Totally agree with Perfectlap.

I love the 986/987 Boxsters, but the post '97-ish watercooled cars will never retain their value the way earlier cars did (save for anything Mezger-powered) because of the volume of units Porsche pushed.

The air-cooled, up-to-993 values have shot through the roof! I'm kicking myself for not buying up a near-perfect SC I test drove 10 years ago for $11,000! They're up to $20,000 now.

I do think right now is the time to buy a 996 GT3, though. I think it's a ton of car for current values!
