But it's amazing how the 911TT prices have held up verses it's arch nemesis F355. And from what I've gleaned on a quick internet search the # manufactured isn't all that different from the Turbo, granted it doesn't have the model level splits like the 911's. Fantasy Junction recently had a 27k miles, standard shift, grey metallic GTB F355 that was listed at circa $60k. It had everything going for it and sold quick but a 911TT let alone a 911TTS would have easily commanded a greater price.

F355s have developed a reputation for being finnicky, problematic, and extremely expensive to fix.
Cars that have had the headers, valve guides, and other standard repairs done (plus a recent belt service), hold their value much better.

From Wiki (yeah, I know)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_993
993TT production 5978. Which is where I think his number came from
I'm not the expert some here are, but I was told that the 993 engine internals and casings featured far more forgings than the water pumpers. If I'm wrong, my bad, just what I was told, not what I know...
I do know about F355's however, and while it is a cool little car, it's no 993TT in any way. Again, take it to the track and it comes apart quickly.

It's the same people that are driving the prices of Riviera Blue, Turquoise Blue......Rennlisters!!!!
I do not know a single person outside of Rennlist or 6Speed nor Pelican who care for either of these colors.
Same goes for viper green and orange...

I remember in the 90's Ferrari Dino's asking 60-80k ("A beginner Ferrari - but is it really a Ferrari") and now the go for 200k and are adored as Ferrari's. The trouble I have with 993TT's going up in value is that there are 5000+ copies out there? 993TTS is genuinely rare. I'm always surprised by the number of relatively low mileage 993TT that come out of the wood work. I could be wrong but IIRC San Francisco Sports Cars had a 993TTS with 84k miles and were asking $150 it was promptly sold a couple months ago. I'm trying to figure out where all the 996GT2's are?
A 246 Dino just sold for $325k

"8. 1997-1998 993 C2Ss- These cars are already hallowed ground as the ultimate expression of air-cooled 911s. Some classic Porsche dealers have made a living off reselling low-mileage examples, especially valued in pastel colors."

That's because all the smart enthusiasts are on Rennlist. And maybe you missed the recent article in the June 2012 issue of Panorama, page #38 by Prescott Kelly,:

"smart enthusiasts are on Rennlist" well said!
