Perhaps similar to the current thread about the general market but specifically how low do people think the 996T will go?
I am torn between a 996T and a 993 n/a and if truth be told probably want to end up having owned both at some point.
This being the case is now the time to grab a 996T bargain or do I go with the 993 now (which seem to lose little value although I do wonder if this is a bubble waiting to burst) and move to the 996T further down the line when they've dropped even further?

Prices of the 996t may go a bit lower, but not much. (I'm talking decent, well cared for examples here - not the bargain basement ones with crap specs and no options)
My reasoning:
- The prior 911 turbo has already started to climb in value, the next gen is still more than double the price, so if you want the poster car of a 911 turbo, there is not cheaper way into one.
- As the prices have dropped, so too has the difference between the N/A and turbo versions, and it has just about become worth the extra outlay purely to avoid potential engine problems. (There isn't a significant difference in running costs between the two, certainly not enough to be a deciding factor). Then there's the extra performance/looks of the turbo and it's no contest.
- It is currently a crazy amount of car for the money!
