Are these good values and will be collectible one day or are they just terrific to drive and won't hold their value to a greater degree? Seems like lot's of car for 85K .... Thoughts ?

You can get a turbo for not much more.

Good cars but not a collectible. If you looking for a 997 collectable buy a 11/12 Turbo 6spd Coupe. Very few made and already gaining buzz in the collector world. Also the GT3, GT3RS & Speedster will be the collectables obviously in the 997 family.

Thanks for the comments...

I thought with so few around, both the AWD, increased hp and center lock wheels would make them a bit more special.... Maybe there are fewer because people bought the turbo instead.

They are a bit more special than the run of the mill 997.2, they're just not as special as the others mentioned.

The problem with looking at it as a "special" collector car is you cant drive it. If you find a nice low miles one is tip top shape with records which would make it a candidate for a future collectible, you're not going to go out and mile it up.
