What does the future look like for the 986?

They made almost 200k 986's, but due to the cost of maintaining them properly, I agree with everyone else, well maintained 986's will do very well longterm. It also doesn't hurt that they are fantastic handling convertible sports cars.

I also think the design of the 986 is superior to later models, which will make the 986 more attractive to collectors over time. The 986 is the model most in keeping with the original 550 Spyder design inspiration.

As an 81 year old Boxter owner and having been involved with interesting cars for most of my life I think all sports cars go through a life cycle of depreciation and appreciation you only need to look at the prices for cars from the 50's and 60's now to confirm this,

I have had my 986 for 5 years now and I think it has improved in value to the extent that I would get a return of what I have spent lncluding Ln engineering DOF ims solution. I am not selling, will go to one my sons I expect.
