Yep that's right 39,000 mile car goes through at $39,000

Considering the spec and the PCCBs the selling price seems pretty accurate.

Hmm, no sport chrono pkg, base steering wheel, base seats. I'd say the market is en fuego 🔥🔥🔥

Yes and BAT in general brings a premium.

Someone mentioned the spec: It has ceramic brakes, 19" wheels, Terracotta interior, premium package (which I have never seen one with out). As far as I can tell that's it. I get the brakes are a big ticket item, but it doesn't seem like enough to push it that high.

The interior is a love it or hate it. It looks great in these saturated pictures. In person, the ones I've seen do not impress me. I know, color is super personal. But the lighter interiors (terracotta included) just show more wear.

Congrats to the seller. I think that is all the money in the world for this car. Probably not bad for the rest of us too (should we selling).

Albeit the spec on this one is nice; I'd argue that is basically 987.2 S territory... or at least was 987.2 S territory earlier this year

I suppose the ceramic brakes would appeal to somebody who plans on tracking the car where where superpower brakes would be desired. But I read these are very expensive to maintain (replace).
So they are not on my list of wants for a roadster.

Extremely expensive ($5k per rotor). I've been told that it is pretty standard for owners to remove the ceramics, replace with steel, and re-add the ceramics when it comes time to sell.

I was just going to post that. The one guy I know that has ceramic brakes only autocrosses it, so he leaves the ceramic brakes on, but he did say if were to track it he'd put the steel rotors on.

I think the PCCB are just an all around superior brake, I know they cost boat loads of money but my dream Cayman would have them. Also regarding the cost I've heard that if properly looked after, mainly just making sure they don't get damaged by having rocks jammed in them they can last practically forever. I'm sure I've heard stories of people with 150,000 miles on them and they are still within Porsche's service tolerances. The look so much better too, the stock Cayman/Boxster brakes just look miniscule behind 19" wheels whereas the PCCB fills them out pretty well and are absoltely stuffed looking on 18's. Not having rusty rotors would be the icing on the cake.

I have 66k miles, 5 track days, and several autocross on my 987.1 Cayman S PCCB. The rotors still measure new and the pads have over 70% left. I have no doubt 200k miles would be obtainable on an original set. They look and drive as new.

I also have a 987.2 Cayman R which I wish had the PCCB. Nothing comes close to PCCB, not even dedicated race pads I swap on for the track. Even on brake-heavy tracks like COTA, the PCCB are amazing. The pedal feel and wicked stopping force just can't be matched. No brake dust is icing on the cake. On a dedicated race car, I'd swap in steel rotors, but only for cost savings.

Now is a good time to say that PCCB last A LOT longer then steel. They sound like they are worth the price in your experience. I'll add I have had no experience with the PCCB's, just what I have been told by previous owners who would scale more on the collector side then driver side (i.e. no track days, but do drive their cars).

EDIT: Cant you swap your 987.1 PCCB onto your CR?

I just bought an as new 07 Cayman S for 41K. Meteor gray with cocoa leather. 16k miles. Im elated. Looked for a long time.

NAMR6MT

Nice! Share pics when you can.

And before anyone chimes in saying that you paid too much, this is what the market dictates right now. Furthermore, good luck finding another vehicle that rewards its driver as much as the 987S, regardless of price point.

She’s high maintenance so be sure to have it serviced regularly and know when to replace your AOS, plugs/coils, water pump, drive belt and idler pulley.

Congrats on the find. I love a low miles used car. Enjoy the rides and she will still be a low or reasonable mile Cayman S when you go sell if you do
