Get in after 20K miles (or so) and get out by 50K miles. This way the original owner takes the depreciation hit. The next owner takes the equally big hit on major maintenance items that start to rear their heads. There's a sweet spot there where you get a hassle free experience (for the most part) and get "best money" for the car when you sell...
That seems to be a sound strategy for buying cars based on monetary value, but I see it as a moot point in 2016 regarding most 986s.
