It is also almost impossible in Germany to stay in business if you're not making money. Porsche can only afford to produce the number of cars they can sell and make a profit on. They can not afford to make cars to sell to too few buyers at 20% off sticker.

 

If the world economic situation remains unhinged and the dollar weakens you can count on continuing slippage for Porsche AG...great cars won't save the company. Not only are the most recent sales numbers in the toilet look at the big picture. CEO Weideking just bailed (with a $73 mil severence) and his pal CFO Harter also left. The company is listing heavily to starboard with almost $15 BILLION in debt. The German economy, like all Europe, is very sick and a base 2010 turbo coupe will cost you average Deutschlander $214,007 next month. GOOD LUCK.......I really hope that this venerable marque can hang on.

 

Hard to say . Much depends on what year or model . The 993 cars held value and still do . The 996 cars on the other hand went Timberrrrrrrr!!!!! Even when the economy was up .

In fact the down economy may have strengthened 996 used market for the buyer who MUST have a Porsche and hasn't got much to spend.
