owning multiple 911's
I'm a new 911 owner (997.1 C2S), and I'm already dreaming of owning another 911 someday or maybe more. I use mine as a daily driver. I'm most interested in the cars that are obtainable for a good value right now. For instance, a 996 Turbo. Anyone else out there with goals to own a stable of 911's or have already achieved this dream?

Not a stable for me unfortunately, but I used to have both a 996 turbo and a '74 Targa.
In my personal view, multiple 911s make sense as long as they are reasonably complementary. I don't think I'd do a 996tt at the same time as a 997. The two cars are two close to each other power level aside. maybe if the 997 is a C2 and one of the two is a cab, but even then they're still all-rounder cars where I'd end up thinking if I sell them both I could buy a 997.2tt or a CPO 991.2 and probably would do that instead.

I’d been searching for a tt since 2016. I ended up with a 19 gt3 and then the tt I’d been looking for turned up at a 75k discount (16 w/ 60k miles in lava orange). They’re different enough. I didn’t think I’d have two.

it is abnormal to own one 911
5 would be a good start and sky is the limit
any 996 variant that's non GT# are good value
middies are good too
everything else, you missed the boat.

I have multiple 911's (see signature) and they all quirky and different from another. I love the power of my 2010 GT3 and an AC that actually works.
I live where it gets 100+ in the summer.
I also like my early cars for what they are. The G body air cooled cars are still obtainable 1978-1989. I have an 1983 911SC and its bone stock and the
car just works. Its peppy enough and very reliable. If you want to try out having an air cooled car this seems to be a much smaller investment than a LWB Porsche or a 964/993
You can still find 1984-1989 Carreras in the mid 30's. Those are solid cars that you can just drive.
I am with Mooty 996 Non GT3's are a bargain. Recently I saw a 2004 996C4S with 30K miles and hard back sport seats go for $30K it need a IMS update but that is a bargain and a great weekend. car.
Good luck in your search.

I have aquired multiple 911s in last 10 years. They all each offer a different driving experience. It is hard just settle with one.
That being said, maintaining them all is a full time job. Sometimes i consider simplifying and sell some. But unless the market is right, i continue to hold.
You need to get yourself an air cooled porsche next.
