Having just bought a 993 for around the same price I could pick up a 996, I think a lot of people are still after the last of the air cooled - thus their prices are staying high. Not many people are letting them go (well, not too many). Took me four or five months to find a car, and many were sold out from under me.
I spoke to several Porsche dealers - they each told me they don't have 993s come back in because they think sellers get so much more for them on the open market than they'll get in trade that they don't bring them back. I also figure that many P-car owners buying 997s are trading in 996s to get them.
In the end, I was really attracted to having an old air cooled car that was somewhat modern - a 993. I really would be happy with a 996 but it just doesn't seem like a Porsche at first blush, what with the radiators and all...
Guess we'll have to get used to it. Our 993s aren't getting any younger.
