Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?

The thesis

The 987.2 Cayman S (3.4L, 320hp, 6-speed manual) represents the refined, IMS-bearing-free iteration of the first-gen Cayman with direct injection and PDK option. Less rare than the R but offering 95% of the driving experience at lower cost. Hagerty condition #2 values at £48.8k; realistic UK market shows £40k–£50k for top examples, £30k–£40k for solid drivers. Strong Porsche badge equity and proven reliability make it a safe, usable choice.
