No PCM but does have porsche warranty until May - I was thinking about adding another year (see my previous post), but depends on the 'deal'.

Major service is due next month, but I was going to get this done prior to selling.
Does the warranty transfer over to the new owner as simple as that? Or is a retest retest required before that new owner can renew the next time?

Drop me an email when you're ready please mate. (my email is linked to my profile on here)

Sounds like your car could be a great spec for me smile depending on price obviously ;P

Yes the warranty is transferable with a private sale.

I'll drop you a email towards the end of the week.

PDK owners will not be panicking, I expect.

This OPC seem to be pretty ambitious with their pricing;

£45k is a bonkers price for that car.

Not sustainable at all once the GT4s start to flow into OPCs.

er the cars 1/2 the price and an amazing car to drive, might even go up as the people who did not get a GT4 hunt out other things to buy.

most £40k people don't have £80k money.

as it stands the R is still the best most hardcore Cayman you can drive tomorrow, spend £2k on it and you have GT3 adjustable arms etc, buy some RS29 and CUP 2's and go and play.

Or buy an S and spend, what, £10k turning it into a better car than the R? You would save £10k doing that. It is investment pricing, pure and simple. Nothing to do with driving the thing.

£45k for a 30,000 mile car that isn't, too non-enthusiasts, even a proper Porsche? Not a chance unless you are buying to stick it in an air-conditioned garage.

I am not fussed what peoples thoughts are on the R.

the OPC car does look too expensive and does not have the light wheels or bucket seats and is 30k miles and 45k

So yes looks crazy.

I also think spending 10k on a normal S is crazy on a car which is dropping in price every month

So people have a choice as always.

Buy a S for 10k less and spend 10k on it, but still be in a S and it's losing value every day.
Buy a R with all the right bits and spend very little on LCA and pads, and the cars are firm money wise.
Buy a OPC hi miles car with no good bits and chairs.

no right or wrongs just more choice.

Cayman S with a factory fitted LSD is cheap enjoyable motoring.

yes it is, but an R is free motoring and comes with free buckets and free very well set up Passive dampers and light weight wheels.

a choice people can make when buying.
