I've just started looking for a Cayman S with a budget of around £20k. Other than here, 911V and RSJ where would I find the better examples for sale?

Has anyone had any dealings with RPR626? They have a few nice cars in stock but I can't seem to find many comments (good or bad) on them. Would be good to get some opinions before I make the long trek up north to see them smile

Other than the places you've alrteady mentioned, you could try Auto Trader and http://evo.motormutt.com/. Can't help with the dealer you've asked about, sorry.

Recently got one from Alexander's Prestige in North Yourkshire. They seemed to have a few listed at the time. My cousin also sources porkers - Richard Anthony Porsche (ignore the cars on his site as they are years old)...

Peter is a thoroughly decent chap.

Don't expect airs, graces and expensive coffee, but do expect an honestly described and decent car.

Lol - I spoke to him recently. I don't think he wants to deal with me as I ask too many questions - you know: what condition is it in?; you ok with me wanting to get it inspected? etc

I'm sure he has his target market and does ok from it though

Still looking frown

Budget upped to max £24k. Just missed out on a couple of really nice cars but there doesn't seem to be much around at the moment really. Love the excitement of looking for a new car but hate it too with equal measure. I think I'll go mad if I don't find something soon...

Maybe post up your 'must have' spec, 'like to have' spec and your 'non essential' spec so we can point you towards suitable cars....

For example, when I sourced mine, it HAD to have:

- Porsche Sports Exhaust (wouldn't have Porsche without it)

- 19" Forged Turbo Wheels

- PASM (required if running 19"s)

- Full Leather

- Black paint

- BOSE & Nav

Everything else was just a bonus and not a deal breaker....

yes Great idea!

Must have:
Hard backed sports seats
PASM
Xenons (think they all have them but not sure)
Climate
Less than 40k miles

Would like:
Sport chrono
Extended leather
PSE

Not too fussed on wheels. I prefer the look of the 19s but I hear the 18s ride better.

Preferred colours: red or yellow
No way Jose colours: black

Search away guys! laugh

Worldwideweb, i see why you are happy to let others look for your dream car but it made me laugh.
If anyone is interested in the following...
fly in a helicopter once a week.
wear body armour, carry a pistol and rifle
wear helmet
all the above in 32 degree heat at present
get nose bleeds every few days due to the dust
speaking of dust, experience dust in every crevice of your body


If anyone wants to do this for me, then RAF run flights out here every few days.

Cayman's don't have Xenons (Litronics I think Porsche calls 'em) as standard - at least not Gen.1 cars, which is what you're looking at for that money.

PASM I'd say is only really needed on 19s, and even then you could argue not a 'must have', though I'd say get it if you can. And don't get too hung up on Bose either - most have it, but it's crap to be frank.
