When it comes to the 944, the buy in price reflects the cost of ownership. If it was no trouble, they'd be worth a lot more. Because there *always* seems to be some little tidbit you'd like to fix, they *always* cost a steady stream of money, and this shrinks the buyer pool to either those ignorant of these facts, or to those willing to spend the time/money. The second group is savvy to what it costs to own, and are not likely to spend a lot on something that is going to cost a lost.
Odds are, the 'Vette has lower ownership costs. Easier to make a profit on it.
Personally, its the car I enjoy driving, I don't mind working on it. I do not plan on selling it outside of a life emergency, so the "sell value" doesn't factor in the picture. Perhaps it does factor in a little, in making me NOT want to sell it.
