Keep talking them down and you can sell the 987.1 and buy an R with the change

Or I just buy another two 987.1's and keep driving them until all 3 of them break. I reckon that'll give me a couple of years

I'm not a good enough driver to know the difference!

None of us are. Just buy what you like and enjoy it.
Willing to bet 99% of the GT3 owning brigade couldn't drive one anywhere near its capabilities and neither could I.

Doesn't stop me wanting one though and i would buy one in a heartbeat if the funds allowed.

Yes, it's a great time to be a Porsche fanboy.

I keep going around in circles looking at 'upgrades'. Keep coming to the conclusion I'll just drive what I've got until it breaks...fix it...and repeat...

If I think Cayman R's are sitting at the right price for ME then I'll jump in.

Other than no PSE, the spec looks OK to me, but my big concern is the roll cage...... it would bother me as to how much time it spent on track and insurance love a roll cage to push up premiums. (I expect any R to have been on track, but a roll cage seems a bit more serious and would make me think its been on track a lot..... but it looks the nuts though!)

Price seems a fair negotiating starting point if it has acceptable providers for the service history.



.......and cup holders in an R ? That would be the deal breaker!

The cage installation looks tidy enough. Makes the black PDK car look good value.

If you don’t watch the market and put your fingers in your ears maybe.

The fact is PDK cars of this era are very poor sellers at much lower prices, just like 911 997 are, in fact atm the price difference from a manual GTS to PDK is upto £20k !!

PDK prices have to be well off manual prices as do 987 Spyders.

It what it is, thats the market and has been on most makes since the 964 !

Lots of words, doesn't make your original statement correct

All cars will sell at the right price, manual or PDK

The market shows that manuals are in slightly higher demand, but a good car is a good car and either will sell

Does that mean all PDK R’s are still sat with Porsche unsold?
