Lovely colour but [sigh] it's another PDK. Where are the manuals?

Manuals seem to be private sale at the moment, there is a couple around for the right price.

Manuals seem to sell way quicker

Sorry, not quite clear what you mean by 'private sale'. All five (non-cat) Cayman R cars on Auto Trader are PDK and are at dealers, so perhaps I'm missing something.

There are a couple around for sale privately, as in not advertised but looking at £45k to £48k

I'm only looking for £42.5k for my manual CR
Not properly advertised on autotrader etc but nearing the time to start!
Understandable as to why some would opt to buy from a dealer in terms of finance/warranty, but there are some cracking enthusiast owned cars out there for sale private too!

Pie have had that one about a month or so now. I think they have finally taken some better pics of it outside their new facility.

Missing sports chrono, which on a proper gearbox wouldn't fuss me... pdk would definitely opt for!

Probably returned to its original plate before auction and was on a private plate.

Hi, looking for your thoughts and experiences of changing a Cayman R for a 981 Spyder or GT4 but wondering if I might regret selling my R, it’s well specced (manual, carbon buckets, PSE, chrono, Spyder alloys) I’ve owned it nearly 6 years and know what a special and rare car it is, just got that itch to try something else, I’m torn as appreciate the newer, more powerful and capable Caymans but concerned that they are bigger (less intimate cabin, larger footprint) and have less feel from steering but love the looks of the 981 GT4 and Spyder plus the extra performance and power but are they as special to drive on the road ? Obviously I will be looking to drive both cars in the near future to see how they drive/feel. All your thoughts and experiences are much appreciated
