I can buy a NA Miata engine for $1,000.
Poor folks can’t afford to tinker with a 986 and risk a catastrophic failure that bricks the car.
On top of that Sword of Damocles, all the other parts are freaking expensive. Everything from convertible tops to coffin arms.
Bottom feeders in the market just cannot afford these cars, even if you got a 986 as a gift for free, the care and feeding is not affordable.
It’s all about the Benjamins.

the 986 was always an entry-level porsche. that hasn't changed. same type of owner as 5 or 10 years ago. rennline and pelican going strong. and the 911 wasn't always a $100k collector car.
