If you don't go with the Cayman, can you PM me the info? Colors/who's selling it/contact info? Thanks. My M3 is on it's way out I believe.

The Cayman will be more fun to drive and with a few small mods it will be as fast as the 9elebn.

Monetarily speaking, I think the 911 is a better deal-- that car will stay in the 50's for another 3 years I'd say. The Cayman, although VERY nicely optioned (but that doesn't add much in resale) has kind of "high" miles.

Don't get me wrong, they are both very good prices, but the Cayman will depreciate a bit more and at a quicker pace.

They both weight about the same and the Carrera has a bigger engine. I wouldn't buy neither. I'm cheap and would wait for both of those cars to really depreciate before picking them up wholesale.

Tough "d" , cant go wrong with either or. So I guess it also depends on how long you plan on keeping it? LT, I'd probably go for the Carrera.
