I constantly see people saying a car is a depreciating investment (which I know is generally true) but there are 911s made in the pre 2000s still work about their same value with a rare few being worth more when you calculate for inflation. Given that by 2050 most cars on the road will be electric, I theorize the novelty of having a well kept gas powered Porsche from the early 2000s will hold its value with inflation, if not be worth even more by 2050 even when taking into account maintenance, insurance. Having the privilege of owning and driving a luxury vehicle, if well maintained for that long is priceless in and of itself. Any thoughts on my theory?

    You’ve missed the bell curve so to speak.

    If you happen to have disposable income. Then yes, get a GT4RS or even a GT4 since they will be the last of the gas powered version. And sit on it for 3 to 5 years, then maybe you can make some money off of them.

    They won’t depreciate very much (unless the dealer mark up is screwing you on that end). And the well maintenance means ensuring you are following factory services (all based on Years or mileage, not just mileage) by the dealer. Keep all records. So added cost, including insurances.

    But there is no guarantee they will appreciate in value.

    Buy bonds instead.
