So I stumbled across a delivery miles 991 GT3 today and now think I may have to part with my CR.

White, manual s/s, black spiders, buckets, ac, etc. had just renewed warranty and 4700 miles. Best sell privately or try jzm, 911v etc?

Called into OPC today to have a look at a GT2 RS they have in and checked build status on the GT3 while there . Now confirmed 5/11 so time to start thinking about selling the Cayman R .

It's only been 4 weeks but grown really attached to the car . Great Daily Driver and perfect car for the rural area I live in . Going to do some sums over the weekend to see I can find a way to keep both .

But just incase I can't there may be a fantastic spec low mileage R coming to market late Oct ,early Nov with 23 month Porsche Warranty. The car is that good OPC have offered what I gave them to have the car back .

PM me if anyone is looking .

How much camber and caster adjustment do you have ?
Steve, you knew the answer to this.

As standard, front max -1.5, rear max 2.5.

Designed by Porsche not to compete with the GT3.

But this is becoming a very big car ...

And the Cayman will have it's day smile In the spirit of the 964RS ..

JZM guys really helpful - can understand all the good comments on here. But not so convenient for me.

Andrew at George Mackay brilliant. Would highly recommend them, did a great job selling car for good price quickly. And if the new owner is on here you have got a great well loved car!

Did have second thoughts when handing over the keys. But then the racing yellow GT3 arrived.... :-)

100% agreed which is why I sold my 996RS to get back in one.

Y'day drove mine 2hrs in sheer comfort to a track day, turned all the track paraphernalia on and had a hoot for 5 hours then drove it 2hrs back again. Oh and picked up some food at the supermarket on the way home,

How can that not be the perfect car for any occasion?

OP have you sold the Cayman yet?

Faultlessly as I thought it would knowing its 'pedigree'

Just spotted the cayman looks great and very desirable in manual too.

Funny that garage looks vaguely familiar :-)

Would it not be easier all round to just give it back to the dealer if they are willing to give you what you paid for it only a few weeks ago?

Keep it you will def miss it, or sell it now and forget how well the steering feels Befor you get the new one.:-)

My mate would buy it but it's about a month to soon for him

Great spec car thoug. Rare with xenons but then no leather. Cannot have it all.
I miss xenons but have leather , not many cars with every thing.

Has it got the SS ? Cheap to fit if not.

I'll be hunting for an R in a years time , I'm sure . What is SS ? Exhaust ? If so yes has PSE .

Agreed a sale today although deposit not cleared yet , so haven't removed ad. I'm really not fussed if it doesn't sell . I'll just need to clear the other side of the garage out !
