However, Porsche 911s don't exactly depreciate as quickly as other German luxury automobiles, or even other comparably-priced sports/grand tourers like a 2021 Nissan GT-R. Instead of seeing its price cut in half by depreciation, a 2021 Porsche 911 has only lost about 8% of its value in the last three years, according to Kelly Blue Book (KBB). Because of the post-COVID chip-shortage-induced price boom on sports cars, a five-year-old 911 has "depreciated" back to its original MSRP, more or less.
...
Data from KBB indicates that a 2021 Porsche 911 basically hasn't depreciated at all from its new MSRP price. A $108,000 Porsche 911 purchased in 2021 is still worth about $101,000 in 2026. | Too real, just the other day I saw a 2017 911 going for $140k: https://www.facebook.com/share/14WFp1wsvj1/

The thing is that 108k 911 probably cost more than that with markups during covid.

Stoptech, Raybestos and Centric are all stopping business/production immediately. Big loss on all fronts.

They were good, and they will be missed, but it's been increasingly hard to find their stuff, and also quality has dropped off.

Easy.
As our resident executive-track MBA holder, you start as CEO on day1, then we demote you every day that you don't produce results. Every time you're demoted, we stick somebody else up at the top and it all shuffles down. Sooner or later we'll fill the corporate ranks.
Something something corporate darwinism.

Just talk to a guy who works at Porsche. No more European delivery option for this year. Said it will probably come back next year. Price is 13K for the option. Porsche was the only one left with this option.
