Hi all Has anyone else noticed that the 2.7 Boxster and Cayman are almost identically priced on the configurator for base spec? £39,553 for the Boxster £39,694 for the Cayman Seem to have gotten a bit addicted to the configurator recently and am close to enquiring around how much difference it would be to trade in my 987.2 for a 981.

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.
7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Go for it mate, it's a stunning car, 6 months and can't stop being astonished by overall experience.

Cayman S is still £1000 more than the Boxster S. I've never understood why Porsche have tried to "position" the Cayman "above" the Boxster - surely the Boxster's roof costs a lot more to produce than the Cayman's.

Therefore more profit on the Cayman = clever Porsche.

If it was any other manufacturer I'd probably agree but based on the apparent margins Porsche make I think clever is the more likely scenario.
