EGTE said:Please don't; everyone who buys a car purely as an investment makes it harder for genuine enthusiasts to buy and enjoy that car. Look at the complete madness that is the 996 GT3 (esp. RS) and most air-cooled stuff (much of which is frankly old crap).
Or, please do and you'll get burned when the correction comes, rightly so.

I agree with you that, at £35k, a good 996T is about right but if it helps in your justification process I don't think you'll find that a car you'd pay £35k for now was ever available for less than £20k.
The only 996Ts that ever dropped below £20k were 'Cat' cars, cars with 100k+ miles or those with very patchy service history.

Yep - problem is that now the £35k turbos are generally ropey, good ones are more like £45k + !!
