In 2000, Bought a 77 911 Carrera 3.0 and sold for family reasons. Bought 986 S 2.5 in 2015. Enjoy but college looming so who knows what will happen. Just a car so no biggie if I need to sell, though hate to buy another one in 10 years when the prices have tripled. 😄

Throughout my life, I've owned 7 Porsches (out of 20+ cars total) including my current 986. Every time, I was buying the car for its capabilities, not the brand, nor anything to do with perceived status (I couldn't care less). Driven a bunch of '911's but never owned one. Great cars, but for some reason they just don't connect with me. Really enjoying my 986, although I do regret selling my 2005 XKR. That supercharged 4.2L V8 rocked.

I do tend to search out cars that are unique in some way (the 550 Anniversary, my XKR with the rare 'competition' suspension option, etc), but only because they call out to me personally.

A 77 Carrera 3.0 would be nice to still have especially with what the values are now. I feel that way about the 964 and 78 SC that I had.
