No question which one is the collectible in the bunch, but heck, sub 20K for a 996, why have beater honda or VW? You put a GT3 body kit and stiffer shocks, and you have yourself a damn nice $25K beast !

Good point Greg - the newer cars - with 20 years of suspension innovation will absolutely walk an earlier car. They will even give a modified car fits. They are alot of car for the money - but they are also alot of things that can go wrong for the money which I think is what is driving down the used car prices. I have a friend that's a checkbook mechanic with a 996. When things go wrong - it puts a pretty good ding in that checkbook!
