Which would you take? (Cayman S)

[atr911]

I've got two cars i'm looking at. Which would you take? Option one: 06 Cayman S Black/Black 35K mi. No major options Imported to Canada @ 3K miles 3 years ago Bought from Porsche dealer before import Option two: 06 Cayman S Silver/Black 37K mi. All major options including Nav/PCM Imported to Canada @ 30K miles 5 months ago Bought @ auction I realize that this may look like a no-brainer decision but I'm a little leery of a car purchased at auction and imported less than a year ago. Am I being silly worrying about the recent import and auction purchase? Both vehicles are priced similarly @ $41K CAD (equivalent to $33K USD including import and duty costs) and both have factory warranty until early 2010. I just don't want to make a decision that I'll regret because costs can easily add up. Maybe i'm just being too cautious...

If the #2 option is 6MT and has SC and PASM i would go for that. I have both on my CS and would recommend them.

The second one does have all those options. I just worry it's been abused. Other than bad downshifts and ignoring maintenance, is it possible to have a beat up Porsche?

Cosmetically they both look phenomenal.

Just get a PPI done, I think it's a small price to pay to know what you are getting into.

Very important,..In the PPI, do a check for hi rev incidents.

I've got my own durametric kit so I'll test anything I look at. I suppose this is the best insurance I can do. I run a garage so I have a reasonable idea of what to look for, I'd just hate to miss something major.

As for where I'm finding them, I'll let you know after I buy one. Really though, I'm just looking all over the place, PCA websites (Toronto and Ottawa regions) and trader.ca. Just have to look regularly and sort through all the fodder.

The second one is the one I would go for, more toys the merrier.
