Just bought a Gen II Cayman
Discussion
Here is the blurb of the advert - was on this site and the guy was a total professional and a pleasure to deal with:-
For sale is my low mileage Gen II Porsche Cayman S with an options list that makes other ‘fully loaded’ Caymans look bog standard. The original sales invoice (supplied) shows that the first private owner put over £22k worth of options on the car when he ordered it.
The car itself currently has Porsche warranty on until the end of November 2014 and had ‘major maintenance’ at its last service completed by Porsche Centre Exeter just 4,000 miles ago. The condition is typical of an enthusiast owned car with no bodywork damages (dings or scratches), un-marked wheels, spotless interior and a comprehensive service record (everything completed by Porsche, even tyre changes!). There’s tax until November 2014 and I’ll get my local Porsche Centre to put a fresh MOT on ready for the next owner. Of course, all MOT certificates and service invoices from new, come with the car.
For those who are particularly meticulous about buying used Porsche’s, I have a print-out of the cars ‘over-rev’ history that my local Porsche Centre supplied from earlier this year, last time it was in, which proves how well this car has been cared for.
The car is currently on the C6AYM cherished number plate. As it's quite personal to the car, I'll include it in the sale.

Seems like very strong money for a 2009 Cayman S, but at the same time the spec list is very impressive and you probably wouldn't come across one as well specced for some time.

Only 14k on the clock too its effectively a new car with the engine run in.Seems like very strong money for a 2009 Cayman S, but at the same time the spec list is very impressive and you probably wouldn't come across one as well specced for some time.
The spec is crazy too. I knew I was going to take it when I got in it with the owner who drove me about before I had a go!
Pick it up this week and cant wait!
Ill post some pics up. But the advert shows it in all its glory :-)

Looks a bit on the pricey side for a 2009 car, however are you ever going to find a better spec lower mileage car, I also love the wheels and the condition looks excellent in the pics, definitely a case of getting what you paid for , enjoy the car, cannot be many better caymans around!!

Totally agree. The research ive done shows its top end price wise. But I work in sales and just had to concede it is worth the money. The guy has gone official Porsche on everything and took such good care of it. Not a mark on it. All the updated maps and full digits for the sat nav. All 4 tyres recently replaced. MOT just done. Also warranty and tax till end of the year!
Im just looking forward to getting hold of it now!!!
