Test drove this...
The dealer lowered it with H&K springs and put Champion rims on it. They also have a black one just like it...
Felt pretty similar to my 996. The ride with the lowered springs didn't feel too stiff either.
Felt great in the corners of course...

yeah, they rape you on the wheels. i don't remember the exact price, but like $3k for rims, $1k for springs.
the car is an 06 with 4k miles. $65k original sticker. they listed it for $65k with the wheels and tires, but will take $61k (after lowballing me on a trade in)...
$61k is not CPO, $1500 more for CPO.
what's it worth?

I don't think you should pay more than $50k. This one should sell for less than $50k.

It's used and 07s are here. I would think you can buy a new one for around $60k.

For used, the price does not impress me, though...

I know the springs and install for $1200 isn't that bad, but still probably $500 overpriced.
I'm going to sell my car before seriously looking for a Cayman...but I don't think they will drop another $10k (to $50k) when they already started at $65k.
