Good afternoon fellow PARF err PPOT crowd. Just thought I'd share that I am once again a Porsche owner. You may remember this previous thread: Why shouldnt I sell my 87 Carrera to buy a Boxster? which got a lot of blow-back as the newer cars aren't really Porsches and a lot of support to do it. Well it is official. I am now a 2006 Cayman S owner. Good buddy Joe Bob rode with me out to Hermosa to check it out. I got the car for about $700 under their "internet" price, about $4700 under their advertised "sticker" price.

102k miles, dealer serviced (Newport Beach) and only two points of interest: The left-rear wheel well has a couple chips on the bumper portion and the right-rear fender has a very very minor crease on the wheel-arch. Almost un-noticeable except in the right light. Mechanically 9/10, LOTS of power and the only thing needing to be fixed was the driver's side inside door-handle. VERY clean inside and out. I'm taking it to Factory Werks in Westminster this week and if Gary gives it the thumbs-up my bank will honor the deal and cut a check. Hurray! Now on to pics...
