Just bought a Gen II Cayman - Page 1 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

Just wanted to say a thanks to all on the forums as it was used in my research when deciding which Porsche to go for and then which Cayman spec to get. You guys know your stuff. Im a very happy person right now! Look forward to learning more and posting on here :-)

Congrats! what spec did you get? G

Here is the blurb of the advert - was on this site and the guy was a total professional and a pleasure to deal with:- For sale is my low mileage Gen II Porsche Cayman S with an options list that makes other ‘fully loaded’ Caymans look bog standard. The original sales invoice (supplied) shows that the first private owner put over £22k worth of options on the car when he ordered it. The car itself currently has Porsche warranty on until the end of November 2014 and had ‘major maintenance’ at its last service completed by Porsche Centre Exeter just 4,000 miles ago. The condition is typical of an enthusiast owned car with no bodywork damages (dings or scratches), un-marked wheels, spotless interior and a comprehensive service record (everything completed by Porsche, even tyre changes!). There’s tax until November 2014 and I’ll get my local Porsche Centre to put a fresh MOT on ready for the next owner. Of course, all MOT certificates and service invoices from new, come with the car. For those who are particularly meticulous about buying used Porsche’s, I have a print-out of the cars ‘over-rev’ history that my local Porsche Centre supplied from earlier this year, last time it was in, which proves how well this car has been cared for. The car is currently on the C6AYM cherished number plate. As it's quite personal to the car, I'll include it in the sale. Optional extras • Sport Chrono Package Plus • Short shifter • Mechanically locking rear differential • Porsche Sports Exhaust (PSE), switchable • Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) • Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights • Auto-dimming interior/exterior mirrors with integrated rain sensor • Park Assist • Cruise Control • Auto-dimming interior/exterior mirrors with integrated rain sensor • Extended leather package (includes seats, dashboard upper/lower sections, and door panels in Smooth-Finish Leather) • Heated seats • Sports seats • Multi-function steering wheel • Heated steering wheel • PCM 3.0 with navigation module (updated with 2014 maps and 7 digit postcode support) • Bose surround sound system • Universal audio interface with iPod connection • Bluetooth telephone module • Integrated six-disc CD/ DVD changer Service history • 17/06/11 at 4,149 miles by Porsche Centre Exeter: 2yr minor maintenance and brake fluid change • 12/08/13 at 11,867 miles by Porsche Centre Exeter: 4yr major maintenance, brake fluid change, spark plug change, air-con service, battery change and tyre sealant change. • MOT: 09/05/12 at 6,993 by Porsche Centre Exeter – no advisories • MOT: 05/06/13 at 11,783 by Porsche Centre Exeter – no advisories Tyres and wheels All 4 alloys have Porsche approved Michelin Pilot Sport N2’s, the front tyres were replaced at 12,758 and the rears were replaced at 11,667 – both changes were done by Porsche and the tyres have plenty of tread on them. The lovely 19” (Boxster Spyder / Cayman R) wheels are completely unmarked).

Fantastic spec. And that's how you do a car advert

Lovely spec — I have everything there on mine too. The full leather interior make it a really special place to be.

Yes the guy was very professional. Has been nothing but easy to deal with and as a first time Porsche buyer its great to have someone willing to impart knowledge and know how!

no pic's ? can i ask how much you gave for the car?

Only 14k on the clock too its effectively a new car with the engine run in. The spec is crazy too. I knew I was going to take it when I got in it with the owner who drove me about before I had a go! Pick it up this week and cant wait! Ill post some pics up. But the advert shows it in all its glory :-) Edited by sebulban on Sunday 15th June 19:43

Looks a bit on the pricey side for a 2009 car, however are you ever going to find a better spec lower mileage car, I also love the wheels and the condition looks excellent in the pics, definitely a case of getting what you paid for , enjoy the car, cannot be many better caymans around!!

Totally agree. The research ive done shows its top end price wise. But I work in sales and just had to concede it is worth the money. The guy has gone official Porsche on everything and took such good care of it. Not a mark on it. All the updated maps and full digits for the sat nav. All 4 tyres recently replaced. MOT just done. Also warranty and tax till end of the year! Im just looking forward to getting hold of it now!!!
