I'd never pay up for a stocker, but then I don't "invest" in or "collect" cars...I like to drive them a lot and hard.

What you all may find interesting is that the valuation conversation seems to permeate almost all Porsches these days. I'm visiting the 997 turbo forum on RL these days (more active then Pelican on those models) and it seems like a large number of threads discuss value, 997.1 turbos as future collectibles due to being the last of the mezger engined, and manual trans turbos, etc.

Probably the safest haven from this mindset is to be among brand new 991 Porsche buyers who plan on extracting value from their cars through driving experiences. Unless it's a "special" model, I can't imagine anyone rolling off the lot in their new 130k 911 thinking that it's going to do anything but depreciate...so they drive them all the time, confident that when it comes time to sell the car will be worth substantially less than they paid for it.

Thanks I thought the same. But it is what it is. They are the "experts" I'm not sellin so it doesn't matter the only thing I wanted it for is if something happened to mine I would have enough $ to replace it if necessary.
