What 15kish Porsche?
Discussion
Hi,
I'm after something that can be driven everyday if required but that will do approx 5k per day.
Budget 15k and want something pretty reliable.... what's the safest option? Not wanting borescore/engine failure worries.
I'm thinking boxster/Cayman/z4m but do like the idea of a Porsche!
From abit of reading I think the 3.4 engine is the worst?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the replies.
I would love a 911 but upkeep of the older car worries me.... my thought was a newer boxster or Cayman would be better in that respect.
Any additional upkeep (if any) should be offset by lack of depreciation, or in the case of a 996, possibly even appreciation. I would love a 911 but upkeep of the older car worries me.... my thought was a newer boxster or Cayman would be better in that respect.
My choice for £15k was an 07 Cayman 2.7. For the money there aren't a great amount of 3.4s to choose from at £15k, perhaps some early model high milers but the risk of engine failure was just too off-putting for me. I didn't want to be worrying and thinking about it every time I drove the car.
I think the 2.7 is excellent, it has the perfect amount of useable speed for A and B roads and revs and handles beautifully. 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and more than good enough for fast cruising on the motorway. And importantly doesn't seem to suffer from the issues which affect the 3.4.
What are you driving now?

Maybe an early 987 3.2s Boxster would be a decent middle ground? i.e. it's not as likely to bore score, but has more torque than the revvy 2.7?I think the 2.7 is excellent, it has the perfect amount of useable speed for A and B roads and revs and handles beautifully. 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and more than good enough for fast cruising on the motorway.
