Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Both of these look attractive but I am no Porsche expert.
I would be very grateful if either stands out as an exceptional deal. The "R" seems 10,000 quid less than the only example I can see on Autotrader in the UK for instance. Will be a weekend/track car.
Much appreciated in advance.

They both look very nice.
If you need any PPI done I would recommend jzm gulf.
I see on their website that they have just opened a branch
in Abu Dhabi.
I use them in uk and very happy with service.
Paul.
Do you mind if I ask why? From looking on uk/usa sites it does seem cheap whereas the S seems about right if you compare "world" market price.
I'm not asking what is the better/faster car. I know it's the R. Just what stands out a perhaps a more solid deal/investment.
the R
the gen 1 S is a parts bin car with a engine not known for lasting very well
the R is a gen 2 dfi car with LSD, bespoke sus and is one of todays true greats imo
how ever nice the gen 1 cars are, if you have gen 2 money you just buy a gen 2esp if its an R

There was 2 white cayman r's on dubizzle at the tail end of last year. Both pdk jobs with sports design steering wheel ie flappy paddle. They were on for 180k aed tho can't remember the milage but wasn't astromoical.
I noticed them as there was a couple of higher milage 997.2 for the same price.
I'd pay the extra price just to avoid the engine issues of the gen 1 engine.

Gen 2 engines like in the Cayman R have a much better reputation. If you opt for the Cayman S Sport be sure to get a warranty.

Ok thanks. I doubt they had a warranty, new tyres, new paintshield, Porchse cover, sport, sports plus, sports exhaust, navi, leather buckets, PCM though.
Spec looks very good for offered price.
Both were 2012 cars so we're still under original OPC warranty and service plan with PCM and A/C optioned back in. As for the tyres???
Not saying that one is not a bad deal but people on dubizzle inflate prices by 10-15% as the amount of "offers" they get.
All I'm saying is haggle. Just trying to save you a couple of fils.
Thanks.
Full spec from Porsche dealer from chassis number is:
PDK
19" turbo wheels
Park assist rear
Sport chrono pack plus
PCM 3 - telephone (GSM)
Integrated autochanger (DVD)
Floor mats
PCM with navi
Bi-xenon with dynamic cornering
Leather sports seats
Sports exhaust
Also warranty extended to July 2016 and FSH
Very happy to be honest and will post pics soon.
Thanks to anybody who made a contribution to thread
The R but not with those wheels need's Spyder ones IMO .Love the Viper Green one of my favourite colours .I think the R will be a better long term investment if this is a factor.

Think that one is Peridot Green not Viper Green. Mine is more of the Viper but some on here say it's (mine) just called Porsche Green now
