Looking for a Cayman

Hello. Thanks in advance. I currently have a 1986 911 turbo and am looking at the Cayman. If you had $35,000 to spend on a Cayman, what would you buy? Base vs S? What year? Mandatory options? Thanks.

Hi,

I went from a 79SC to a 06 Cayman S. I modded the SC as much as I could and wanted something new. I looked everywhere for a couple of years, it was a saga, won one on ebay, it was in an accident got out of it. I had two in Vegas that I liked but both owners changed their minds.

I finally got fed up and posted here of exactly what I wanted and sure enough someone came forward with the exact car and the deal was done

Take your time, chose the options you can't live without, year and mileage, colour - then start your hunt.... I picked an S over a base for bigger engine more HP AND better resale value in the future.

Good luck and don't settle after all you have the 930 to play with while you hunt


Bob

I went from a 85 911 to the 06 Cayman S. I'm very happy with the car - but if you don't want the 'IMS" cloud over your head, look for the 09 or newer.
