Aside from that, it will be turbocharged along with the new introduction of inline 4 turbocharged motors on boxster and cayman.
Does this mean that our 997 will go up in value once the 991.2 is released?

Bahahaha nice post, you're asking if our 997's will go up with the turbo engines being offered? What about if they go down, oh no!!! Cars are a depreciating asset, if you want to make money buy a 1990 Accord and sink your cash into the stock market

I have a collector friend who had a 964rs and made a 60% roi in 8 months. Obviously our car isnt air cooled, but there is always a potential of it gaining value.
At least the gain in this is way more fun than the stocks in nasdaq or mutual funds. I know my collector friend is.

Yes I own a GT3... I'm aware of the values. You only get ROI if you sell it, if not its estimated market value. As the 991's drop in value, the dime a dozen 997's should follow suit and keep dropping

The focus on the value of the cars on this site lately is so pathetic.

Just hold your 997 in a storage facility, keep <20k miles on it, maintain it, and in 30 years your pristine, original paint, one owner 997 will be worth it's msrp, maybe a little more. In terms of investments, the roi would be atrocious.
I do think something that helped me justify my 997 purchase was reasonable depreciation. I got mine for 50% of sticker 6 years old, and am enjoying the heck out of it. I imagine if I were to sell it after driving it for 30k miles over 2 years I'd lose around 20% of what I paid for it. That was a cost I was willing to bare to enjoy this car.

There was a post on Six-speed and maybe here too on how rich you have to be to afford a Porsche. While how anyone spends their money is none of my business, I wonder if there is some correlation between those who think that their 997 may appreciate and the degree to which they stretched to buy it. Maybe, maybe not, it is just a thought. Still, if anyone gets more satisfaction from garaging their 997 in the hopes that it will appreciate, than driving it, well, okay.

I think people have seen older 911s, 993s and now even 964s appreciate significantly in the last decade. As a result, they are looking for the next Porsche that can be viewed as an investment as technology changes. Personally, I think that the number of 997s produced will prevent it from appreciation for a long, long time. The exception will be unique or special cars like the GT2 RS, the GT3 RS 4.0, etc.
