How does that "appreciation" compare to the original purchase price (after taking indexation into account) though?

For the 993 GT2, 993 RS and Turbo S indexation over the period is around 29-32% inflation.

The appreciation is between 50 and 150% so they are easily beating inflation.

Of course these are the exceptions rather than the rule, only three models of the 993 range
