2012 porsche 911(991)!
You probably meant to say that your prefer body style is the 911(993), 911 (997) or the 911(998) because the 996 I insist is the less valued porsche in the market due to it uglyness. Just my .2c
Take a look at all the 911 line up the reply to me. I am formerly owner of a 911(964) Cariolet Carrera 4.

I'm not confused, the 996 (yes, the one with the headlights stretched over the hood) is my favorite, with the 993 as a close second. And if you go by what the market values cars at as your measure of a car's worth that's just sad and ends up being very wrong in the long run. Very recently the market didn't value Ferrari 250, early Mustangs or muscle cars. A few companies like Barrett Jackson (established in 1971) have the potential to completely change a car's value very quickly.
Think for yourself.

I'm a big fan of the 996 even though it strayed away from the traditional round headlight design of previous & later body styles. I kinda like the look of the non-round squashed Beetle look. Yes, they are worth less than 993's, 997's, but I think that can be attributed mostly to the HUGE numbers sold of that model year. The market is simply over flooded with them. Too much supply & less demand will always drive down prices. Ugly or not, Porsche sold the **** out of that body style! The 997 I like better for the technology the 996 doesn't have, but you gotta admit the 996 is every bit as worthy to be respected from a performance aspect as any other generation of the 911's..
I'm not too hot about this latest restyle.. I'll wait till I read in-depth reviews for a final ruling, but on the surface, my first impression is that Porsche is starting to tinker.

I personally test drove the 2002 model which was a higher better than the 99-2001 and I was surprised with the good performance but I am only speaking for the looks. The 996 is still less favorable than a 993 with the exception of a 993 TT or maybe a C4S.
Like I told you, I wasn't going to penalized you for expressing your personal opinions. The stats are on my favor, a 996 loses a lot of votes mainly because of the appeal and for diviating from a true round light but don't worry, the first Boxters are the same way.
Between me and you, I still think that a 996 does loops around a older 911,964 or 993 as far is pure performance. You can get a 996 for around $20000 flat to low 20s(smoking deal).
