I will offer a contrary view to the OP. I disagree that 997.1 prices are suddenly trending down. Similar to another poster, I rode the wave of trending value on my 993 to buy my 2005 997S 6spd coupe in mid 2013. Having followed values pretty closely for sometime before that, and certainly ever since, I would argue that summer of 2013 was actually the lowest point so far for the 997.1. I purchased during a (lucky) short term dip in values where several nice S models were in upper and even mid 30s. Shortly thereafter, they were all back up over 40 or even 45 at the lower end of reasonably nice examples. This has remained fairly flat for the past year+ delaying the absolutely inevitable depreciation to come from such a mass produced Porsche.
My theory is that all the hype around Porsche in the past couple years has had a rub off effect on these cars, especially the ones at the entry price points - 996 being the exception for a variety of reasons we wont get in to.
That all said, amazing car to buy, and if depreciation is turning back on, it's pretty slow
