Give me a break!
Cars are meant to be driven. They are not designed to sit in a garage all day. These people should be taken out and forced to trade in their Porsches for a Corvette or something.

Michael,
This is just part of The Grand Plan where the "unworthy" buy these cars new in order create a steady supply of nice used Porsches for the less affluent but more appreciative used Porsche buyers like us.

In general why do 993 hold their value so much better than 996? Where I live you can easily find a 2000 996 with low miles in the high 50s and a 1999 in the very high 40s, much lower than the 993 prices at the beginning of this thread?

Because 993 are no longer in production... better fit and finish, last of a line of air/oil cooled cars, great A/C, depreciation holding on good, nostalgia, it feels more like a race car than the 996 (although they tell me that the new C4S with the sport muffler is sweet... ...I have a test drive scheduled next month... ...let's see) (Jaime, dreaming of buying a 993 C2S or C4S and a 996 C4S with sport muffler... but with only US$5.00 in my wallet
