Make sue you hpi it, my recent experience suggests many bargains often too good to be true and there’s a reason why vendors don’t use autotrader without its write off flags etc.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am trying to work out a fair price for a mint one owner Cayman with full history and 9,000 verified miles. The seller wants 18k which feels top dollar (find another one!) Ideally I want a car to use and not garage so would probably be better with a newer / higher mile Cayman however if I always like a little cheeky earner if one presents itself!

POST 2Original post

Less than 12 miles/week - so assuming there are long periods it has sat completely unused. Not sure how good the rubbers, pipes, air-con system, battery etc would be with that little use and lubrication running through them - may require a fair bit of replacement if you intend to use it a more normal amount. If serviced and maintained according to time and not mileage, then it may be a decent buy, and the price doesn't sound too toppy for something essentially brand new.

POST 3Original post

Sounds a fair price if the bodywork and history are good. Fairly bulletproof model year 2.7

Considering there are 2.7's listed at £18K with 70K+miles and AutoTrader badges them as 'Good Price' I would say makes your potential purchase a steal.

Exactly, that is an absolute steal. Snap their arm off before it goes on Collecting Cars. As for "would probably be better with a newer / higher mile Cayman", not so sure, as you could put 50k miles on over the next few years and it would still be low miles for the year and be worth £15k or £16k. And if you do less than that it will be depreciation proof.

POST 6Original post

Cheap if it looks and feels like a 9k mile car. But also pointless. What are you supposed to do with it? I thought you had a rebuilt 3.4 all sorted?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unfortunately the 3.4 had a major electric fault and wouldn't start. It was a 300 mile roundtrip I wasn't prepared to take
