I will keep a check on it to see if it's reduced as it's not selling at current price. Thanks appreciated. I would have thought that it would have sold pretty quickly at asking price had it been in good order. The pics are sketchy but the interior may have some wear. The person who viewed it but bought the other orange one was on the FB group if you wanted to ask him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes pics are not good interior look unloved but may clean up number plates are ratty but no big deal he told me it has chips to bonnet and bumper and was a bit sketchy about any additional work only said it had a service history. if you do know any more about the person who viewed it and his conclusion ? Be fantastic. With what I was told I made an offer to rectify some of the above but as said my offer obviously wasn't acceptable I never got an email back. At the time it never had an MOT but has since been done. appreciate if you know the viewers finds. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Porschaholic Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 The orange one on C&C at the moment was on Autotrader last month. I viewed it at the end of October, but ended up buying the other orange one that was on Autotrader (I know - two orange S Sports for sale at the same time!). I’m surprised to see this is still for sale. After I passed up on it, the seller said he had another interested buyer, and told me was sold. Maybe the sale fell through? It’s a nice car. It has Bose and heated seats in addition to the usual S-Sport stuff. There is a mark on the drivers seat base. Looks like a liquid spill. Maybe it’d clean up ok, or maybe it would be a costly re-trim? Other than that, it just looked like it needed a good detail. Number plate, leaves in the grills etc. If there were chips on the bonnet/wings they were tiny. The car drove lovely and had good service history from OPC and a specialist. No visible smoke from exhaust on cold start up (no more than normal), and no tapping noises from engine. Without a car lift, it’s not possible for me to say how things looked underneath. This will make a nice car for someone. The only reason I went with the other one, was because it was in A1 condition, and despite not having Bose or heated seats, I still had to pay more for it. It was tough to choose between them though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tough to choose between them though. Thanks for a hands on view. As said previously I was in conversation with owner but was sketchy about any additional work.He was honest about everything else about chips ect . With that in mind I made an offer to bring it up to scratch but obviously declined never got an email back. Are the tyre s out of date? I ask as it hasn't done much mileage in past MOTs it was out of MOT when I required but since been done. Its been up for sale a fair time now and with winter here can't see to many buyers, with all the above I think I made a decent bid subject to viewing and an inspection. But hey ho I will see if it's reduced in future and maybe try again. Thank you for your information appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff R Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Ginginho I took your advice to contact said owner of 408 my old car a few days ago heard nothing back. Not sure it's still around is my gut feeling I have contacted two dealers I actually know and one I don't they have been very kind even contacting people they sold too at least 4 owners. No ones heard anything about the car for about 2/1/2 years now so at a standstill now done all I can the vin given is not right. Cheers Cliff.

Porschaholic Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) How about a white one? I can't believe there are five white Cayman S Sports on Autotrader at the same time. None in white for months and then this! www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202203133522401 www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202203013061903 www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202203043191924 www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202203143543210 www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202203173659998 Edited March 18, 2022 by Porschaholic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff R Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Cheers Andy. Think a fair few are trying to cash in those prices they have shot up in the last 4 months by circa 5 k But obviously gotta try to sell for that. Ok if a White fan lol Thanks for the thought.

Just bumped into this after a long absence! I don't know if Cliff is still about but I've never seen mention of it in the Sport owners group on Facebook. How was she looking?
