Not too excited about the mileage, but the specs and price is right.... unfortunately seller said I'm third in line right now and he just posted it two days ago...if everything checks out on the PPI I'll probably snag this one hopefully

No, not a good deal, but might be a great car.

I am finding manuals show up at Non Porsche dealer lots - as if the P dealers don't want to resell them.

German car values are based on miles. If a normal manual, with 25k miles sells for about $40ish. This one with 61k on the odometer, I would want a discount to $33 - $35k at the most.

I know its frustrating trying to find a good 981 S as the secret is out. They are nearly bulletproof as track cars, and for the money it is a very special car.

I'm not sure I agree with this. I've been looking for about 6 months and just bought a 2014 Cayman. I didn't see any Cayman S's, manual, with reasonable miles less than $45k. That car with 60,000+ miles seems like its priced about right to me.

25k mile Cayman S are selling closer to $50ish
And unfortunately 6 speed Cayman S are hard to find especially with the wheels I like with black leather interior with sports steering wheel...sports exhaust are almost impossible to find and the next lowest priced Cayman S is about $49,990 with PDK with about 30k miles.
Would love to get it down to that $33-$35k price, but that is what the lowest priced base models are going for right now on every site....maybe hoping to get him down to $37k though

I would assume that’s a $40k car if he just listed it and really has three buyers

This. If it's a clean car, I would expect it to sell ~40K with the miles it has. Clean low mileage 981S are into the 50s around here.

Looks like a good buy to me, assuming no hidden issues.

Are those dealer auctions? All Cayman S's?

My buddy bought a 14 Cayman S with 13k miles, manual chrono, exhaust, pasm, etc. for a bit under 50. The car was/is immaculate. For another 50k miles I would want 15-20k off. But that puts you below 987.1 territory. 2006-8 with just under 40k mi is a 25k car. Go up 15k to a 2014 with 60k. Food for thought.

I believe that to be a good deal. Mileage on that car isn't an issue and it's a lot of car for 40K.

Reasonably priced manuals go quick so you have to be ready to buy if you find one. There may be 3 buyers... but none have showed up with cash or ready to buy so don't listen o that column fodder. If you want it then tell him you'll show up today and make it an easy transaction for him.

Seems like a decent deal. As others have said, this is a great car for the money! Where else can you get a mid-engined car, this capable for that money?

JohnC88

Looks like a pretty sweet deal to me. I have also been looking for a similar car and this is right around the price range I have seen here in CA. Good luck!

981s with no suspension option (PASM or X73) ride very high. There's no suspension option listed. This car looks lower than with X73 (the lowest Porsche suspension option). This car is most likely sitting on aftermarket shocks and/or springs, and may ride like ****. Beware of that.

The original post indicates H&R springs. I missed it the first time too.
