Since no purchase, that most people can afford, will ever be an investment - get what you like. That said, a few years ago I bought a 1969 Boss 302 Mustang to "feel the car" and have the absolute driver's car with no extras or weight... blah, blah,...

That was great but didn't last. Most of us like the creature comforts of modern living like - AC, power brakes, door locks..... The Boxster hands-down out handles, out performs, is more comfortable than an old 911 and, of course, they are convertibles. A 911SC with a whale-tail in Guard's Red is certainly a classic. Maybe too classic for me.
