I've got a garage queen '90 C2 with 34k on the clock that I've had since 2000. It's pretty mint (I've got the trophy's and score sheets to prove it) and only goes to concours events. I've stopped driving it a lot so it holds on to a bit of value.
I've had several unsolicted offers for the car and two appraisals from experienced 911 brokers. Based on those facts, I could almost make money on this car (not factoring in interest that could have been made if the money was invested instead of sitting in a dumb car).
While this car will never (and I mean never) be as desireable as the 1987 to 1989 G-50 equipped 3.2 cars and the 993's that followed, there seems to be a demand for very low mileage (mine's not all that low mileage either), near mint condition 964 C2's with limited slip in desireable colors. Even though mine is not perfect, I could sell mine in about 5 minutes if I wanted to.
However, they never will be collector cars and it'll take another 15 to 20 years before these things start to really appreciate. The 964's (while I personally love them) will always be looked upon as the ugly duckling of the 911 world right down there with the 2.7 cars just due to the heavy front bumpers and the motor issues that can happen. It's a stigma that will never go away.
I'd never buy a 964 for an investment unless you get to one of the more rare versions (America Roadster, Speedster, Anniversary ('94) car).
Atlantic: Welcome to 964 ownership. This color combo on your car is stunning in person. Your pic above doesn't do the car justice (that's a compliment!). You'll love the car. If they are well sorted, they are the bargin of the modern 911's.
