Cayman S prices... Problem?

I've been perusing some used Cayman S's in the auto trader and elsewhere that seem to have some suspect pricing. I found about 4 that have less than 20k miles and are offered at less than $20k. They all seem to be 2006 models. the majority of owners say never been wrecked and all seem to be in very good shape. Am I missing something? Was there a problem with 06 s models? Seems a little fishy to me, but maybe these guys want to get rid of them quick. Any and all help is appreciated.

Wow. I know they're depreciating, but I can't believe they're near $20k, much less under yet. I'd classify this in the TGTBT category.

Absolutely something wrong here with that pricing. Either that, or I'm renting a car hauler, driving to Phoenix and bringing as many back to Chicago as I can. I think I've found a new career here (real estate finance presently sucks).

In today's economy you'd be suprised what you can get. I suspect you can buy just about any luxury item for what the owner owes on a note just so they can get out from under. Just takes a little patience.
