Niko Posted 30August, 2014 Report Share Posted 30August, 2014 Price reduced from $46.800 down to $45.500 The clutch & Flywheel have just been replaced at 77000K? Is that a bit early? only asking because I really don't know, not criticising it. Otherwise it ticks a lot of boxes http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/SSE-AD-2740240?WT.seg_4=PriceAlert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk111 Posted 31August, 2014 Report Share Posted 31August, 2014 On a bang for your buck meter this is great value and really nice daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB911 Posted 31August, 2014 Report Share Posted 31August, 2014 If it's any good that is a great price, I quite like the Cayman. I think I'd just get sick of saying "No its not the 4wd, that's the Cayenne" every time someone asked what I drove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 31August, 2014 Report Share Posted 31August, 2014 Whats the average basic service costs on something like the Cayman? Mike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baso Posted 31August, 2014 Report Share Posted 31August, 2014 Just my opinion, but if it is a city car that gets driven around town and not highway runs etc, clutch seems not out of the ballpark. I bought my Boxster with less than 60km on it, with the PPI noting a new clutch is not far off. Does look like a nice car at a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 31August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 31August, 2014 Just my opinion, but if it is a city car that gets driven around town and not highway runs etc, clutch seems not out of the ballpark. I bought my Boxster with less than 60km on it, with the PPI noting a new clutch is not far off. Does look like a nice car at a good price. Fair enough, I guess clutches do go depending on where it is driven and Sydney envisages a lot of bumper to bumper stuff. It was more the replacement of the flywheel that surprised me, although after chatting to a couple of people on the weekend appears every two clutches or thereabouts you should replace the flywheel. I am old school (read dinosaur) and have been through lots of clutches and pressure plates in my younger days but never ever replaced a flywheel. Things have changed obviously. Re-iterating I am not questioning the car for sale, if it was in Melb I would definitely be having a look. Plus it is in NIKO-RED which is a plus.

Mike D'Silva Posted 1September, 2014 Report Share Posted 1September, 2014 OK - whilst that red car is nice.. it isn't an S.. like this one. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-2884269 Plus this one has the sports chrono pack... Dunno if it is still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 1September, 2014 Report Share Posted 1September, 2014 Fyi - i only got 2 services done... The first one was minor I think.. i supplied the oil and filter.. I think I was up for $300 or $400 in labour. The last one I got just before selling included brake flush, new drive belt, new spark plugs plus oil, filter etc... that one was about $1100.

Dunno if it is still available. That is nice. I have to admit IF.......I did go for one (Mrs NIKO would have to be talked into it) I would probably want the S. Otherwise I would be forever kicking myself when I seen an S on the road. Having said that I drove Amanda's 987 Box non S and it was very impressive. ....

Caver Posted 1September, 2014 Report Share Posted 1September, 2014 They have a dual mass flywheel, which cannot be machined, so not surprising that they are replaced every two clutches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 1September, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 1September, 2014 Does Mrs Niko know what you are thinking? Hmmm, sorta, I have shown her the red Cayman on the site and mentioned how good a price it is, and when I see one on the road I point them out to her....(not that you see that many unfortunately) So my strategy is to make her aware of my interest, so if the right time/opportunity does pop up, it won't be like an ambush. But her interest at this stage is disappointing. But I'm working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevMcRev Posted 5September, 2014 Report Share Posted 5September, 2014 Price DROP! $39,995 or offers! Niko, get on it! Just buy an S badge and stick it on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 5September, 2014 Report Share Posted 5September, 2014 It's called "planting the seed" Niko. Stage 2 = "What if" scenarios My strategy is "oh, sorry, didn't I tell you? Oh well, too late now." Payback was swift though - her sister took us to the "diamond park" in Dubai while we were there and I was guilted into a purchase.. I tried the "why would you want diamonds" and all I got was a wry smile and "really?" look. Still got off lightly though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevMcRev Posted 6September, 2014 Report Share Posted 6September, 2014 Oh Niko I were wrong, this is another car altogether... it is $39,995 but is is just down the road in Inverloch!
