A dealer/neighbor who deals mainly in Porsches and sometimes BMW's said he just bought a 4,000 mile, one owner clean Carfax, all records included, gorgeous silver car (haven't even seen a picture yet) much less the car. It's in transport. These cars have litterally spiked in value over the last couple years. Is this a bubble too or are they worth buying as an investment? He suggested not driving it and putting it up on a lift. Hate that thought but I like to make a buck too. Anyone out there with some Porsche advice?

Those are very nice cars, but at the price he will likely want for it, you'd be taking a big risk in my opinion.

I am a big porsche watcher. They have skyrocketed in value. No one can predict where they are going but I am a seller at these levels not a buyer.

I had an opportunity in late '13 to get a 97 993TT at 85k. Cars are now around or above $200k ask. Instead I got a NA 997 GT3 RS, probably the last of the stick 911 variants.

The run up in price for both the 993 and 964 is amazing. Great cars with the 993 handling a little better than the 964. As mentioned above, air cooled and no nannies are very attractive especially for the 3 pedal as well as the "tiptronic" variant.
Was recently offered surprising money for my '92 C-2 Cab, GPW/Navy. A car we bought new in '92 and has been well cared for all these years. A recent first place winner at last years Porsche Parade in the "Preservation Class" for '89-'98 model years.

I recently sold my '94 Turbo due to the prices going nutty. Who knows?! Maybe they will continue, but I'm a seller here.

I love the 993TT. I wish I had bought one when I was serious about 5 years ago. Could have scooped up a perfect car for less than $100k.
