I reckon it probably will because these sort of limited run cars tend to go up in value.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've just been reading up on it and it sounds like an awesome piece of kit, but I wonder would it actually be a good investment? I reckon it probably will because these sort of limited run cars tend to go up in value. What does everyone else think? Edited by lambo_xx on Saturday 11th September 15:07

Edited by lambo_xx on Saturday 11th September 15:07 Does the Carrera GT sell for more now than it did new? There's your answer...

POST 3Original post

If you want an investment get a 996 GT3 or GT2.

Think you might still be a little squiffy. 718 spyder still roughly same as new, after 6 years. Can’t see that changing anytime soon.

Give me one with some miles on it in the launch colour instead (looks better too imo, orange not in my top-10 for this car), for 1.5m. Americans with too much money.

POST 12Original post

This car has a unique specification and, disregarding the colour, which is well suited to the US market, the price achieved illustrates just how these prize Porsche models start appreciating in value. This example has a very low milage and will be perceived as a good addition to someone’s car collection, as it is unlikely to be driven very often.

This one was 2x the normal stateside pricing, even with it's one of PTS it's an outlier. Not sure how it's well suited to the US market!

POST 14Original post

Seemed to be quite a few 'outliers' at Mecum, especially among the F-cars
