Love those Porsche 911 Turbos and air-cooled 993s that crowd Instagram—and Mulholland Drive—like sea gulls around a french fry?

You’ve probably missed your chance to own one at a good price. And with RM Sotheby’s sales topping $300,000, and boutique shops such as Manhattan Motorcars asking at least $150,000 on the low end, even if you can afford one, it’s a few years too late to expect a big return on your investment.
