996 - The next classic??
I get an email today from Porsche..........
They are making new accessories for the 996. I'm old enough to have seen and owned all the models from the 70's onwards that were dogged as duds in their day, now become overpriced classics, maybe the 996 is next.
Heck, a mint 2.0 Litre 991T Tan Sporto is now selling for quarter of a million dollars, who would have thought, you couldn't give them away years ago.......just saying
From Porsche Markeing today........
Porsche Classic Genuine Parts.
Accessory highlights for your 996.
The 996. A success model, that was as impressive then as it is now. A good reason to maintain its originality after all these years - made possible with the Porsche Classic genuine accessories.

I did this to one of my original, beat up keys. It's a nice upgrade.

You never know. The Pontiac Aztek, known as the worst and ugliest American car ever made, is gaining momentum. They are supposedly going up in value.

We can thank Breaking Bad for it's undeserved new popularity.

One of the most significant things that drives a classic car's value up is rarity.
The 996 was made in much larger numbers than the earlier models, so I don't see it as following them to the highs they are reaching now.
But a classic it definitely is, and it will be an appreciating classic. It's not easy to find a car you can enjoy driving so much that won't devalue....
