Is the Porsche Cayman a good investment?

The thesis

The 987.2 Cayman S with the 3.4L DFI flat-six and no IMS bearing issue represents a sweet spot of Porsche engineering – mid-engined, 320hp, and fully depreciated. Hagerty values excellent 987.2 S models at £48,800, with manual examples commanding a three-pedal tax. This is a reliable, usable driver that has held steady pricing for years and is poised to appreciate as enthusiasts rediscover the purity of the last naturally aspirated, manual mid-engine Porsche under £50k.
