Interesting article.
https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/bu...be-collectible/ Never thought I'd see a 914 worth more than a 911....but that day has come. Although initially I didn't buy my teener for appreciation value. |

I’ll go on record as one that likes the 996.2 cars...wish I could afford a GT3 and have been daydreaming of a 996.2 turbo as a family GT car (I just can’t justify spending money with other projects in the works)

I’ll go on record as one that likes the 996.2 cars...wish I could afford a GT3 and have been daydreaming of a 996.2 turbo as a family GT car (I just can’t justify spending money with other projects in the works) While the 996.2 C2 doesn't do much for me, the C4S and Turbo are wonderful cars, and need very little to be dialed in (center console delete via Carnewal.com, and maybe PSS9 or PSS10). Even the stock wheels are great. And then, of course, there's the 996.2 GT3, which I preferred in period to the 997 GT3s with the exception of the 4.0...high praise for a "mere" 996. What's wild is a nice 914-6 is now worth considerably more than a nice 996 GT3...and as much as I like 914s, this question would be a no-brainer for me. BUT, a 996 C4S for a third the money is awfully attractive. Yes, IMS/RMS/etc, but I took a chance on a 1999 986 2.5 at 60,000 miles, and my brother has that car today, now with 220,000 miles on the original engine and it pulls like a champ. The 996.2 C4S (and 996.1 C2 coupe) are so good I might take that bet again… |
