cafe_racer Posted 13September, 2021 Report Share Posted 13September, 2021 Thanks, something did look NQR about it all so far as dash, guards etc. And I don’t know enough about these early 911’s to work it out.

johnpeen Posted 17September, 2021 Report Share Posted 17September, 2021 A repost from elsewhere. I sure hope I got the right forum this time...🙄 Hi everyone My apologies in advance for the eye-rolling this post will cause among the many knowledgeable Porsche veterans here. I had the good fortune to drive a 2010 911 for a few days and really fell in love with it. I've been behind the wheel of BMWs and Audis before but they never did much for me. I usually stick with Camrys. So I went online and saw that Porsche's sticker price for a basic 911 is around $250K. They also offer a guaranteed future value programme by which they claim they'll buy the car back from you if you upgrade to a new model. $250K for me is a big deal - two years' net wages. I see that the Cayman is far more affordable, particularly second-hand. I haven't seen a 911 second-hand for under $100K - close to the price of a new 718 Cayman. Covid makes test-driving a Cayman difficult, but I'm led to understand that it's very similar to a 911 to amateurs like me. I obviously have plenty of research to do before I start throwing money around. What do people here think about Porsche's guaranteed future value scheme? Are there particular Cayman years to avoid if I opt for a second-hand one? They seem to be scarce on carsales.com.au. Thanks for any constructive input.

Man/Auto ? We need more info on what type of drive experience you are looking for ? Do you want it as a daily driver or the odd weekend/Sunday joy run ? There are so many great models and variations. You don't need to spend $250k even though the market is red hot at the moment. A quick search on CS for 2010 models and I found this which is at a very different price point. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2010-porsche-911-carrera-s-997-series-ii-auto-my10/SSE-AD-7408371/?Cr=2 When you are outlaying this sort of coin if I was you I would be patient and drive as many different models as you can once we are out of lockdown and able to do so, depending on where you are located. My suggestion is to decide on your budget range first allowing ~10-20k wiggle room if you find something you really want. If you can share more details as highlighted above you are likely to get much more informed and helpful feedback. TwoHeadsTas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can share more details as highlighted above you are likely to get much more informed and helpful feedback. Thanks for the terrific pointers, Thommo66. I drove a 911 cabriolet automatic. While I like the idea of driving manual, I'm not experienced enough with high-powered cars for stick to be anything but another nuisance. I've never cared much for cars, sporty or mediocre. But those few days zipping along country roads with the 911 were exhilarating. My budget is $100K to $120K. For safety and convenience, I'd opt for a coupe over a cabriolet. The vehicle would be solely for Sunday expeditions; I have no delusions of using it as an everyday family car. I agree that patience is good counsel in this sort of environment. I'm not looking to make a purchase before the end of next year. Posting here is very much part of my initial research phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
