[Tervuren]

Personally, I browse cars, if a car I really want goes into what I can afford, and I have space; I'll buy it.
I'm not too concerned with future values of cars as I already own cars I really enjoy.
If something I want but do not have goes up, I'll just shop some other car.

Take the Supra Turbo, a good example is way out of my present price range, perhaps it will always be out of my price range.
However, the C5 Corvette was not.
So I have a C5 Corvette and not a Supra. I'm happy with either one.

If 911's stay higher than I want to spend, I won't buy one.
Also, I notice as I get older, what I'm willing to spend goes up.
I suppose the real question is about if the 911 upswing is a generational price swing similar to muscle cars; or is it longer lasting?

The 911 has a multi-generational appeal.
This in turn, changes the first question to be if younger set are acquiring the financial situation to keep the higher prices going on into the future.
I think the air cooled cars are safe as it has a lot of appeal to what is currently appealing to the next generation "Steam Punk", I think they call it.
It is just a matter of financial future for the younger generation. The water cooled 911's, I'm not so sure.
