Hi everyone,

Hope you're well! I'm a first time poster so please be gentle smile

I currently drive a rather old banged up Peugeot. I've been working quite a few years and saved up a nice bit of dough to upgrade especially now that I run my own company and so image is more important!

I see a lot of Porsche Caymans on Autotrader going for about £15-18K. I know they are 7-8 years old but from what I can tell that shouldn't really matter so long as the car has been well looked after etc.

I don't really want to spend more than £18K at the moment on a second hand one because I want the experience of having one but obviously can't sink all my cash in a car whilst building a business!

Any tips or advice would be so useful. Like I say I'm a newbie so sorry if I sound stupid but just came across Pistonheads and really appreciate your expert opinions.

Thank you!

Hey guys!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Yes I appreciate the viewpoint that having a flash car can signal to people something else.

The thing is it is an internet business and so I don't see customers. The people I supply are all highly successful big retailers and they know my background so they get that this money is not me just frittering away their money into a car. I just want to have a fun car as a single 28 year old male.

Back to the car though I've had emails and calls back from both ePorsch and Portiacraft and they are happy to have Peter Morgan have a look over them.

Is there anything else I can do to make sure I am going into this as well informed as possible?

Regards,
Anuj
