Thanks Jake. I assume you'd also recommend an SC to keep longer term?

Absolutely. Can't go wrong with an SC, Carrera or 993 in the long term. The only cars that seem to have stagnated are the 964 series.

Jake, what do you mean stagnated? Is it the market for 964's that has?

Yes, they are gaining value slower than cars earlier or later than them... I care nothing about the 964 series, the only one I'd want would be an RS A.

When I was looking it was for primarily a 993 or late 80's 3.2 with the G50 box, like you for whatever reason the 964's never did much for me.

Many of the prognosticators say the 964 is on the cusp of a value breakthrough, who knows. The recent pop in value doesn't mean squat to me, I was just so damn tickled to snag one a few years back and have been enthralled with it so much since that I doubt I'd ever sell regardless of the market.....

To me they are an over complex version of a simple car.. I hate the exhaust arrangement most of all!
