The 996 prices are dropping but like other Porsches in the past the prices will Plateau into a range where its slightly out of reach for the average person. This is the advantage of owning a now much more reliable Porsche, for the right price it will attract a first time Porsche owner. Can't really say that about other more exclusive brands because the costs of fixing their high mileage models scares off 1st time buyers who can't afford a new version. That 1st Time Porsche buyer then becomes the guy Who buys a second and third Porsche.

as time passes you'll see certain well maintained and low mileage 996's start to gain value. I think the 2002-2004 996 will best fill this resurgence. The Turbos and GT3/2 at the sharp end, kinda like the more popular 928's.
If Porsche sticks with the round head lights on the 911's, the fried egg and Turbo head light Porsches could become historical as an icon of when Porsche went from nearly bankrupt boutique to profitable VW-partner, as well as having a different look from all the other VW looking 911's of the last 50 years.
