Unfortunately it has to be an auto due to other members of the house that can't drive MT. I was initially looking at the 987.2 variety solely because of the PDK but since this is intended to be a 4th car for just fun drives on the weekend I thought I'd save the $15-20K by getting a Tip car.

Reserve is off and may be a decent deal for someone not concerned with mileage/PDK.....2:50 to go

Agreed. Hold out for PDK. Get the smaller engine if you have to. Way less of a compromise having PDK if you have to have auto than an old slushbox.

New to the forum but long-time lurker of the site. We're looking at picking up a 4th car for fun weekend driving and while I've been looking for 981's or 996.2's I came across this very low mileage 987.1. The mileage and ownership history look good but based on recent sales for both 6MT and tiptronic this seems to be $5-6K too much. I'm sure part of that is due to being sold from a Porsche dealer but after sitting for more than 3 months I'd expect to see more movement on the price.

If this is the wrong location I can certainly post elsewhere but wanted to try in this topic first. Appreciate any feedback or thoughts from the group.

I'm looking at a couple of 2006 Cayman S with 70K miles on them. Both cars are clean and have some service records, but maybe not all. Am I good to proceed with buying and enjoying or am I inviting trouble? What are the chances I'm buying a car ready to need a lot of work? IMS has not been done on either. Basic maintenance only on both from what I can tell, but both in good condition and seem cared for. Thanks for your feedback.

Current owner is going to have to account for 1000 very expensive miles IMO.
Cayman R pricing is absurd to me, paying huge premium for a car that is really only an suspension upgrade away is nuts to me. Yeah I know the R has a few other tweaks, (aluminum door skins, no door pockets, no instrument hood, 10 undetectable hp, standard aero pack, BS wheels) but this was a 4K spread new. It makes no sense as a 30K spread used.

There's also the different psm/dme software the R has. And the doors are identical to the full aluminum doors/door panels off the GT3RS.
Imho it's very similar to the premium that's happening to the RS Americas. Similar changes and low numbers from the factory. (563 for the US)
There is a very rare one for sale right now with Dark Blue Metallic, PCCB and Carbon Buckets. I'll post it in the other thread.

Yes they were offered on the 987.2 S, I've never seen them on the 2.9L car, so I'm thinking they weren't offered there. Same for the bucket seats, they were a IIRC $2700 option on the Cayman S. LSD was also optional. Aero Kit was also available on the S.
