Default Why are used 2014 Caymans so expensive?

I've been trying to find a used 2014 Cayman/Cayman S in a decent color with manual and almost no options, and it seems most cars out there are used and still about the same cost as I could get a new one for. Yes, sometimes they have options, but sometimes they have surprisingly few options. Or do I just need to be patient? What's a good price on a car with 15k or fewer miles and almost no options? Edit: is Bluetooth iPhone calls an option? That's one of the few "must have" features to me.

I saw a black cayman 6 speed at STG (used car dealer in ontario,CA) for $48k. They've had the car for 3 months so they're keen on dealing. Only has 4000+ miles. Well optioned with some minor paint scuffs on the bumper and stuff. It might be worth a look

I was hoping for cheaper and fewer options. Does Porsche just not make a lot of low option cars?

The 981 Chassis is f-ing phenomenal, and people STILL aren't buying them compared to the 911, despite it being a relative bargain. There simply isn't enough supply for their values to come down yet.

I have a 2014 used Cayman S pdk with no options available....

I had a similar thread started on this. I leased a 2015 cayman s with considerable options loaded. I also looked at 2014 but they were very expensive so went with leasing new.

It's a 30 month lease and surprisingly the buyout option at the end of the lease is 52k which is very good imo.

I may end up buying it as I love the car.

On thing I noted is I see at least dozens of 911s before I can see a 981. This is one of the motivation factors for me to buy cayman as the car is very unique and awesome!

My car actually went back to dealer.

Rusnak Westlake.

It's kinda a unicorn among 981 S gen.

X73, manual, PSE and not much else.

Default 2014 prices?

How much depreciation should a 2014 Cayman S pdk have by now?
Very low miles, owner got a gt4 instead.

What should a car that listed for $79k be worth now?
