986 as a future classic

[DWBOX2000]

I don’t think they will ever be a super, sought after car due to the volume and the bad rap they got. Honestly I actually prefer that since it gives me more freedom to mess with it and not worry about ruining a future classic. Anyhow, I am a big fan, I have a 2.5 and a 3.2. Both awesome in their own ways. My prediction, I do think they will have more of a cult following. People who have them will continue to buy them while others are tempted elsewhere. People who know, know. Oh, Spec racing certainly isn’t hurting the model either.

I agree. I've been making changes to my car since I bought it. If I had to be concerned about affecting its value, I would still be riding around with an outdated sound system and a convertible top with a plastic rear window. I also would not have driven it almost 120,000 miles.

When I bought my Boxster, I wanted it to serve as a form of transportation that made a chore (driving back and forth to work) a bit more fun. I treat the car well, but I don't think I am fastidious enough to be a classic car owner.

Just watch the disinterest when a Boxster is offered on Mecum. If offers come fast and prices rise, then it has potential. But that doesn't seem to be happening.

The number of people who have the mechanical experience to maintain one and/or have access to a good P-car mechanic is limited. And as they age, they need work.
