PeterH Posted 23August, 2016 Report Share Posted 23August, 2016 HiI'm a new member and looking to purchase a 2006 Cayman S. I've found one with about 40,000 k's, one owner,full service history and asking around $58,000.Are there any issues I should be looking for in a 10 year old Cayman S with low k's. Is $58,000 a reasonable price for this vehicle.Any thoughts would be appreciated.Thanks, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2000 Posted 23August, 2016 Report Share Posted 23August, 2016 From what I have seen on Carsales over the last 6 months, $58k may be a bit over the mark. I would aim for low 50s. But if the one you are looking at is a really good example, I wouldn't let price be a driving factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911sies Posted 23August, 2016 Report Share Posted 23August, 2016 As D2000 says, don't let the price be the deciding factor if you find a good one. The car you describe, I think could be got for $55k if that history is really "full". Options are a factor on price. Does it have full leather interior, Sport Chrono, Sports Exhaust? etc. 40,000 kms in 10 years is very low mileage, and if its been maintained well, then all good. These cars need to be driven and examples with low mileage are sometimes not the best examples you think they'd be. I've posted everything I know about them on this thread, There's some good advice on there Cayman Ownership Receipts and service records are a must. A major service (if it hasn't been done) will set you back about $2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911sies Posted 24August, 2016 Report Share Posted 24August, 2016 More than happy to help, as I went through the same process a couple of years back. There's a few more CS's around now, which is useful when you're hunting for a good one. If you've read through the thread I linked Peter, and still have questions, then feel free to ask or Private Message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t888 Posted 24August, 2016 Report Share Posted 24August, 2016 2009-onwards models have an improved engine. at $58k you're edging close to these. there have been a few 987.2 boxsters move around this price lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly in manual.True. 987.2 Cayman S (if you can find one) are $80k plus. Non-S manuals are still close to $70k. There is a second-gen Boxster on Carsales for $60k, but again, it's a non S.

michel Posted 25August, 2016 Report Share Posted 25August, 2016 I think Peter is flexible i, so likely look at a later gen if one presents. ive also being encouraging him to post a wanted here on the forum. So so if anyone has a pre 2010 gen cayman S manual. preferably in a white or, dark grey metallic/flat, or other interesting colour - not red or yellow ... And thinking of selling step forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911sies Posted 1September, 2016 Report Share Posted 1September, 2016 A few of the Gen 1's have sold in the last week. They sit there for ages and then vanish within a day or two.Did he find a Gen 2?. There's one that's hanging around in QLD. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-Cayman-2010/SSE-AD-4159425/?Cr=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
