Doubt it. Albeit nice cars, the targa was always a curio and sold as such. Roof mechanisms can prove troublesome. The cars that are appreciating are the drivers cars which in 996 land seems to mean GT3 and C4 S
1970 911 2.2 S
2004 996 GT3 mk II
Renault 5 GT Turbo
BMW i3 REX
Jaguar F-Pace S 3.0 supercharged.
McLaren 12C spider
