Peridot, manual, some nice options.
That was a very nice looking car, and keenly priced.

Anyone on here buy it?

£36995 with pse, nav, pcm and rear park sensors as far as I could tell. Bucket seats and spyder wheels as well. 12k miles, fsh. £5k too cheap Imho despite being in the wilds near Aberdeen.

Had one. Same colour and spec. One of my favourite cars of all time. Back to Porsche now with a Boxster GTS.

Why was it so cheap? Looks at least 5 k less than most on the market.
Main dealer have one in the same colour £42,995
I respect after market dealers would be less but never that cheap.

Looks great after the clean and congrats enjoy.

I felt it was good value without being 'cheap' given the Cayman S / R market while I was looking. I suppose dealer cars with associated warranty have something like a £2k premium at advertised price so any 'difference' is perhaps nearer £3k and there was a story associated with the previous owner which checked out when I investigated. No gremlins have crawled out the woodwork yet so fingers crossed it's as good as it drives :-)

One of the few cars I have had which I miss. Being in Guernsey I often see it around too! frown

All that said I am enjoying my new Boxster GTS (a more muted colour, racing yellow) and it is fast becoming a good substitute! driving
