Buying first Cayman .... Stressful !!

[prestonchris]

Been trying to buy my first cayman for about 3 months now , good cars seem to go very quickly and being up north they are often down south so by the time I can get a day off work they have gone

Also prices seem to have gone up by about 1k since I started looking :-(

Anyway , manged to look at a 2.7 today

but it had a stone chip in the middle of the left wing very noticeable, say 3mm by 3mm ,two of the alloys had bubbles in them and the brakes which had supposedly just been fitted with new discs and pads seemed very spongy

was up for 16895 , so I let me head rule my heart and walked away , Am I being too picky ??

I would say the least I should be expecting the alloys to be near perfect ??

Cheers

Stone Chip



2 wheels like this



I said most I would pay was 16k and he wasn't interested , wanted pretty much list price ,

Don't really want a touch up job on a stone chip on top of the front wing , I'd want the whole wing doing

so that including the alloys would take it over 17K

To be honest I want to buy the car then not have to worry about getting things done correctly , just adds more stress !! ha ha

I drive a BMW 3 series and when I got into my car the brakes felt much better , the Porsche did seem to be taking a long distance to slow down unless a floored the brakes

Its the first one i've drove , driving another on thursday , so will be good to compare


I'll just buy a focus !
