Can't say that I agree with that??? I owned a 944 and so did my brother. They were fun cars but electrical nightmares! The 944 has very dated lines that were meant to be modern (at the time) as where the 986 is much more timeless and were purposely designed to have hints of Porsches from the past.

In my opinion, the Box is a much more refined car. Besides, a convertible will almost always be more desirable as a classic than a hard top.

Even a nice clean older Miata will hold it's value to a point (now thats a mass produced car). Any clean, well maintained sporty convertible will have followers that will pay extra for a nice representation. I'm not saying that the 986 is going to be worth a million dollars but as time goes by, nice clean low mileage representations will be hard to find. I think they have hit rock bottom prices at this point.
