It's no secret I do not like the 996....in fact I've been fairly vocal about these things not having a valuation floor. The interior sucks, the styling is abysmal, the as-delivered motor is pedestrian at best and the gear box suffers at heat. Just a weak 911 variant.

That said, it looks like the 3.6's have finally bottomed out, for no reason other than the cost of the drivetrain. 2 years ago you could grab a core all day at $2500-3000, now we can't find them for any less than $6,500. I think that alone holds the value of these things above $15k.

The 3.4 is a different story; I see no floor there....just an awful car soup to nuts IMHO.

NOTE: all the vitriol aside, I own of these things. Dump enough time and money into it and they make a great race car.
