Thanks for the advice, Milt (or is it Zeke?). I'm just wondering since mid-90s 996s are fairly cheap these days, and while nice, I believe the 997s are much better built, faster and handle better.

kaisen - as to inflation - yes, that can play a role, but I'm not sure how large a role in the used car market. FWIW, the dollar is forecast to be much weaker in the next fiscal year, and possibly years after, due to trade deficit. Democrats predict hard times will be coming, though things are stable now. But who knows.

I do like the 997. But I'm also becoming fond of the Cayman S. What might mitigate the price of both ten years from now, are, I believe:

1) High production numbers.
2) Shared parts with VW/Audi - though I'm not sure average consumers would care - that's more of a Porsche fan's thing.
3) Not as exclusive because of high production numbers.

All-in-all, I think those who already have an air-cooled Porsche, are the ones who will see a vast increase in value as the watercooled Porsches are churned out.

Any thoughts?
