I am beginning to research 993 and later cars, having owned earlier 911 models in the 70s/80s. Any thoughts on “collector” status of 993, 996 etc? Thankyou

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Collector status often depends on the history of the individual car. Rarity enhances collectability.IMHO 993 is more collectable, but so is a pristine MK1 996 GT3. I'd go for the limited edition cars or RS/GT models. If price is an indicator early 356s, 73 911RS and RSR, then 964RS and RSR stand out to me. And if you can get one a 959 or Carrera GT. Sure there will be more opinions. Cheers Paul M

Hi Stanley, I am a 996 owner but for collectability definately a 993. Far fewer made, last of the air cooled old world 911. If i were shopping based on collectability I would be looking for manual trans and if dollars permit 'S' or '4S' models the pick. Regards Andy S

Unless you are lazy like me and go for the Tiptronic! But I do agree with Andy. Cheers Chris

Hi Stanley, I think the market tells the story. The 993 cockpit will be very familiar to you. Time for you to reacquaint yourself, me thinks. Doug
