Porsche GT car sales are also way up over previous generations. It remains to be seen where demand goes in the short and long term. But, I certainly wouldn’t buy a regular 911, Cayman, Boxster expecting no or minimal depreciation. It wasn’t that long ago that a friend of mine bought a new, $150k Turbo then traded it back in within two years for about $100k…

Actually Porsche sales are down ~25% in both the US and China (two biggest markets) and 4% globally.
I have owned a lot of Porsches along with my wife (and still own a paint to sample 991.1S that I'll never sell) - many 911s, many Caymans, several Macans and a Cayenne. I think they make some great cars but you can see the quality has def gone down and the prices are way up. I personally want something more special for the 200K mark than a Carrera S/4S/GTS - sorry but the S58 in the G8x is a much better engine than the 3.0 F6. I know several friends who also just wont buy a Porsche product anymore due to the games Porsche and more so the dealers are/were playing.
