I look at the 92-96 zf6 market daily, on every platform imaginable. There are several cars that have been for sale for months.
You were not the "right buyer" who was really itchin' to make a C4 purchase, so I agree with you on that. AND I'm not talking about ripping off a buyer, just going towards the "high end" of the K.B.B. private sales price when the car is in great condition and looks sweet. Selling during good weather & tax refund months is a good idea!

I used to think the same in the 1990's and early 2000's, but I think drcook has it nailed for today. Evidence? Obviously the Model T and A market. But also 60's muscle cars, restored anything (unless it has real unique provenance), street rods and stuffed dolls leaning on the fenders, where are they?
Anytime someone points to Model Ts and Model As as rationale for why the market is drifting down, two cars that are completely unusable in any way shape or form on today's roads, they I know that are not serious with their comments. What I keep on seeing in the marketplace are the prices for real documented big blocks going up year after year. How do you explain the few black & blue 67 big blocks being sold in the last 2 or so years for prices in the $600K to $700K range? I do believe that many of the lower quality C2s will not survive, but that is how collector cars are always affected by the economic times. Please tell me why early Porsche 911s or 365s keep going up in value. They are also too old for most to remember and the number on the market are probably similar to the C1/2s.

911s keep (well, kept, they're dropping now) going up due to speculation. A lot of people got into them when they were outperforming the stock market, and the early adopters made a bunch of money. Their prices have stabilized and appear to be slowly trending down, as people begin to realize they are not going to return a profit on them. Certainly early Turbos are still doing well, but run of the mill air cooled cars are beginning to drop as people try to cash out, and the guys who got in late lose.

In 3 to 5 years the 993s and earlier will likely be cheap again unless they do a small double bounce in that time frame.

I'd love a clean 6 speed manual 993. And I don't even like 911s that much.
