If it puts a smile on your face, then drive the hell out of it! That's what they are meant for imo.

Enjoy your car. I log almost 1,000 miles each month. no regrets.
It's not a showpiece Ferrari - most of those guys say "I love my car, it's perfect and only has 4,000 miles on it". I think Jay Leno has a couple interviews where he talks about this.

A 911 GTS isn't that special.
A low mileage 2018 911 GTS is not going to be anymore appreciably more special than a similarly spec'd low milage 2018 911 GTS.
Go drive it.
Don't use your cars to make money, or preserve wealth.
There are better and more profitable ways to do that.

don't even give it a second thought my friend. what ever the depreciation amounts to in the end, it's peanuts compared to the fun you seem to be having. i purchased my 2013 S about 2 years ago as a DD and have put 25k miles on it so far. i'd be bummed if i wasn't driving as much as i do. that is what i bought it for. keep enjoying your awesome GTS and wear the miles as badges of honor! (i do). and don't worry....Porsche will build more so you can get another one after you drive this one into the ground. =)

2018 GTS bought as a DD in Oct of 2021 with 14k miles. Just blew past 28k last week. I have loved every single 14k miles that I have put on the car but damn the miles are piling up. I have the Rennsport event in a few weeks and that will add an another 2k in less than a week..
Should I just suck it up and keep driving?? At what point does the mileage really start affecting the value of the car?
I am not looking to sell it anytime soon so that may be my answer! But thought I would ask the RL.

Heck with reading these post my car should be in the scrap yard already.
Still scaring me at times with 133K on the clock.
Life is too short to drive boring cars.

Really, you own a Porsche, it's made to be driven. I've got 19k in 3 years and plan to keep driving.
You only have a finite time to enjoy life don't waste it worrying.
