I'd think that good examples of all 996's will go up. They'll just increase in different increments. About 8 years ago we had a lovely, low mileage 996 GT2 at my dads place that we were selling for a longstanding customer.. After sitting at 40k in the showroom for 4-5 months, the owner decided to take it back and chop it in for something else. Looking at Pistonheads now, the cheapest (by a long shot) GT2 is now 86k with all the others priced at 120k +...

good examples
The all important phrase.
One of the falicies of investing in things like cars, watches, etc. is the notion that you can use them. In reality using them massively increases the risk of damage and huge loss (as well as depreciating them). A colleague has one of the few (8 apparently) UK RHD manual V12 Vantages sitting SORN in his garage because it keeps going up in value and right now he can't afford to risk the loss driving it could cause.
In fairness to the 996 GT2/3's have always been a bit more special and were sold in lower numbers. My gut says 2010 would have been the wrong point to sell that sort of car being both so close to the crash and making it a bit too old, but not yet old enough.

The 996 is the red-headed step-child of the 911 family, so right now it's the cheapest.
It's uncertain whether they'll continue to bump around at that level or go up - the 964 was £15k for ages, now they're £50-70+, but the 996 was built in far greater numbers.
