Jochen Klinsmann Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Hi Matt I might be selling if anyone interested? Ultra Rare Cayman S Sport Limited Edition, 59 of 700 world wide but I might be wrong on that one, she has extended leather throughout, PASM, all the toys, sports button sharpens throttle etc etc. maintained by a very well known and respected Porsche Specialist, lovingly looked after...... I think if it were me, buying a Cayman and I had Circa 24-25K I would look to spend say £15k and bank the rest for mods or upgrades? Thought I would list the spec, sorry if it looks long winded guys The car has Bose Stereo System, PASM Button- Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Sports Button to enhance throttle response and exhaust and dampers, heated and Electric Seats, dash mounted chrono lap timer, Full leather interior – Dashboard And Door Cards, Porsche Short Shift Gear Selector, Alcantara Steering Wheel, and Gear Lever and Hand Brake, Auto Dim Mirrors, Rain Sensor, CD Compartment, Rear Parking Sensors, Auto Air Con. Red Tail Lights, Rear Windscreen Wiper. Sports Exposed Instrument Dials in Metallic Finish, Piano Black Dashboard Trim, and Gear Lever Surround. Red Seatbelts. Porsche PCM 2 Communication Management System, Porsche phone preparation, Windscreen Antenna, Auto Speed Control ( Cruise ), European Nav DVD, Nav & Routeback Trace For the PCM interior Edited May 7, 2021 by Jochen Klinsmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochen Klinsmann Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) good point, just needs a clean to bring it back to life, alacantara cleaner works a treat, I do it every year looks a new again after, unlike leather. Thank you for the comment she is beautiful, sounds awesome to like an F1 car, I will put some pics of the alcantara when cleaned up in the above post Edited May 7, 2021 by Jochen Klinsmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s one or two more just gone live but spec nowhere near. It’s a waiting game now! Punchy cost https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11638220 It has the leather dash, and if Red interiors is a favourite colour then this could be the one....but very pricy, yet unique.

That is properly ludicrous, the spec isn't even that high, no heated seats, no PSE, and not even particularly low mileage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian987 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I suspect it is the colour combo being so rare as I haven’t seen any like that before, certainly on an S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygo Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I looked at the red gear shift and thought "Knob".. Last time I rode in a car with red upholstery it was on a fairground. Yikes! Edited May 7, 2021 by andygo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid £25k on a P/ex for my 2017 7.5 R (Golf..) where the allowance was £19,500. My October 2010 Cayman S has heated seats, sports exhaust, 19 inch classic wheels,sports steering wheel, paddles, PDK, 20,000 mile and full service history. Thought that was about right and We Buya Any Car and the VW pricing website both value the car at £25k after 7 months. R's are a load more money considering there was only about £5k price differential when new AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochen Klinsmann Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) A quick strole down memory lane........ Personally speaking, it concerns me when I see cars with lower than average daily driver miles, seen a couple lately it just makes me wonder why they arn't being driven, Porsche's hate standing around and sitting in Garages, things start to seize up........which reminds me I purchased a rare car in Germany quite a few years ago now, the owner very proudly showed me around his garage, and up the corner under a plush dust sheet was the car I was going to buy......20,000 miles a dealer service history....an absolute peach....never been driven in the rain, and the interior smelled like a new car.....all the nuts and bolts in the engine bay were shiny new.....you could just tell it really hadn't been driven....shipped her home...to have a plethora of parts fail due to seizure......and sitting around to long.......Funnily enough he wanted to get rid of the car for yet another Porsche...... After the above debacle, I now prefer cars with mid range miles and higher, as I know they have been used and kept active......and not a garage queen....

Matt_Chaps Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Thanks for all the comments guys, just catching up. Jochen – I’ll reply to you in a DM. So I went to go and test drive both a manual and a PDK today. Both 2.9s, base models and low specs. The manual felt more exhilarating all the way and of course way more involved. For some reason, I also felt more connected to the car - better feedback, more nimble, more planted?! It was strange. The PDK by contrast was a different experience. A bit more subdued and I was a bit disappointed by it sadly. It didn’t have sports chrono or flappy paddles, which I’m guessing make a big difference. It was smooth...and lacked the jolt me back into the headrest or grin inducing downshifts I was hoping for. So I think I’m going for a manual all the way. Of course, if a perfect spec PDK came along if probs still test drive it. I was pleasantly surprised by the stock exhaust sound and satisfaction, esp at full chat in the upper Rev range! And obviously the first drive put a huge grin on my face, bloody loved it. The car was so planted and felt like it had so much grip to give, even on a wet day. You can’t beat that Porsche experience. I can’t wait to find the right one, it felt really surreal for me. This has been a pipe dream for ten years! The manual only had 26000 miles on the clock and, to your point, the fact or had been sitting on a garage going nowhere was actually a warning bell for me. But then what do I know! It had also had its most recent two/three services at local garages (not Indy Porsche specialists) so not a perfect S/H. Anyway, long reply I know but I will keep on the lookout and let you know if I end up jumping toward one! I also own a motoring YouTube channel so have been thinking of detailing my buying process as a first timer series. If I do, I’ll def ping links so you can tell me how wrong I got it haha. Also sat in a 981 today......don’t think so. Bring on the one 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyoz Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 The 2.9 is a non DFI and from what I hear (mates got one) can actually sound better than the 3.4, at least in terms of induction noise. Don't discount s good 2.9 as it's an interesting engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
