Good list.

996 much easier to live with as a daily ride.
993/964 appreciating in value
Classic, bit of a problem child if you get unlucky
CSL will remain pretty static if you get the right one

A mate's 964.



Sideways yo!

What makes you say the Cayman is dropping big money? The Gen2 being more available?

I see they're pretty up the wall, what's target pricing for say an 07?
Sideways yo!

I haven't driven his, but they're very nice - so long as you can get over the pedals being way over to the left because of the fuel tank on a RHD and them feeling a bit small inside, almost Beetle like.

Obviously 996 onwards this was resolved and they feel a bit more spacious, that's why I said they're easier to live with.

The only thing that puts me off about a CSL, and it shouldn't really, is the spazbox. DSG it ain't. Something that capable demands old skool driving style with H&T etc. A manual run-out model CS would be on my list and brakes/suspension/CSL esque interior.

the guy that bought my rims last night was standing on my drive asking what i wanted for the .:R32

selling mine wont be a struggle at all  :innocent: but i'm definitely keeping it for the summer and then either keeping it and adding a car or selling it and replacing it

coin will be flipped when the time comes, until then i'll just have to telerate your pressure on the pings  :grin:
