itsujack Posted 28July, 2015 Report Share Posted 28July, 2015 $120k currently buys either a low km mint MY11 987 Cayman R or Boxster Spyder. Are these getting cheaper or is this where they'll sit for a while now? Cayman R is meant to be a great drive and given Porsche's focus on Cayman performance variants now (GTS, GT4), the R was the first one, so...fun drivers car and future collectable? http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-Cayman-2011/OAG-AD-2132922/?Cr=1http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-Boxster-2010/OAG-AD-1902044/?Cr=0 Chris-p and edgy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 28July, 2015 Report Share Posted 28July, 2015 I was always a fan of the 911 and I was ready to buy one when I first really noticed the Cayman. After watching review after review, it was a no brainer. I have also noticed that even scince the start of the year the prices have actually climbed a bit. At the beginning of the year there were regularly S manuals at around the 50k mark. Now they are generally closer to the 60k mark. I think after the announcement of the GT4 more people are concious of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted 29July, 2015 Report Share Posted 29July, 2015 I only owned one, but a mate had one at the same time whilst we lived in Switzerland for a few years. Didn't hate it at all, loads of fun especially on icy roads, but cost an absolute bomb to keep both on the road even compared to Porsche costs, and then the rust issues begun... But I really love the understated, muscular design (Marcello Gandini got it right). And if I'm being completely honest I do browse the older ones on carsales from time to time...As always, find an honest independent specialist to do what you can't!Parts availability seems to be okay these days. Maybe because they all rusted away. Luckily mine appears to be rust free. Anyway it is doubtful I'll own it long. I have too much going on.

It happens. I love how specific he is on what type of boat. While 'muscle car' could mean anything, it's going to be a 20 ft v-drive for the boat.Problem is, for $130k, he's not going to get much change for a 964 or 930 left over for the muscle car and boat.

Now if you could sorce a cheap 2.7 and build a decent chassis it could be nice, but it would be an expensive prospect .

A first Q is can you get shortened pans registered these days. Likely answer is unlikely or at some cost to rework what has been done and engineeering $$$. its a pile of incomplete glass of unknown quality .

Cal care to comment 20-30-40k ++ to make this driveable?yet a roof on it though.. You can't get it registered now, no. The body it all wrong. The mould appears to have been taken from a 356C, but then the bonnet is all wrong in shape. Wouldn't like to put a figure on it, but it's not going to look anything like a Speedster when finished anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
