If anything, I think 993 prices are still on the downward trend, while Carrera prices are holding steady. But hey, I have no crystal ball. I guess the questions are: for how much could you sell the Carrera? And how much would a quality 993 run you? I have no idea on the condition of your car, but what's a realistic ballpark price for your car? Somewhere in the low-20's? Maybe mid-20's if it's in really cherry condition. What's a good 993 go for, $30-40K? Obviously the '95 vintage 993 will be on the lower end of that price spectrum. You could find a 993 for as low as the mid-20's, though, if you'd accept something a little rough around the edges. YMMV.

Thanks Noah, That does put it into perspective. I think that you were right "Significantly" might be a stretch.

But I thought 993's as they were the last of the air-cooled the value would appreciate, and they do seem to have a timeless look without looking dated.
