Appreciating Porsche - Page 2

The Metzger engine in the 996 and 997 turbo and I think in the gt3 in N/A forum was considered built proof and didn't suffer the same issues that the engines in the carreras are experiencing ie bore scoring and ims bearing problems. I'd say this is another reason why values are climbing for these models

Agreed

What is the engine in the new GT4?

Do we think that will be an appreciating model?

It seems with porsche any model with gt or rs in the name is a safe bet. I believe with the cayman gt4 it could be very difficult to get one . The last model Cayman r looks good value at the moment plenty of choice at the 40k mark and most seem to be in the dealer network so will be offered with 2 year warranty. these cars values are only gona go one way .

The GT4 sold out long ago. The GT4RS may still be available to order or the GT4.2
Its a basic careers engine. The Mezger was only available in 996/997 GT/Turbo models. And as mentioned manual gearboxes.

As mentioned the 6.2 TT X50 would be a good bet.

I would say 997 GT3 RS would be a great one.
Last Manual GT3.

GT4 is sold out?? I thought you can just order and wait?

Same. Asked in Frankfurt this weekend. Would has asked Porsche for a slot if I was a Frankfurter but as a non local he chuckled and said no chance.
