996 Turbo may have the best chance at appreciating, since they're pretty damn far down the depreciation curve.

except for the fried egg head lights, I had a 996 about 10 years ago, I could never get over the look of the headlights, and the dash pod always seemed a bit off to me. The reason I bought the 996 was I couldn't afford a 993 at the time. I now have one and I paid about twice as much as I would have if I had bought it instead of the 996. And FTR, I agree cars aren't an investment although I have done ok in that I have usually about broken even on the buy sell end of things. Insurance and maintenance not factored in. My 993 has gone up in value from what I can tell since I bought it.
The other car you might want to consider is a Z4MC, the limited production numbers and the timeless good looks I'd say a safe bet that they'll go up in value, I'd say the same for a 2001 or 2002 Z3MC.
