Will the 987 Boxsters become classics?

[demick]

Sure they will, but it will take a long time. 40+ years probably. It will take as long as it takes for them to become scarce, and then they will be 'classics'.

But I wonder about how well modern cars will hold up. Cars from 30 and more years ago were simple compared to cars today. So maintaining an early 911 is reasonable for driveway mechanic. But today, there are so many electronics and plastics used, that in 30 or 40 years, nobody will be able to continue to maintain such an old car - due to parts availability, complexity and cost. So yes, they will become very scarce - and therefore, the survivors will be valuable classics.

Now go put your 987 in a vault for 40 years........
