My '97 sunroof coupe has also turned out to be a 20K$ car.

I bought it from the original owner, with less than 70K miles, paid what I still think was a good price, and it needed enough - a/c fix, alternator, etc. - to bring it up close to 20K$.

Having tracked the prices of SC's & Carrera 3.2's for quite a few years, I think the price of the 3.2's may, on average, continue to drop slowly for the next few years.

I don't believe these cars are investment-quality vehicles. They are cars to be enjoyed. Fun to learn how to drive well, and interesting to work on, with the added advantage of a great community and knowledgeable parts suppliers [plug for our sponsor]. That's why I'm going beyond the 20K$ with mods, including an sw chip, exhaust, etc.

If you want investments, buy a solid stock if such a thing exists, or better yet, a highly rated, well diversified fund. IMHO, it takes a certain amount of luck to actually make money with collector cars. That being said, I'm sure there are some very lust-worthy Porsches out there - an early 930 & any 959 spring to mind.
