I'd much prefer that over the common black-on-black colour scheme. Having looked at a lot of Cayman ads one of the things I'm struggling with is that they are ALL black, grey or silver. Where are the red ones or the blue ones or anything with a bit of colour?!https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282924567289

OUCH £5500 for a fairly short list of jobs.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282924567289
That must have hurt. I wonder what the hourly rate is!
I've done all those to my car myself.
Looking for the collective advice of the thread - I'm looking on a dealer group trade site i'm registered on at a 2005 Cayenne,
3.2 S.
80K miles,
full service history (most from an indy not Porsche),
grey metallic,
standard rims,
black leather,
MOT to Feb 19,
one owner from new
described as "Decent example for it's age, rock solid build quality, feels like a solid car. A good service history although not all Porsche. ". Lots of pics, and all it seems to need is a set of tyres.
Looks like its going to go for slightly over £4K, maybe £4.5K.
Plan would be to buy it, stick a good set of tyres on it and run it for a few months and punt it on with a view to breaking even at worst.
Grab it its a bargain or avoid like the plague?

There's a high mileage 986 S on the Porsche Owners UK FB page. 175k miles, £3,750.
Appears to have PSE and MOT history suggests it's been well cared for.

I recently bought a '04 3.2 on 115k for £4,850. I love the car and think they're really good value. It's in pretty good condition and is definitely a keeper.3.2 S.

I don't think they will drop substantially more at this sort of money, so you should be able to sell it for at least what you paid maybe a bit more, it's just the running costs in between thats the issue.

It would be a bit of a weekend car and just be driven for the experience of it, rather than it being a workhorse or having any real requirement for it - so the miles i'd be putting on would be minimal.
I dont think i would lose money on it, as you say, however its the risk of something expensive going bang in the in between bit...
I'll mull it over over the next day or so.

Fuel consumption of the V6 is apparently not great as it struggles to drag over 2 tons around. Need to look at what options are fitted, some V6 are well spec'd others are poor & it makes a big difference to the ownership experience & thus the price. 3.2 S.

Has it had the carden shaft done? Not cheap if replaced. There is a much cheaper fix for the bearing.
As for tyres if you do go for it I can recommend Vredestein Vortis mine on 18" are amazing.

How about this one. What do we see its fair price to be?987 3.2
55 reg
Manual
Very few options
Everything black
Hard top too
Sensibly sized wheels
Lowish milesage and only 6 services in 12 years so looks like every 2 years as per the standard schedule

The only options i can see from the pics are Bose and Nav. Both of which might be standard....Has it had the carden shaft done? Not cheap if replaced. There is a much cheaper fix for the bearing.

They're usually very good at describing condition but theres no info on what may or may not have been done mechanically.
Its at £3,900 at the minute. Auction ends tomorrow mid afternoon. 4 bids, 5 watchers.
