Porsche Cayman Gen 1 3.4 s Buying first Porsche

[shaunwest]

Hi, Need some advice on buying 2006 cayman s. The car I would like to buy is a 2006 3.4 s in dark grey with 43000 miles on clock (reg no. wa56mvo).It has a full service history some OPC and 1 specialist independent. The car is pretty standard apart from cruise control, 18'' wheels with new tyres. The car seems in good condition overalL with the odd mark here and there, seens to drive o.k, the present owner has only had it 3 months and is selling due to a change of plan. There is no PASM, sat nav, or anything extra apart from cruise, If I buy it I will be the 6th owner , will this effect the value if I try and sell in future ?.

This is my first Porsche and I do have concerns but love the car. I have agreed a price of £15500.00. The car checks out for HPI check.It does have tax and MOT.
I have looked at about 5 other caymans, was going to buy a 2.7 2008 that is mint with 23k on clock but love the power of the 3.4s !

Should I do it ?
Any thoughts Cheers Shaun.

You may be better off posting this in the Porsche section. The number of owners may affect the price slightly but condition is more important. A thorough PPI, including a boroscope given the slightly checked history of this engine, is recommended. Consumables can be expensive (disks, pads, clutch etc) but they are great cars to drive.

Thanks for the advice.

That's an amazing price for that car. Serious bargain.

Put up some pictures.
