Prices Keep Drifting Up

Funny thing is that a set of wheel spacers does wonders for the look and stance of any aero and non-aero 996. New set of wheels can alter the look from classic (Fuchs) to modern (Apex) and everything in between.
Add Ann aero kit or the ducktail and you only enhance the lines without looking like a 20 year old designed your car.
Add Cup aero and you got a serious looking track car.
You can dress the lady any way you want to enhance the curves and lines. Try that on a 991/992. You can't.

^^^ Entry level in cost/price only - performance wise it's still only 3 generations old... People who don't know any more than "it looks like a Porsche" - have no clue how old it is. My friends & acquaintances are always surprised by the age of my car (and they never mention the headlights...)

Perhaps for the record on color, when searching for the 996 these were the deal breakers and I would have bought a different car: exterior in black, white or guards red. Interior in black.

There's a trend I'm noticing with older cars. There seems to be two stages. Stage 1 at around 15 - 25 years where they're cheap and plentiful enough for most people to buy and normal used car rules still apply - Lower mileage, popular styles, options and colors all help to get a better price. Stage 2 is when the cars get older, there are fewer good examples and they start becoming true "classics". At that point only more knowledgeable car people are interested & prices start going up. The pricing seems opposite from normal used car rules. Mileage is no longer an issue and rare factory options & colors command a higher value. Does anyone else notice this?
