3-Year-Old 911s $100K Pricier Than in 2019: StudyAndi Hedrick"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."As any enthusiast with access to Facebook Marketplace could tell you, used Porsche 911s are no longer a great deal at any age. The immense popularity of the 911 platform has driven up prices from early air-cooled examples to even the most affordable of egg-headlighted 996s. A new study suggests that even newer models are not immune; in fact, the study claims that average three-year-old 911 prices have climbed almost $100,000 between 2019 and 2026.The study, which was published by iSeeCars on Tuesday, analyzed the sale of more than 10 million used cars sold since 2019 to determine how pricing has changed across the market since 2020's COVID-19 pandemic. It shows a major rise across the board—an average increase of $9000 for all three-year-old used cars—but no car in the study has seen a bigger increase in total transaction price than Porsche's flagship sports car.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhile the swing may be huge, it isn't necessarily tied to one factor. Part of the change is in the average starting value of a 911. The 2016 911 that would have been three years old in 2019 would have been a 991-generation car, a generation with a starting base price of under $85,000. The current base price for a 992.2-generation Carrera, by contrast, is over $135,000.That $50,000 increase does not tell the whole story, though. After all, iSeeCars has the average three-year-old 911 transaction at $230,273. In addition to being nearly $100,00 above the 2019 average transaction of $132,369, it is similarly higher than the starting price of a brand-new 911 Carrera off the showroom floor.In addition to the increasing value of a new 911, the average 911 spec may have changed in those years. The popularity of GT3, Turbo, and even more collectible limited-run models like the 911 Sport Classic, Dakar, and S/T have introduced a number of cars that could be exponentially more valuable than the basic 911s on the used market. The appeal of those halo models could raise the value of more basic cars by raising interest in the entire 911 line, too.James LipmanWhile Porsche's rear-engined flagship has seen the biggest uptick, many enthusiast cars have been hit by a similar surge. A three-year-old used Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen is now cited as costing $172,781, a jump of 73 percent from 2019's average transaction price of $99,967. Porsche Cayennes are up 76 percent, and used BMW M3s are up 63 percent, too.AdvertisementAdvertisementSome less sporty cars that saw climbs in value include the Mercedes E-Class at 68 percent, the Acura TLX at 67 percent, and the more basic BMW 3-Series at 60 percent. Across the board, in fact, the price to get into a lightly-used luxury car has increased substantially over just seven years.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
