$44k will put you in a well-equipped '05 Carrera S w/ a few miles on it these days, (or close to it). That will probably be my next Porsche. The depreciation curve slams on the brakes at that price for that car and it's 3 times the Porsche of any SC on earth. Including in looks, IMO.

I loved my SC and miss it but they are $14-16k cars in my book and my book doesn't change with crazy market fluctuations. When all of the collectors du jour switch from hula hoops or beanie babies to old Porsches, early 911S cars are still worth $20-25k in my book.
