I also don't think it will hold it's value. It will not depreciate as fast, but there are far and few cars these days no matter how little they make that appreciate.
If you're buying the car to try make or retain money, you're doing it for the wrong reason.

I think the RS 4.0 will be the most collectible 997. It is very limited in production, right at the end. As mentioned, it's the last of the Mezgers, and it was a Porsche Motorsport car, which is a big seal of approval. Personally, it's #1 on my list (with the GT2 RS) for my "dream" 997.
$40K over might not be recouped anytime soon, but I'd say it's a sure thing in the long run (20 yrs or so).

$40K over? Stupid. Just wait a little bit. But holding it's value- and paying OVER sticker are two, completely separate topics- and neither are relevant to each other.
Will the 4.0 hold its value? You bet your ass it will. I'm not going to justify the comment; but those who KNOW this car, I mean, really know it- it for sure will hold it's value. The CGT dropped in values and then came back up. This car might do something similar but in the long run it's a real collection piece for sure.
But paying over, and expecting to recoup that would be misaligned at best.
Wait a little bit, nab one close to sticker- call it a day.

^^ I think a lot of that had to do with the 4.0 be released. A handful of people alone on this site traded their 2 rs for the 4.0. Which don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, maybe if they depreciate more I can afford one.

these cars just came out.. isnt it early to just say yeah they will hold their value or no they wont? you cant tell until the demand comes back in a couple (or several years) but yeah totally agree that you should buy to enjoy.
