I know I am asking cayman owners but I hope you guys can help me decide I finally saved up enough money to buy myself a nice car and so far this are my choices, keep in mind the car will be my daily commuter (5 miles each way) lol but still i want something reliable. Please give me your opinions. BTW the prices are pretty mcuh the same at around 38K and both have about 23k miles

 

We don't take prisoners. Buy the Porsche !

 

yeah get the cayman.

 

yeah I think I am going with the cayman S do you guys think this is a decent price? I can negotiate the price but what do you guys think?

WOW,

these are 2 TOTALLY different automobiles...

I say Cayman S, for obvious reasons

 

There's always room to negotiate, especially in this economy. I imagine that the dealer acquired this vehicle via a trade. In which case, they gave the customer the wholesale price of the vehicle toward a trade. Or they picked it up at auction. In either case, a few grand has probably been tacked onto this vehicle. So put your "war face" on and head into battle ! Start low, you can always come up. The worst they can say is no.

 

yes I am going to check it out this week, I am also going to check out a 2005 911 coupe (997) with 38k miles around the same price.. what do you guys think?

 

Congrats on saving your money for something you want. Right now is a buyer's market, few people have money to buy nice cars so they are tanking in value. Be sure you get exactly what you want (options and color) or you will have severe buyer's remorse and it will cost dearly to change your mind. Wanting is much more powerful than having.

IMO that Cayman is fairly low optioned for the miles / money. It does not have PASM / Sport Chrono / auto air / 19s / Bose / PSE (these are options I would look for, YVVM). The miles on the 911 are higher so it probably has more wear. Depending on the options of the 911, I might go for it over that Cayman. They are different handling / feeling cars, drive multiple samples of everything you can before you decide.

 

thank you so much, that is the kind of advice I need. I am scared of the 911 because of the mileage, i know maintenance is expensive but I dont want to pay out my *** to fix something unexpected and the car having more miles has a higher rate of things going wrong.

in regard to the cayman thank you for the info I definetely have no experience nor a lot of knowledge of them so i will start looking for something with more options

 

there are a few more around my area, i love the color on this one:

and then this one too

The first one looks real clean / has low miles but also has few options.

The second one looks to have Sport Chrono / PASM / 19 Turbo style wheels but I hate beige interior.

I wouldn't buy a Porsche without PASM / Sport Chrono ... but that is just me. They change your car's attitude through different suspension / throttle response ... they make a Porsche even more fun!

 

how can i find out if it does have those packages? i know the chrono comes with the little gauge in the middle but what about the PASM ? sorry for the ignorance but I spent the whole day reading around lol trying to inform myself about these cars..

oh and i dont mind the beige interior, I actualy find it kind of elegant

 

C***ster!

 

Moving out of the A4 and into a Cayman?? Sounds like i plan to me! I love my A4....but I enjoy the Cayman alot more.

 

yeah man, I actually fell in love with the cayman bacause of yours lol just like with the A4 I finally saved up enough money for it and my condo is half way paid so its time to give myself something nice
