Cayman R - Only 80 Miles - £50k - Page 3 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

http://www2.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201... Not sure where it's been for the last couple of years??? Prices seem to be increasing for the summer too; http://www2.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201... http://www2.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201... http://www2.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

Comfort seats and PDK - not a future classic. Buckets and manual I could easily see 65-70 grand for that

£50k is a great price just a shame about the Spec ...... missing all the essentials unfortunately . Not sure where this puts mine price wise. 6200m and all the right bits ........

easy 60k car. The R with the correct bits is a better road car then a GT3 imo. easier to live with too.

Apologies for hijacking the thread but I may as well post the set ! It's been a good few years - wish I still had them all !

Lovely collection of pics. You'll have a GT4 one soon Edited by Scooty100 on Monday 4th May 21:15

Yeah looking forward to it. It'll be this time next year before it will get any proper use though . Went white again ! - with satin black wheels .

I don't get why you think these are 50k cars. A 10k premium over a regular S is a big ask for not a huge difference in spec or performance. Sounds more like existing owners trying to big up the price to sell their own on. Even those being offered at near 45k aren't perfect spec, just dealers cashing in. Im still on the look for the right car but if prices creep up will just target something else. Im after a red manual with buckets if anyone wants to sell

Buyers talk prices down.

All I can say is it's the best car I have owned and I have owned a lot. some times cars are so right and this is one of those times. If it were crap prices would drop. yes you can spec or mod a S to R spec for about £2k for the sus. but free buckets and Spyder wheels on the R plus the bit of weight out and the small bhp increase makes it a hoot to drive. I think £45k is a ok price as long as it has Buckets, Spyder wheels, in manual and PSE,SS, PCM etc. I don't see the point for that money if it has Buckets and Spyder wheels missing, just buy a £30k S and put the R shocks and ARB on it. spend £5k on a R and you have a very well sorted machine.

its 50 kiloes lighter, has a mechanical diff, carbon buckets, 10 bhp more, spyder wheels etc. all that stuff makes it a very special car. id pay 20 grand over a similar S for it, no sweat. looks way more aggressive too.

Dan911 said: Only Red.. I might know of a nice good spec white one coming up in a month or two? white is a possibility, as it looks good in that colour, though it really would look like a modern version of my current 911. (white with black P-graphics). Having owned a white 911 for 6 years and a black 964 before that, I fancy a red one. Orange would have been perfect! 50kilos is nice but bugger all really in a car weighing approx. 1400kg. I took 160kg out of the 911 and it flies along nicely.

I'd agree it's definitely worth a decent premium over an S, it's the perfect A and B road car. It also just looks right sat a bit lower and on the Spyder wheels. I would have paid more for mine when I bought it 8 weeks ago as it's better than anything else with the same price tag. I wanted one that looked a bit different, had loads of black/silver cars and I'm not a fan of white or peridot, wanted either red or aqua blue and this one came up for sale:

nice, want to sell it? ;-) Albeit another owner talking up the prices eheh.

MJ911 said: nice, want to sell it? ;-) Albeit another owner talking up the prices eheh. As basically said already , this car is more than the sum of its parts . For me great value . I've been in one then out for a 991 GT3 and then back again . That's how much I rate them .

996GT2 said: I would have paid more for mine when I bought it 8 weeks ago as it's better than anything else with the same price tag. ^ Agree ^ Looks stunning in red . Red , White and Viper / RS green IMO really suit this car . Although it isn't bad in any colour .

Looks good in all those colours, I must admit I like the peridot green as well. Mr Demons car looks the nuts.

PorscheGT4 said: ta :-) Oh Stop it, Looks great. As an aside with Cayman R prices going up they are now the same price as a Gen 2 Carera S, that's a tough call when i think about it.

I think when buying you have to look at resale, buy high sell the same :-) prices have been very stable for the last 2 years.

pete a said: Oh Stop it, Looks great. As an aside with Cayman R prices going up they are now the same price as a Gen 2 Carera S, that's a tough call when i think about it. Not the same A low mileage 2011/61 plate CR circa£45k whereas a low mileage 2011/61 plate good spec./ colour C2S circa £55k+

Off to try this one next weekend, hiring and taking up to the Evo triangle & Anglesey circuit! (not on track though ) http://sportshire.co.uk/car/porsche-boxster-s/#.VU... |http://thumbsnap.com/UD6eILUT[/url]

Thats been in the classifieds for a while!

Sarnie said: Thats been in the classifieds for a while! Was it? Is the spec right on it - I've been thinking of one as almost sensible alongside my track-oriented TVR, so useful to have a full weekend test drive from a hire co. Edited by tail slide on Friday 8th May 21:23

PorscheGT4 said: ta :-) I know the Cayman was kind of derided when it first came out Gayman poor mans 911 and so on , but for my money its almost like a back to its roots 911 small fast and lighter than what the 911 has now become which can only be a good thing

cant wait to tune up my R, 1295 kg 370 bhp carbon buckets manuall hydraulic steering - motoring nirvana.

Axel987 said: cant wait to tune up my R, 1295 kg 370 bhp carbon buckets manuall hydraulic steering - motoring nirvana. when are you getting it back ?

I'm tempted, especially no my geo is sorted but I'm in 2 minds as to whether I actually need more power (never thought I'd say that!) Exhaust change is next though but that's noise rather than any (if at all) performance gains

Porsche only moved the engine back and added extra seats to the production cars to lower costs and make it more practical. The Boxster/Cayman is the "proper" Porsche, true to the initial concept.

I am going down to germany end of may to get everything done. gonna be so epic. David, you still havent sent me the video.

Axel987 said: I am going down to germany end of may to get everything done. gonna be so epic. David, you still havent sent me the video. not managed to get out and take one yet :-( weather here is mental, sun they hail storms and I had a busy week end. I will do a vid VERY soon.

cool! the trip back from germany is gonna be one big grin for me. Never selling it.

you are going to be shocked !! I don't have the words for my car atm, it sounds mega and the midrange is awesome. did you get the 3rd gear pulls from stock to modded ? I was a little disappointed in the gain in times, butt dyno would have said a lot faster, but it's how it feels and sounds which counts, at least it is a bit faster :-) and still takes 8/10th second off a 3rd gear pull with my est 355bhp.

what mods did you do again?

Axel987 said: what mods did you do again? I don't post 100% of my mods, did you get my emails with 3rd gear pulls etc, send me an email and i'll send you what I have done to it.

I did, I replied and gave you my primary email did you not get that mail <.<
