It's 30-40 years before they become a collectable.
How many people have 10 years or more and the space to set on a car?
Luckily, unlike stocks or bonds, you get to enjoy a car. I horse traded for my Roadster over 10 years ago, it was worth about $40,000 at the time. I've enjoyed it for years, it probably worth 3-4 times that now.
So if you bought a 996 Turbo now, enjoyed it for 10-15 years it would be worth much more. Compare that to going and buying an Audi or a Mini, in 10-15 years it will be close to worthless.
