10 years later the second hand market adds like $200 for that upgrade.

I believe it's fairly easy to break down Porsche buyers into 2 categories.
Those that buy for the looks or those that buy for the driving performance.
Sure some split those attributes evenly but when 2001 996TT base MSRP was $114,000 few can afford to have it all.
