718 Cayman - Base 2.0 with options Or boggers GTS
Discussion
Hi all
Hoping I can get some thoughts on what those fortunate enough to be in the position to buy a 718 would do..
I am in the market for a 718 Cayman and will likely buy new as I can't find any cars used that have the spec I want in a base car (sports plus seats rarely specced for example).
I am after a PDK car.
We're I to go for a base car it is coming out at c. £50-54k dependent on how silly I go!
Cutting a few (most!) corners I can get a lightly spec'd GTS for £65k
My plan is to put down £15-20k deposit and worry about it in 3 years. The GTS is c. £100 pm which is manageable.
I feel the GTS will be way more special but wonder if by not speccing it up (e.g. interior etc.) I am missing the point.
Is the base model with a nice spec going to be a nicer ownership proposition? And of course 3-4k cheaper over the 3 years..
I do wonder which would depreciate more too. Presume the GTS will be better..?
Penny for your thoughts...

I was guessing that you had a fair few of the essential options if the spec was £65k.
I agree that some are very desirable.
As I can't resist playing on the configurator, I came up with this spec below for just over £65k and covers the stuff that I think is most desirable and you still have a very, very special car. Some of these items may not be on your list, others may be more important, for example, you may want to upgrade the lights as the standard lights are not great. However, that may depend on how much driving you do in unlit areas.
Bottom line IMO, you can definitely have a special GTS at around £65k with the options that are most desirable.

Very similar to my spec.I agree that some are very desirable.
