Is the Porsche 911 a good investment?
997.2 Carrera GTS Manual (2011–2012)
The thesis
The 997.2 Carrera GTS (407 hp, 3.8L DFI flat-six, widebody) is the last naturally aspirated Carrera GTS and the ultimate non-GT 997. Average sale price is ~£68k ($84k), with manuals commanding premiums. It offers 911 versatility, strong performance, and daily usability without GT-car maintenance costs. Values are rising as the last NA GTS before turbo 991; still early in its appreciation curve compared to GT3 models.
