Schizophenic, is what I say, looking at all of those quotes.

BTW, where the heck does he hang out?- "And every porsche nut I came across ripped on everything pre-993 and everything post-993." What Porsche nut says that? A 993 nut maybe, but your average P-car enthusiast certainly is going to have more favorites.

I hope both 993s and 997s drop like rocks. I don't count my car as an investment and lower prices means I can buy more of them!

Engine tray off.

Crazy

(BS)^n, where n is a very large number!

+1, spot on.

I completely agree as I love them all - some more than others...

993 market has nothing to do with the 997 market.

lets not forget that 993 is air cooled and discontinued.

The 996 sank in price while the 993 did not.

997 will continue to sink however it may rebound based on it being a good car and short wheel based when compared to 991.

This is more fun than pulling pig-tails on the playground. If my knowledge of porsches is so "non-existent", than how am I able to elicit such provocative responses. Oh, and thank you all for the ad-hominem attacks. I thought we were above that here.

Mate...you know you've hit the bees nest but much like your pony tail pulling thoughts; you're one of those kids that loves to torture insects aren't you?

Anyway I'm an ex-997 owner...odd huh?

So much gnashing of teeth over monetary value. Do you all remember when you were kids and you loved what you loved because of its intrinsic value, instead of what it would sell for? We have became a society that puts a price on everything, and then weighs the real value on that.

you guys are so sensitive. I really enjoy reading troll post in this forum and watching you'al hyperventilate

Good and well maintained 993 will keep their value. The 997 will continue to drop in price like 996 and Boxster because they are water-cooled mass products. At the end, time will tell and I do not worry about it until I want to buy or sell.

More sour grapes. Coming from a guy who's 911's are a tip and a Carrera that looks like a Boxster.

Why do you guys come over here in the first place? I've never read a single post in the 996 forum.

This

I have no plans for selling my Porsche. It's not my mid-life crisis car - I've wanted a Porsche 911 since I was in high school and now I've got one. I don't care about the value - it's not an investment. If I wanted a good investment I'd buy Twinkies - not a motor car.

I drive my 993 to work, to the supermarket, to the mall, and to the twisty roads in the hills. I never walk away from my car without looking back at it. Every day I catch a different angle and think "wow, that's an attractive car and it's mine!"

I'll leave the thoughts of used market values and depreciation to the Ferrari and Lamborghini owners. They seem to ration their driving out and think only of the person who's going to own their car after them.
