Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?
987.2 Gen2 2.9 manual (2009-2012)
The thesis
The 987.2 sits in a sweet spot: direct fuel injection reliability without the electronic steering of later cars, naturally aspirated flat-six, and hydraulic steering that will never return. Market has been stable for 3-5 years after modest rises, while 987.1 S models are now £20-25k and Cayman R commands £50k+. Gen2 2.9 offers 95% of the experience at a fraction of the cost before the market recognises the value gap. Porsche badge ensures global liquidity.
