this is accurate imo, esp. with 991 series

 

Unless they can keep the Cayman from dropping in value as bad as they normally do, then I doubt the 911 will be in any trouble.

One of the reasons we went from Boxster to 911 was the boxster was worth less than a Civic after the same amount of time a 911.

Its not that the 911 is an investment, but at least the depreciation is not a cliff, more like a steep hill.

 

Well, a lot of it is that Porsche went from being a small and independent boutique car maker making 14,000 cars worldwide in 1993, to over 200,000 cars a year now, as it is just another arm of VW's ownership these days.

That amount of mass production is going to mean massive depreciation for any run-of-the-mill Porsche, including the 911 variants that fall in that category.

 

Spot on.

 

Not just for kids, but also for friends who want to go out to eat but don't want to drive Luckily for them, they have tons of legroom sitting behind me.

 

The video creator in me is screaming for Porsche to bring the boy and salesperson back to complete the story where 15 years later he hands over the keys to a new 992.

 

Sorry but nothing is going to take the top spot of the 911. It is what the brand is known for. Plus I am still yet to hear of someone say they wish they had a Cayman when a 911 is in their garage. If they really wanted it to be their top car then all the would need to do is drop a bigger engine in it than a 911. That will never happen.

 

The 911 is their "cash cow". There must be at least 10 different 911 models.

 

And over a million served. Not McDonald's, but eventually they will surpass the Corvette (or maybe they won't).
