My Glorified VW Beetle

Ill trade you 20k in wheels for that car lol

most of the actually driven ones will have a blown motor.

Quite the opposite if you ask me. If you browse the 996 forums, most of the guys who complain about how much maintenance their car requires or how often it is in the shop are the guys with 20k mile garage queens who let it sit in their garage for months at a time while waxing it with their semen every weekend while they congratulate themselves on owning a Posche.

Guys like me (105k miles on mine now) who actually drive and use our cars basically change the oil and replace wear items as needed. Plenty of guys on the forums with 200k+ miles on their 996s.

Shitty early narrowbody 996's still go for like 20-30 grand around my area and turbos are around 40. I think 996's will be a collectors item because in 10 years most of the actually driven ones will have a blown motor.

I don't want to be a dick but is it maybe because it's a 996?

I'm under the impression that they've held their value the worst out of any Porsche. I'm not sure if it will appreciate upwards any in the future. You would know better than me though :0

Being a 996 is definitely a part of it; but when I say the 911 market is dead right now, I mean it's dead for all generations around here. It's really odd. The C4S (which mine is) is one of the more desirable and sought-after 996s because of the Turbo drivetrain and wide body. Personally, I don't think the narrow-body 996 has any chance of ever being a "classic", but I can say with a pretty decent amount of confidence that the GT2/GT3/Turbo/C4S variants will become collectors items at some point.

The Porsche market in my area is dead right now, so I guess I'm just going to hang onto the car for now (unless someone here wants to buy it? ). I sold the Rotiforms and the car is getting a makeover right now.

Well, my car ADD is kicking in again and I think it's time for another project.

I've got an itch for an air-cooled 911 that needs to be scratched (thinking something from the 70's).

I prefer wagons, but I am very okay with this too, lol

I know its a porsche and all but I say tuck it

This thing could be causing necks to break if low...

It's been done (not that anything hasn't)...and I bet the car is far too much fun as is.

And, by the way, it looks fantastic, Mr. Obvious.

Thanks. I keep thinking about selling the wheels just to switch things up a bit, but I'm not sure what I'd replace them with.

1. the C4S is the best looking 996
2. those wheels look outstanding

Love this car! Keep up the good work man.
