That being said, although I’m hopeful that the 911 T market turns and I can pick one up for $80,000 sooner than later, the market still appears to be kept above that $100,000 line here in the US for now.
