Good deal....you'll love it.

oh and i dont mind the beige interior, I actualy find it kind of elegant
PASM will have a button with a shock absorber icon on it under the radio next to the spoiler button. Sport Chrono will have a button on that same row that is labeled "Sport". There is also a button on the right that is labeled PSM, that stands for Porsche Stability Management and is a standard option on all newer Porsches.

Beige interior actually goes well with that blue ... my preference is stone grey or black interior.

To give you an idea of what the dealers give on trades I traded my 08 no options Cayman S with about 3000 miles to my 09 Cayman S and got $37k on the trade. With the tax advantage of a trade in OH it was about the same as my selling the car for $40k.

A CPO car with PASM and Sport Chrono would be nice. However, if a really nice one shows up in the color combo you want I wouldn't pass it up.

Enjoy the hunt and don't go back to the advertisements after you get one to second guess yourself.

Thank you guys, I am still in the hunt for a nice one, I found a black one with a "red" interior which I really liked and had all the packages so I am hoping to see it tomorrow.
I always buy on impulse so most of the time I end up kicking myself for it so this time I want to take it easy and look for something that I really like and I am definitely sticking with a Cayman s, worst comes to worst I will have more time to keep saving and buy a newer one. I am hoping the a4 sells this weekend and if that is the case I will be driving an old vw until I find the right car since my ex took my tiguan :\

Tightt I would love to check your car out, that way I have an idea what to look for where in Englewood are you? my mom lives there and I go to her house pretty much every day to eat lol

damn the cheapest 08 I found was close to 50k, I wonder if I could find a cheaper car at the auctions...

Congrats on the purchase, those Caymans are really nice. Shame on you for even comparing it to an SLK

^^ haha I had no idea they were so much fun, I did pick up my new to me cayman S from Peter (advantyper) who is a member here, he had a lot of stuff done to the car and it is in amazing shape.
I've only driven it one day so far for almost 200 miles from MD back to my place and it has been sitting in my garage I have to register it this week and then will be taking better pics, these are from the day I drove it back at a friend's place

I have to say it is nice to see a thread where the person actually listens and ends up buying the car that was recommended. All this in just 2 pages!

Congradulations Adresito360, car looks great!
