Default Just purchased an 08 Cayman S

Hello everyone. This is my first Porsche and I just can't stop driving it. It's an 08 Cayman S with 47k miles on it. The only option is the preferred package and heated seats. Brand new set of Michelin tires. I paid $29500 plus taxes. Did I paid too much for it?

Very nice.
But then I am partial to Guards Red Caymans.....
I think you got a good deal. Values are different depending where you live in the country.

Now, you need to clear out that garage so you can park your baby inside....:>

Beautiful, congrats!

Nothing like jumping into Porsche ownership with mid engine perfection.

I think that many Cayman/Boxster owners were previously 994 owners
I was times 3.

Thank you. I just checked the oil level by just turn the ignition on and the oil is all the way to the top. Should I drain some since it's above the full level? The dealer told me they just changed the oil.
