My opinion, just mine, is that if you want to buy a car as an investment and actually see appreciation without waiting 30 years or more, you need to buy a good but under appreciated car at the bottom of its value that has really low miles and is in exceptional condition. In the Porsche world I think the only cars that might qualify under those criteria are the 996 GT2 and GT3. Probably just the GT2 really.

probably the GT4 will be in some demand for the foreseeable future.
