Popular Post Neal King Posted February 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi All Thanks for allowing me in. I am about to retire from The Fire Service after 30+ years aged 52 and am looking to treat myself to a Porsche Cayman. So on near to learn from the real people that know. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougle_turbo Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi Neal, Bear in mind the age of these cars, unless it's had a refresh you will likely need some bits doing to it over the next couple of years (think lower control arm, track rods etc). It won't need everything but factor in a control arm or two, and other bits for the future. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi Neal, A 2012 should not need too much doing to it, as long as the mileage is genuine and the service history backs this up. The service intervals are every 2 years, but if its had an oil change each year, that's even better. Just check tyres, brakes and clutch. It may need new brakes soon, also good quality tyres are preferable, any chinese 'ditch-finder' brands are a sign of penny pinching. Although at 2012 you are on the edge of the 981 model, maybe a better long term bet than a 987. Cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
