Caymen R until 991 GT3 ?
Discussion
Recently sold a 997 GT3 Clubsport to fund a 991 GT3 due Dec . Already missing not having a special car . Today I've been offered a low mileage white manual cayman R for mid to high 30,s . Buckets and Spyder wheels . I'm tempted to jump into it for the next 4 months .....thoughts .
1) Will it be a huge let down after 997 ?
2) Will it be a hard sell in Dec ?
Crystal ball time I know but just after some opinions .

Are you sure you're missing a special car ? 😉
I considered a Cayman R and Definately a good stop gap.
Who knows you may actually enjoy it so much you keep it.
I'm sure others have.
PS I'm loving the gt3
Well that turned out to be an expensive decision going to OPC to change my wheels back to standard finish on my Nov build 991 GT3
Mint 10,000m CaymAn R had just been dropped off . Manual , PSE , Buckets , Spyder Wheels , A/c , bi xenon s and some other bits and bobs . Topped off with 2 yr warranty . Bought as a stop gap until 991 GT3 arrives . Would love to keep both but likely this will be going up for sale Dec .....

1: no it's a better road car than your 997 (well a CAYMAN is), you won't want to part with it.
2: you should make a tidy sum if you are buying mid 30's as most are well over 40k now, there is only 1 for sale at a OPC and that's £45k
Just noticed the error . Don't appear to be able to edit the title . Doh . 2: you should make a tidy sum if you are buying mid 30's as most are well over 40k now, there is only 1 for sale at a OPC and that's £45k

Has all the right spec I think Paul so good purchase plus the warranty will still have longevity for the new owner which makes it attractive as the gt3 you sold me has.

Cayman R's have a good following so never a bad trade also you have it In the best colour scheme.
Have to say having seen your garage both would look awesome if you could possibly keep the two.
Great combo

Cheers , Having the 2 together for at least a couple of months is very appealing . Maybe even try and get the other half to keep this instead of her current wheels . This has all come from changing the wheels to silver then back to titanium !!!Cayman R's have a good following so never a bad trade also you have it In the best colour scheme.
