Just my irrational thinking that I need it to 'feel' new. No logic to it at all really. Stumac62 you're buying an old car, maybe 12 years old, don't expect it to be like new, you'll be disappointed. Caymans get driven hard, so expect stone chipping on the front end, windscreen and roof, also the sills and those sticking out back wings will have gravel rash. Consider average mileage per year, so a 10 year old car should have approx 100k miles, so 60k is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally it looked overpriced at £42k but as prices have drifted up over the last 6 months, it now looks a more reasonable prospect. But still unsold. A bit odd, but then most of the Caymans on PH have been around for a few weeks now. Which one, the Black Edition? Of the 3 currently for sale, the one I link to has only appeared this week just gone. It is the only one with extended leather that has come on the market for well over two years. Or do you mean the FB group one?

Andyoz Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'm guessing this one? Seller may have shifted it earlier but the description just goes on and on...and that PCGB letter is a joke. They are only used for insurance purposes.. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/10567965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be other factors at play as to why that hasn't sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyoz Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I still find it weird that manual R's fetch higher prices than PDK's but that doesn't seem to be mirrored with the price of the S. I'm sure a year or so ago S manual's were the ones being snapped up. Has Covid changed the type of buyers now?

24057 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Chaps, I recently purchased an immaculate manual 987.2 example from Paragon, but I’m really thinking I should’ve gone the whole hog and bought a 981 GT4. I LOVE the 987.2, but I feel a need to own a GT4 before other life commitments take over. As such, if anyone is interested in my car, let me know. Condition is probably better than any other on the market and I’d rather it go to another enthusiast. It’s not listed anywhere currently as I’d always give people on here the first opportunity to snap it up. DM me for more info. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has 24,000 miles and has all of those 'features' that come with ownership and that weren't specc'd from new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the one I was interested in originally from Paragon, it’s such a looker! If I hadn’t just bought and had the cash, I would definitely be taking it off you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silver grilles put people off, but nobody thought to ask if Paragon would swap them to black… which they did 😂👍🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be interested. I have a deposit on a manual Black Edition that is getting inspected tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that it needs work and the owner is insistent that the price is firm, so not very confident that the sale is going to complete. Will PM you.

Tom the one from a few months ago that had the silver accents you then returned to black? it’s a shame as that would have been the perfect one for Matt being a manual but he missed out on it at the time to you if that’s the one then it is the nicest S I have seen in years, perhaps ever, and I’m sure it will sell within days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou Julian! Very kind words indeed… certainly great value in comparison to a GT4, but I have an itch that just needs scratching.
