But those barn find RS cars will always be top dollar on account bof the fact that Porsche didn't make a million of those type Carreras.
But at the end of the day you're buying a used car to enjoy. So if the price is right for you and don't feel like waiting for the market-correcting "reality check" like we saw in 2009, then who is too say what price is insane or not. Give it 20 years and these cars will not be 550 money. The big fans for these cars are not spilling over into the younger generations who will for the most part not be as well off and dont have nearly the emotional attachment as guys who learned to drive in the 70's and 80's.
Then there's the issue of having people who can still fix the more ubiquitous air-cooled varieties.... at reasonable rates. Analog is a dying art.

Perfect - Air cooled engines are easy to fix. They were built to last in the first place, and they easy to service by comparison to "modern" cars (or even a 986). They simply don't have the complex systems, or electronics.
Coreseller - as you know, the 993 "S" is a very very hot car. For those that don't know, the "S" is the wide body variant of the 993. It has the body and features of the turbo, without the mechanical risk (and complexity) of owning the turbo long term. In hindsight, I wish I bought the S too...although, I still might. And for the record, I drive my 993 pretty much all the time too.
Also, I'm not trolling -- but my 6 year old is looking over my shoulder and wants the troll:
