I'm not surprised young guys aren't buying 356s at the current prices (assuming that is true), there's not a ton of young folks with $100K+ disposable income and if they do there are tasty options with mongo horsepower... Even if you can afford one, what do you *do* with a car that valuable, certainly not daily drive it and risk getting it totaled by a texting driver or an Uber self driving car ;-)

I owned 2, I'd really really like another for sentimental reason, but now than they are $80-120K cars, I cannot justify the expense... Nor does a $15-20K engine rebuild sound appetizing for a 75-95hp motor with metallurgy that is getting old and fragile - my 356 collector buddy blew 3 engines last year - one was racing but the other 2 are just "old"...

I know a lot of guys who have made the same calculations and buy a $30K Cayman instead... When nice 356s go back to 30-50K (will never happen) people like me will buy them all...

That 356 collector friend of mine keep talking of the great die-off of 356 owners, it's happening right now but seems the owners are smart and selling them for $$$ before passing away... Good for them.
