Its interesting to me - having debated an air cooled G body car in 2012, bought one in early 2013 and followed the market since - how there seem to be close to zero threads debating the relative merits of SC, 3.2, 915, G50, 964, 993, top ends etc - its just shut up and buy as fast as you can. I'm not saying anything in particular about the market (there is plenty of ink spilled on that) just saying that it points to a casualty of the market - actual critical thinking about the cars in question! I mean let's be honest... if you had asked someone in 1995 how they fancied a rust prone 911T with 110hp on a good day, $12k engine rebuild if you're lucky and twice that to make it rust free and shine perfectly, they'd say no thanks. What's changed about the car itself? I guess whats changed, as mentioned elsewhere is that its not really a "car" anymore.

Around 2013 I noticed the strangely low prices turbos were going for compared to their NA counterparts and debated picking one up for the ~40k the were going for, then I realized there is no where around here for me to stretch its legs, I don't want to live with 9mpg city and I'd get much more joy out of lavishing time and upkeep on my 3.2 than having a car that isn't exactly what I wanted. Today if I saw one for 40k I'd be sprinting to the bank... and I would be looking at it as a rolling mutual fund more than a car.

Just saying.
