But 50% is the drop is over 13 years. 98k in 1996 minus 45k today.

A car that sold for 99k in 2006 is the same as 106k in 2009 dollars. If I can pick up a used 2006 for 50-60k, the value has dropped almost 50% over just 3 years.

I guess the real question is what will a 996/997 be worth (in respect to its original MSRP) in 13 years?
I think the the 997 gt3/rs or some special model liek the boxter rs will hold it value well. the rest of the current porsche line, not so much.
