I doubt this very much. The typical second-hand buyer does not care if its NA or if there are six monkeys in there turning foot pedals. All they see if the brand and model. They probably care more about the color than the engine style.
But the bigger issue is that there are simply
way to0 many 996, 997 and 991 in the market for sale. Their values really can't be sustained with a belt-tightening pool of second-hand buyers that have their pick of the litter. Not long from now anyone willing to roll the dice on an out-of-warranty fragile German luxury car requiring over-priced parts and specialized labor will be able to buy one for the same $20k that air-cooled cars used to go for in the early to mid 2000's. That's a tough sell unless you've been wanting one for a really long time.
