Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?
987.2 (Gen 2) 2.9 manual (2009–2012)
The thesis
The 987.2 eliminated the IMS bearing flaw and introduced the superior DFI 2.9 flat-six. Market data shows the 2.9 manual has appreciated 10–15% in three years while remaining constrained by the 3.4S price ceiling above it. With Porsche's unmatched global liquidity and the 987 sitting in the sweet spot between 'modern classic' recognition and affordability, the 2.9 manual is undervalued relative to its driving purity and Porsche badge equity.
