Cars go through a progression from new car to used car to old car and, if they survive long enough, to collectibe or classic car. During the old car phase a lot of cars are weeded out because their maintenance or repair costs make them uneconomical to keep. 987s still seem to be in the used car phase while 986s have hit the old car phase. At some point either 986s are going to rise to the level of 987s or 987s are going to dip to the 986 price point. At some point they’re going to both be collectible. It hasn’t been that long since long-nose 911s were the least desired out of all the 911s. The 986s could become the most desired Boxsters.
