Niko Posted 5July, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 5July, 2015 Thanks Mike, Dave and Garry, they are great buying especially now that a lot of the A/C cars are heading well and truly North.(Sorry about the BAFE bit popping up here, must be gremlins with the new system. When you try to do a fresh reply the older ones you have replied to also pop up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 5July, 2015 Report Share Posted 5July, 2015 Niko, fantastic looking car, how straight does that look, these have to be the best value Porsches on the market at the momentenjoy mateActually I have been watching them for the last 6 months or more and they have actually been going back up in price. Earlier in the year there were a few nice, low km (gen 1 manuals) available for very low 50's. Now they are starting at 60. I think with the release of the GT4 Caymans are coming onto people's radars a lot more. I know I always wanted a 911 and it wasn't until I started shopping that I saw more and more about how good the Cayman was, that I couldn't go past it. Congrats Niko, great buy.

I actually seen a quote by Walter Rohrl today that said he thinks the new Gt4 Cayman is better than the GT3's I'm sure Porsche would be happy with that...not.I agree with what your saying, after having my first proper drive in mine this morning, I can't believe how good they really are. Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 9July, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 9July, 2015 Wow, that's unreal. Nice car RA. IT is a twin.The original owner of mine was one of three brothers, who all purchased 3 identical Cayman S's would you believe. They then all 3 purchased 3 identical Cayennes. All from PCM. Have you had yours since new, or do you know it's previous owner. Is it a manual?be a long shot if yours is one of the three. Should compare VIN numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA987 Posted 9July, 2015 Report Share Posted 9July, 2015 Yep...one of 3 too....Currently 16,500kms.. Manual .. 2009. Not sure if it's same 3 however.. Had mine 2 years.is it possible that there are 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 9July, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 9July, 2015 Thanks Tony, they do look pretty damn good.i think we should compare VIN' s RA. Be interesting if they are from the same family. 16,500 k,s great stuff, I thought I had a low one with 17,200. I have an enquiry going with PCM as to numbers of this configeration that are in Aus.im thinking they are kin....from the same family... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 10July, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 10July, 2015 Yep...one of 3 too....Currently 16,500kms.. Manual .. 2009. Not sure if it's same 3 however.. Had mine 2 years.is it possible that there are 6 My car has had two previous owners. The first being one of the three brothers. Then when the 3 of them purchased the Cayennes, my one went back to PCM as a trade in on the Cayenne.. Approximately 2 years ago it was sold to a bloke in Adelaide, with 11000 on the clock. He kept it for two years and put 6000 on the clock. He then had to live in Singapore with his work. He contacted PCM to see if he could sell it back to them, which he did. So that would completely fit in with your cars time frame.Did you get yours from PCM? I will check the original delivery date of the car in my owners stuff and see if it matches yours, but sounds like these two are brothers. The third one is still out there....

RA987 Posted 10July, 2015 Report Share Posted 10July, 2015 I had 3 to choose from...at PCM... I chose the one with 9,500 kms. The next had 11k and the other 18k. I thought the 3 brothers bought 911's.. Perhaps not then. Rocco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
