It was Air Cooled, but I don't know if the 996 will ever go up in value like the air cooled cars. Look at the 928 values. They've been flat for 20 years.
I would say the later versions of the 928 (S4, GT, GTS) have increased a bit in value as well.

I just did the IMS, waterpump and coolant tank this weekend on my uncles car. It was a little difficult because of how everything is crammed together. However, it is a great car to drive. The 996s have bottomed in value, The M2 has not. I'd drive both and make your decisions. Also, be aware that people on these forums are going to be slightly biased and a huge portion of them have not worked on their own cars.
