[JossP80]

Watching values has been so interesting...

I was originally on pelican in the early 2000s, and purchased a cream P uff 912e for $5,500. Within a few years I got into a 987, then a 981. I came back here earlier this year to finally get into the aircooled 6 for which I grew up dreaming.

Aircooled values are insane! As much as I THINK I want to, I can't bring myself to fork out $30,000 for a middie, when I'm looking it high mileage 997 money. I could get a pretty good Cayman S and think nothing of striping it into a fun hot rod (my previous 987 and 981 were new off the lot and I couldn't bring myself to mess with them under warranty).

I'm not sure it can be argued that there are better Porsche sports cars for comparable money to any aircooled (save for subjective measures like personality, uniqueness, style, nostalgia, etc).

I'll always love aircooled 911s, but assessing for overall value for what they're trading at now... It's a tough call.
