Porsche Cayman Depreciation & Resale Value

Porsche Cayman keeps an estimated 56% of its recent market value after 5 years — #278 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Porsche Cayman retains an estimated 56% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #278 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Sports in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Porsche Cayman sheds about 15% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $43,800 it falls to around $24,528 by year five — a five-year loss near $19,272, about $10.56 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Porsche Cayman bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
