Cars in general, including Porsches, hit a depreciation drop in yr 4. Maybe because warranties are running out. The 09's will be hitting that drop this yr.

However, there was this little thing called a recession that hit in 08 and it drastically affected sales of the 09 Caymans. 08 Cayman sales were in the 20K units while 09 Cayman sales were less than 2K. With a more desirable motor and substantially fewer 09s in circulation, the laws of supply and demand take over. Chances are the 09s will hold their value better than other yrs.

PerfectLap mentions the IMSB in an 06-08 Cayman will fail at some pt. He mentions it happening after 100K mi. If you make it to or past 100K mi, is it really a design flaw? My point is a 987.1 is a reliable car. There are plenty of 06s that are now getting into the 100K mi category. The 987s with the M97 engine were not included in the Porsche settlement because they don't break IMSs at a substantial rate. Don't discount buying a 987.1 because of IMS.
