Cayman R Chat


Recommended Posts

No doubt unbeknown to you, the black R at 38K is a Cat S. A lot of chitter chatter on the PistonHeads forum a while back. I contacted the seller direct and he confirmed it’s a Cat S. The repairs looked well done but nevertheless, history and paperwork side of things, it’s Cat S. 

 

That car was last seen on eBay to at well under £30k last autumn.... (same seller/photos too)

Was this the one ? I noticed the Grey one as well.

Not much for sale on the R front currently? I have a friend looking for a manual R with Recaros. Preference is white, grey, silver, black..

 

Anyone know of anything coming up or considering selling?

 

Cheers, Ed.

 

PS. He might consider a well modded fast road S also..


this one ticks all the boxes

Hi Julian,

 

Thanks for the heads up..Said friend actually bought a 981 GTS soon after I posted this. He's loving it.. Ironically I might now be selling my modded S , ( having a run out in a quick Caterham soon to check I'm making the right decision )! It's a great spec and less than half the price of the cheapest R..

before jumping to that decision have you considered this option 

 

https://www.caterhamcars.com/en/hire

 

that would make you sure to buy or if only using occasionally, just hire on adHoc, and keep the Cayman.

Hi. It's a good point but I worry I'd be wanting to hire one every month or so! The car I'm out in on 18th is circa 220bhp so should give me a good feel for things..It could still be that I figure the Cayman provides enough of the thrills to stick with it but we'll see.. Thanks, Ed

For £50k I'd want PSE :)

 

This is all getting a bit mad now.

 

Only a matter of time until they start with a 6 in the price

Remember this one? This is the 3rd time its come up for, and sold on by different people, in less than a year?!

My friend just sent me that... quite a unique spec. Wrong wheels though, and some of the colour scheme is a bit much for me.

We have now entered the POA price band 

 

https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11589342

 

 

I generally take that to read..._how much can we extract from the first few potential buyers before settling on a price"

 

They don't want to advertise it at a high price then be seen to be cutting it.

I’d be very surprised if it sold for £51k, those that have been advertised even near that price have not sold for that price. 😉

 

Ashgoods nice 987 Spyder went quickly for near £50k this week. It just takes one lad who's made a big 5 figure sum on Crypto, etc to come wading...Strange times in indeed!!

 

EDIT: I see the 'Reserved' sign on Ashgoods Spyder is gone
