Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?
987.2 2.9 manual (2009–2012)
The thesis
The 987.2 Cayman 2.9 manual is the overlooked middle child—overshadowed by the 3.4S and R but offering 95% of the experience at significant discount. Prices bottomed 3–4 years ago and have been creeping up 10–15% since then; still undervalued versus the 997 and Boxster equivalents. Pure NA flat-six, hydraulic steering, analogue feel. Strong Porsche exit liquidity globally.
