I've been following the 930 market closely since 2013 and the supply has been growing over that time, not shrinking. As for the GT3/996. Here is what I will say: remember when the 930 was all over the cover of the European magazines in 2012/2013? Well, the uber rare 996s (GT3, TT-S, GT2) have been all over the same covers for the last 6-9 months. Sure, the lights will never look amazing, and the interior has it's limitations, but they brought 600 TT-S coupes to the US, with number of them in Tip. If you tell me one of - what - 300 to 400 Turbos w/ a 6 of an \"S\" variant isn't going to be worth 2X what it is now (and it is already almost 2X what it was 2 years ago), you're nuts. A 964 Turbo S is $225K and a 993 Turbos S is $400K. As for the GT3, amazing car and we got 1,900 of them. Cut to the number not track modded. 996 GT2 is already a $160K car, and that feels like there is upside. Also, you know the \"generation\" game, 2003's 18 year old is 35 in three years and will be buying their \"poster\" car. I bought a 930 as it was my \"poster\" car. Remember, the G cars were seriously looked down on vs. the long nose cars not that long ago. What we know: 930s are iconic. For sure. They tripled and now have settled back to earth. Have they bottomed? We will see. The market's taste is moving. To 964s (thanks Singer!), to 996s (European press and recent price INCREASES while G cars and long-nose prices FELL are undeniable).

They use them because they are well, more advanced. But what about the other myriad builders who refuse to use a 964? There are reasons.
