Default FS: Pristine 2014 Cayman - low mileage, loads of fun!

Brilliant, showroom condition. My growing family makes this beauty impractical for me, but a great buy for you. Accident free, beautiful Rhodium Silver Metallic colour with black interior. PDK, Infotainment with Bose, Navigation, Premium package, 19" Cayman S wheels and much more. Includes professionally installed xpel protection on front hood and sides. Asking $68k, or best reasonable offer.

Here is the link with photos and further info. I have also posted in the Classified section of this forum.

Bump. This really a great car! I priced a new Cayman with exactly the same equipment and it comes in at $77,500 (including destination charge) + taxes.

$10,500 depreciation for three model years of depreciation is a bad deal regardless of condition or mileage. If you want to sell you should revise the asking price.

I agree and the new 718 has 300 bhp vice the '14 at 265 bhp, is three years newer and comes with a full warranty. You'd have to be a bit nuts to buy this over a new one and BTW I'd buy a new Cayman S with 350 bhp at $7K over this asking price.

Thx for all the feedback. Price reduced to $64k.

I accept that the asking price may have been a little aggressive, but I also said I was open to reasonable offers. And btw, when you add the additional HST on a new one, its closer to a $12k difference (add a $1,700 xpel job, and its $14k). And agree no comparison to a 911 or maybe even an S, but you need to want a base Cayman, and then this is a great car. I specifically opted for the base model because I preferred it over the S, not because it was cheaper (budget was not a factor). For me, its definitely the old saying about it being a lot more fun to push the base hard, rather than ease up on the S, particularly in a busy urban centre.

To each his/her own though. Like I said, if anyone wants a terrific, low mileage base Cayman, this is a great car. You simply can't have this much driving fun in any other car for a low $60's price point. Happy to discuss price for a serious buyer.

True. I drop my 3 kids off at school every day in my 911. The fact that this doesn't leave room for my wife is an added bonus.

I bought the car from a Porsche dealer in the US (Porsche of Conshohocken in Pennsylvania) and it had 3000 miles on it (job transfer situation). So I paid for it in US dollars. US MSRP at the time would have been around US$65k, I think. In fact, Christien Ledroit (well known on this site) picked up the car for me and made all the import arrangements.
