Owner-To-Be Checking In

[David87]

Hi, I'm David.

I currently don't have a car (had to sell my last one when I bought my first house), but since then I've been gradually saving back up the money with a very specific purchase in mind... a Porsche Cayman. I won't have enough for what I'm after until the middle of next year, but I'm so excited about getting another car - and not just any old car, my dream car - that I simply cannot just feverishly read this part of PH any longer and had to post something!

What I'll be looking for is a Gen II Cayman S but, if they're just about affordable for me by then, a Cayman R. That said, if a lovely Gen I Cayman S Sport came along I'd also be tempted by that. Not really fussed about spec or colour etc. as, while I do have a preferred specification, Porsches are so customisable that realistically the car I would choose from new probably doesn't even exist. PDK would be nice, as would the PSE, xenon headlamps and SCPP. Guards Red, Cream White or Riviera Blue would be my ultimate colour choices but in reality only one of them will be possible to find, so I'll take anything!

Only a few more months to go...

it'll be interesting to see just how much the caymenR will drop by next summer. the new boxster/caymen is bound to have an effect & people are already saying that porsche are offering huge discounts on the stock they are carrying now.

Welcome along David.

Good luck with the purchase.

Hey David, welcome. If you plan to track your Cayman, you may want to hold out for Cayman Gen 2 over the Gen 1 sport (although I do like the colour schemes and options). The Gen 2 engine is slightly more responsive and has four oil pumps to avoid oil starvation at high G's on the track. Plus the road tax is cheaper as well (I think).
