Nice options.

A couple of points:

Heavily optioned cars usually encounter a large depreciation if you ever decide to sell the car down the road.

If you end up deciding to change wheels later to aftermarket wheels the 19 inch option + having the wheels in black might be overkill. (Good set of forged wheels in Cayman specific sizes are about 4-5K, some places also take the OEM wheel/tires as trade-in)

If you decide in the future to lower your car the suspension options with PASM are kind of limited if you want to keep the versatility of the PASM system, either you will have to go with the Bilstein Damptronics aftermarket suspension or Techart (yet anotherr Biltstein variant with custom springs and valving) or go with aftermarket springs that work in tandem with the PASM suspension bits (downside is the possible early deterioration of the OEM PASM shocks/struts)

Love the PASM suspension, it is a pretty well sorted suspension, downside is that they don't offer Sports PASM on the Cayman that would be 20mm lower than the non-PASM car bummer

I didn't see a LSD option, if you enjoy corner carving, driving the twisties, tracking or autoX the LSD is in the must have list.

Other than that enjoy your dream car

MSRP is listed at $74,435.00 it is a 6 speed manual with the following options:

XCZ - Sport Shifter
639 - Sport Chrono Pkg W/Out PCM
475 - PASM
419 - 19" Carrera S II wheel
220 - Limited Slip Rear Differential
XSX - Seat Belts - Guards Red
XDA - Wheels Painted Black
P77 - Leather Sport Seats
CMX - Side Strips with Model Designa
573 - Automatic Climate Control
810 - Floor Mats in Interior Color
870 - Universal Audio Interface
619 - Bluetooth Interface for Mobile
P75 - BiXenon Headlights w/Dyn Cornr

BTW: went back through your prior listing and the other car that was listed for $94,100 did have LSD as well.

$94,100 vs $74,435

It probably comes down to the following:

PDK vs 6speed?

full leather interior vs standard interior?

navigation or no navigation (PCM in Porsche terms)

bucket seats vs full leather seats (bucket seats would make sense if you are likely to track your Cayman, using the stock seats with a helmet is a real pain, otherwise the stock seats are pretty good for street driving)

Porsche Sports Exhaust vs stock or possibly an aftermarket exhaust

Other personalization bits, that IMHO are way too expensive and unecessary.

As someone else posted once you get to the 80K and 90K range, that is really pushing it for a Cayman S you are getting to 997.2 pricing territory.

Hope that this helps, there is another forum that is full of Cayman owners so you might want to ask there as well.

I can play this game. I'm rarely the frugal one, but mine looks to be almost $20k less. I'll save even more by switching to Geico.
