It's hard to predict I think, if you look at (say) the MK1 Escort they made a few of those, but try finding a decent one now - sometimes large numbers of a car mean they get crushed at a fair rate until the ones which remain go up. Or the 996 could remain forever unloved, of course.
When I was looking the 997's in my price range had all the faults of the 996 (IMS, bore score etc), along with an interior that looked more dated than that of the older car. It's also significantly heavier than the first gen 996, albeit it is a more powerful car.
All that said if you don't like the front end of the 996 you're never going to buy one!
