I think the biggest future problem of the 964's (minus RS America) is the looks. Even the RS America is just Ok to me. The 993 is my second to the 73 RS/RSR as the "best looking 911". The 964 are just not attractive. And the 4wd models are complex and have horrible understeer.
From the ads I have seen a "nice" 964 (22-25K) is not that cheaper than a nice 993 (25-30K). Long term I think the $5k would be worth it. Plus you get more power/refinement and much better handling. You can run larger tires (I am running 285 rears). I am impressed how well my 993 rides and handles, even with 18's. One factor on mine is the "Gert" matched Bilt sus/H&R springs.
But to me the 993 RS is just a great looking car that I like to walk up to. That is a critical factor when investing in a car, does it excite you both visually and when driving it. Not many cars do both I think.
