If that is the case, then why are 996 turbos on the increase and once that reaches a certain point, values of 996 4S will firm up.
Thats certainly true of course, but doesnt change my point. The only water cooled cars on the up are Mezger engined ones, which sort of proves the point further.

I suppose there are some exceptions but they are special cars made in low numbers

997 GTS, SC
991 GT3, CC and 50

Why is the GTS a special 997? Nice car, lovely in fact. But surely another gen 2 with lots of options sums it up.

I suppose so, but its seen as a special model and if anything, has increased in value.

Mine feels very special every time I drive it! And it was purchased from 911V

As time goes on, demand for watercooled will increase. As the kids who read about these things are able to buy them then demand will surely increase.

Even at current prices, from a pure driving point of view, I am not sure a 993 is a lot better than a good 996, let alone 4 times as much.

Whilst I look at 911s in the water and air cooled eras, I also look at them as the rusty and non rusty eras wink
