DD'd my car for about a year. But I do a lot of miles and park in crowded lots filled with lotsa not-so-nice cars, so I now DD a Civic. It's less painful when the Civic gets a door ding.
Most guys on the turbo forum think it's nuts, too. We're pre-bubble owners for the most part, so while Haggerty might say our cars are worth $100K, most of us are of the opinion that if someone shows up on our doorsteps with a suitcase of that money, the car is theirs.
Your 930 is going to be worth a bit more, as it's an '89 (most desirable year due to the 5-speed) and a cab. I've noticed that once a car hits collector status, cabs seem to command slightly more than (or the same value as) a coupe. Targas usually a little less. So an '89 930 cab is just about the pinnacle of the design.
In contrast, I've noticed that for 993s and 964s, the appreciation is mostly in the coupes. The cabs and targas are worth less (than coupes) right now. So maybe the 911 to buy for appreciation value is a 993 cab. They go for about $40K. The coupes are $10-20K more, and some day those cabs will be worth as much (if not more) than the coupes. My $0.02: right now, the 964/993 market is being driven by enthusiasts, still. Richer enthusiasts, but enthusiasts nonetheless. 911 guys like to drive their cars. So a 911 coupe is a purer sporting/racing driving experience than a cab or targa (or at least that's the perception). So 964 and 993 coupes are worth the most (for their respective generations), and the cabs and targas lag behind. At some point, collectors will step in and then the cabs will catch up to the coupes in value. Try finding a 964 C2 coupe in manual. They don't exist on the market. But if you want a 964 cab in 4WD with a Tiptronic (the least desirable 964 to track), those can be had all day long...right now.
