here is my rant: That 997.2 is the closet thing to the 997 gt3 rs 4.0. plus low production numbers & that mezger howl make them desirable. if I recall correctly only about 700 997.2s were made. 991.1 are plagued with “bad engines”. That is why pricing is typically the lowest on them. They are not shit. Just higher risk. Covid was the time to sell them haha. Some are on original engines. Some have had more than one motor replaced. Porsche “fixed” that issue with their 991.2 motor.

So OP the reason why they’re calling for the constant premium is because of the supply and demand. Really it’s just demand mostly because they have always held their (GT cars) value. Some of them are actually investments. Imho unless we have another global pandemic these cars will not really drop below msrp. All engine (na) sports cars have hit their glass ceiling. While they still will be produced only the wealthy will be able to obtain them with what appears to be a permanent ADM on the hot cars and lower production numbers each year. 997 RS/GT2/959/certain spyder/ 356’s & the 964s are also fine Porsches that actually appreciate. Used to be only Rolls Royce’s that appreciate lol.
