i'm a big fan of the 996 turbo's. like you said, compared to the 993 you get a lot more bang for the buck. i'm not sure why the 993 has held it's value the way it did. perhaps there were less turbo models sold in those years? 964 turbo's (especially the 3.6L's) are a great car too but they don't have the AWD. either way, good luck with it! 911's are pretty awesome cars, no matter what generation you get
