Default New Guy Looking For His First Porsche

Hey guys! I'm Nick I'm 27 years old and I currently drive an Evo X but I'm ready for my first Porsche. My grandfather who raised me was a big Porsche guy. In fact he visited the factory several times in the 80s. He had a turbo look in the 80s and then an RS America he ordered in 1993. He bought a 996 turbo in 04 and he had an allocation for a GT3 in 2015 when he, unfortunately, passed away. He had several new ferraris and other cars over the years but he really was a Porsche man. I'm on the hunt for a low mileage cayman r with three pedals...the bucket seats are a plus but not a deal breaker.

I had a 2006 Cayman S (6 sp) as my first Porsche (I was sane age as you) and I couldnt recommend it more. Oversized go cart, with decent amount of practicality and refinement for daily driving. I just recently loved over to a 991 C4 as I needed AWD for the PNW. What gen are you looking for?

Hello and Welcome Nick.

CR's are out there but not common so search often and wide and you'll find it.

Good luck,


Eddie
