The ONLY two reasons it retains value better is:
1. Sheer production numbers - 1300 vs 8000 996TTs (compare against the 400 or so 964 3.6Ts for real rarity)
2. There's the legion of inefficient-cooling worshippers who insist Porsche sold their soul in 1999 and won't have anything newer
Wow. That's a lot of sales for 996TTs. I know there are more 996 turbos but didn't know it's that much. Was thinking around 4000. I really wanted a 993TT and couldn't decide over 996TT. Then, ended up with 6GT3. Don't ask me how that happened because I still don't know. LoL And, still dream of 993TT every time I see every single 993s on the road.

Here's one article I found worth reading when I was comparing both. Also, don't forget 993TT is the last Porsche turbo to be hand assembled, just like current GT line.
