The 997, especially the 997.2 S is an exceptional car, big improvement over the 996. If you (jeffm) are anything like me, the act of driving a 996 was different but not really any sort of upgrade (unless TT) since it felt pretty much exactly like the Boxster sitting in it with more or less identical interiors and hood / fenders and view out of cockpit.
Coincidental for me I got a call yesterday morning from a good friend who is a dealer and was eying an '02 base Box at auction, he knew little about them and wanted me to look it over and drive it. 106k, 5 speed, new top, silver paint in Exc. Condition along with arrow straight body, interior in pretty good shape too, he got it for $7900. The car has a couple of small issues but I just kept looking at it amazed at the value these things are nowadays.
For me at least, I would never consider selling my 993 and getting another 986 (or 996 for that matter). Values aside, I just like the 993 driving experience much better. Keep looking Jeff, you now have the benefit of hindsight before making your next decision.
