Someone's traded in their Cayman S...

[fastpat]

Already, and it's being sold on the 'Bay
Guards Red Cayman S.

I thought you were going to tell us what Lew Rockwell thought about it.

[scottmandue]

It is being sold by a stealership... perhaps it's the old...
"someone bought a shiny new Porsche and found out they couldn't make the payments."

or

"someone bought a shiny new Porsche, soiled their shorts and brought it back."

Or:

"Somebody bought an overweight, overpowered, overpriced behemoth when all they needed was a minivan."

Cayman S, Bob, not a Cayenne.

[Moneyguy1]

Doesn't matter. All adjectives apply!!

Since no one is going to give me an island, how about someone just get me a Cayman S?

That's a sweet car.

Quiet, comfortable, fast, and did I say quiet? I went to Porsche's web site and "built my own" Cayman. I stopped when it topped $80K MSRP.


I want one painted like this one, with the same interior color.

That's zinc silver and lipstick red. That combo makes people jump back when they first see it.

When I tire of folding myself in to and out of the Elise, that car will be on my short list.

Just wish it was 400 lbs lighter ...

[speeder]

At least it's one owner. If two different people had *****-canned it in the first 400 miles I'd be worried.

All kidding aside, the one thing I learned working in high-end dealerships is that a car being traded in after 2 days of ownership means absolutely nothing about the car itself, more likely it was a gift for a wife or GF who turned out not to drive a manual shift or any of a thousand other reasons having zilch to do w/ the car. Just rich people being flaky. Because they can.

You have good taste in colors

Dang, that's close. I first saw the combo on a mid-80's 911, which unfortunately had been in a rear end bashing accident. I offered the dealer a very low-ball amount while I pointed out to him where it had been repaired and how I could tell.

He became furious and ordered me off his lot.

Still, loved the color combo even if it was on a turkey.
