Should I get what I had, another 911?
Or step up to a Cayman?
The choice is getting pretty clear.
The Cayman is a much better road car.
What does that do to the price of the 911?
For one, one more did not sell.
These are quickly becoming stable cars, not drivers cars.
Follow the 956 histories I will bet the graph will be somewhat the same, but to a lesser extent because today's generation that will follow us, is not a hands-on bunch of doers.
They are computer clickers.

Ohhh pleze...what is the value of a MB 500K from the 30's?. What kind of appeal does that car have? The low production P cars fall into that class. Porsches by definition have not been grocery getter pile the family in and go to church on Sunday autos. They have always been a special interest auto.
Now some people want to be snarky and be picky about not "everybody" liken em. Let us amend and say they have a universal appeal among auto affectionados. I suppose if you live in the Amazon Basin or in the remote darkness of the Congo you might not be enthralled with em...but barring that...
The problem with the Ford T and A models is that it is not a modern auto that is suited to driving on the streets anymore. It is horse and buggy by comparison. Most cars from the 50's on still can at least hold their own in the slow lane.
