I agree with this 100% John. After the long winding thread we had on the 44 forum about 911's the only conclusion I came to is to wait until the cayman S is down to £20K and then move on to one of those. Sadly for Cayman S owners but great for us is that we don't need to wait to long. I found a Cayman S being sold privately for £26K a few weeks back. By spring I have little doubt that the £20K Cayman S will have already become a reality.ORIGINAL: John Sims I feel like a bit of a vulture sitting on a post waiting. IMHO the Cayman is the only real "Sports Car" that Porsche make these days. I don't like convertibles but am delighted (from an entirely mersonary point of view) that Boxsters can be had for under £10K. Sorry guys but the Cayman is sure to follow. Like the 944 was in its day, The Cayman has been stifled by Porsche marketing people so it doesn't overshadow their squashed Beetle derivatives. As such it has fantastic potential for tuners to unlock the Caymans true performance. With money as it is there is a probability that some who might have bought a Beetle will buy a Cayman making subsequent 2nd had stock more plentiful. Unfortunately this will hit Cayman residuals even more. The cheaper the Cayman is the less afraid people will be of modifying them. Equally, those that might have looked at "upgrading" to a Beetle may now consider other options in unlocking their Caymans true potential to a point which it will out perform its big brother (and therefore most cars on the road/track today). Higher demand for tuning products will bring down prices and speed development. Club racers are already looking round for cheap Caymans and racing and tracking cars is a great way to find out what works and what doesn't.
Asking prices and achieved prices taken into consideration and your £20K Kman will be available this side of Christmas IMO [&o]ORIGINAL: Neil Haughey Sadly for Cayman S owners but great for us is that we don't need to wait to long.

....... and it was an open top car too!!ORIGINAL: Buddy The first Porsche road car to wear the badge was mid engined ( Old No 1 ) and is usually on show in the factory museum, so rear engines came later and were due to Ferdinand wanting to put a rear seat into the car his son Ferry had built so it can be said that it was a trend which came later.

Duck! Low flying pigs........ORIGINAL: dereksharpuk Hence second hand Cayman prices will rise []
If they become too rare servicing and parts will rocket [ORIGINAL: dereksharpuk Of course, have you considered that with prices this low, no one, but no one will trade in for a new one. Hence Porsche will sell hardly any. Hence they will become rare. Hence second hand Cayman prices will rise []
