But you are correct about having cash. It was king, and allowed you to pounce when a great car did hit the market.
The rarer 993's held up well but according to Excellence the more run of the mill 993's were still near - 12% to -15% hit from the top of the credit bubble in 2007 to the bust in 2009. Albeit not as bad as the 996's some of which fell from the $50-60K range by nearly $20-$25k in just those two years. I was surprised to see, contrary to popular belief, that well maintaned 2.7 and 3.2 986's were only in the -18% to - 20% range for that time.
