Default HC4S: Hot Caymans 4 Sale!

I follow some very active threads on the 997 and 991 forums where members post up there finds for interesting and well priced cars for sale (997's only, 991's only).

I can't find any similar thread for Caymans, so lets have one! Hopefully it will keep active enough to stay on the first page, or we can get it stickied by a moderator.

Post up Hot Caymans 4 Sale finds from craigslist, cargurus, pca.org, porsche car locator, autotrader, cars.com, etc.

Any generation Cayman or 718. No 'new' cars unless they are significantly discounted. Ideally with a link to the ad, VIN, asking price, mileage, etc as plain links go dead fairly quickly.

I'll post up one to start...

I looked at this car yesterday and again today, gorgeous car at what I think is a great price. I was going to pull the trigger, but ultimately did not as I'm just not jelling with the PDK, but if your considering a Cayman GTS PDK, this one is very nice!

2015 Cayman GTS
White over Black Alcantara/Leather
$95K original sticker
$72K Ask
7,500 miles
Clean Carfax
Full CPO.
Absolutely perfect (I've seen it in person)
For sale at Stevinson Imports, Colorado (link here)
Options include PDK, Full GTS Interior package, Adaptive Sport Seats, Painted Sport Techno's, Sport Suspension, etc. The GTS comes standard with sport chrono, sport exhaust, sport design steering wheel, and either PASM or the no-cost optional sport suspension.

I was really tempted by this... $72K seems like a great price for a flawless, highly optioned CGTS in the current market. I really thought hard about going for the pdk just to pick up this beauty, but ultimately decided to hold out for a manual, but this is an awesome find for someone looking for PDK!

No pictures up yet (I should have snapped one myself.)

The salesperson i was talking with was Craig Muthard if anyone is interested.

Very nice. It took me a while to get used to PDK, but no regrets.

Nice! White is not usually my first choice, but that is one fine looking car.

Note that the picture is NOT of the actual car, but another rennlist members car with the same color combo and painted sport techno wheels. Actual car does look mighty nice though. Not sure when they'll post up pictures.

Great thread. Thanks for starting. Can this thread be moved to "Stickies " so easier to locate?

OK guys, the only way to keep this thread alive is to post up some Hot Caymans for sale... I know the market is thin, but happy hunting!

If we show some steam, we can likely get the thread stickied...

I'll post the first:

https://jack-daniels.porschedealer.c...+Black+1197781

2015 CS with a 6-speed/PSE. No PASM/SC, but it's CPO and priced at 60k. Looks like they've had it for a while so maybe they'd be a bit more flexible on the price?

Thanks for posting! Let's keep 'em coming...

Nice car, and manual, but $60K does seem a bit strong when the original sticker was $77.5K and it's now 2 (almost 3) model years and 17K miles...

Very hard to find good deals on Caymans and 911's right now!

I wouldn't even consider a pdk car without sport chrono. On a manual, perhaps less of an issue. You lose the more aggressive throttle mapping and auto-blip downshifts in sport plus mode. I thought it would be gimmicky and I'd hate it, but I actually loved it, especially in concert with the sport exhaust.

2015 Porsche Cayman S
Black over Black partial leather
$77.5K original sticker
$60K Ask
15K miles
Clean Carfax
Full CPO

Start hunting, start posting! Are you looking for a manual or PDK car?

Nice to haves:
CPO
PSE
Chrono (for the dynamic mounts)
Sport seats
Sport steering wheel
Sounds a lot like my list... Though I'm happy with PASM, more mileage and don't really give a hoot about CPO.

Was hoping you were looking for a PDK instead of manual :-)
