What happens to the already crazy Porsche market now?

Just read this and I'm thinking we could see another move higher in values if it's true...might be wrong.....what do you think?

If no one wants older cars, why have values of 997s been holding firm? Don't think the 991 has been a huge success either.

Nice...I think you can split this question into air-cooled and water-cooled, with the caveat that GT3s will probably follow/lead the air cooled stuff.

The biggest issue, with regard to Ferrari are the sky high ownership costs. Porsches were better built and in much greater numbers. Not only that, they are far cheaper to maintain. When your cash is sitting in an account earning you a taxed 0.5%, wouldn't you rather have something special sitting in the garage? That's how I've sold it to the mrs anyway!! Old Porsches were too cheap and I dare say some Beemers are too...M3 CSL anyone. I think there's a large community who are sick of what's going on in the car industry right now. I know it's a necessary evil having to deal with ever increasing regulation with regard to safety and economy but some of prefer cars with a bit more soul...I don't particularly care for 0-60s ....fun and character are what I value and old 911s have it in spades.
