Nope. WAY too many NA cars made. They will never have any collector value, in my not so humble opinion.

well we all know what opinions are like...

Lots of muscle cars including Corvettes were mass produced and many of them are collector cars now.

Just because there were lots produced doesn't mean they wont be collectible at some point

I have a 04 996 Targa which is NA and they only made around 500 in 2004, might be worth something someday. In the mean time, we are gonna have fun and drive the **************** out of it. Although I do like driving my Boxster better

[QUOTE=san rensho;432831]Nope. WAY too many NA cars made.

But they're ( M96) dropping like flies and the few that are left (unappreciated, fragile and expensive to repair)will offer a way (analogue) of driving that is about to disappear...

Heck - some of the toys I grew up with in the 80's are collectors items! Who knows what will or won't become a collectors item. Drive and enjoy the car as much as possible and if we luck out and they become worth something, awesome. If not, who cares - the fun we are having more than compensates!
