M135i to Cayman?

[chrisgVRS]

Afternoon all!

I currently am driving a BMW M135i that I have had for 10 months, my plan is to sell the BMW in the Autumn and save over the winter for a Cayman. I plan on a budget of £30k. With depreciation do you think that the latest Cayman model would be within reach by February/March time?

Test drove a 2011 model on Sunday but think it best to save for something I really want!

Any comments gratefully received!

Thanks,
Chris

Disappointing but thanks for being honest, might have to spend that little bit more!

I would love to buy from someone on here who has cared for the car as I would, anyone planning to sell early 2015?!

To be honest the spec is not that important to me, the condition would be the deciding factor!

Cheers

Out of interest, what's prompted the desire move from the M135i to the Cayman?

I drove both the cars for a day before deciding on the Cayman, but would say it was a tough call between the two, but admittedly that was taking cost in to the equation too. Bang for buck the M135i is probably one of the best new cars out there at the moment. Every other car in the class is woefully dull to drive.

Keep an eye on the classifieds, with the introduction of the new GTS model, this may have some impact on the other models, particularly the S if the budget can stretch. You mention condition is important, so something in the dealer network with a warranty is probably the safest bet.

Being honest it comes down to the heritage of Porsche and desire to own one! The M135i is incredible, effortlessly fast reaching jail baiting speeds all to quickly. Perhaps however to fast, the 2011 Cayman I drove at the weekend although not anywhere near as fast on paper felt faster due to noise and seating position.

I will be keeping my eyes peeled and no doubt creep the budget up to £31k!

In March 2015 31k would very likely buy mine, it would be 15 mths old with 21 mths warranty remaining.



Oh, and it will have 40,000 miles on it....

Very interesting, what spec do you have, any pics!
