From experience once the values of a manufacturers model go up, people start to look at what else the company makes as an alternative. 996's were on their arse until 964 & 993 prices started to rise. Once people couldn't afford the last of the air cooled cars, they started looking at the 996 as a usable and affordable alternative. Despite what they think about the looks and the 'fried egg' headlights it's still a 911.
