I've been reading up on Caymans the past month or so, including archives as a lot of members here moved up from an S2000 to a CS. I finally found one I like and wanted to run the deal by people to make sure it was, in fact, a good one.

The car is a 2006 CS with 12k miles and Certified Pre-Owned until April 2012. It has Xenon lights, Bose Surround, 18" Boxter wheels.

Purchase price would be $34k with 5.75% financing through Porsche.

The car is relatively close, which is also a plus since I can drive it home rather than having to pay for cross country shipping or something. Good deal or can I do better?

Pretty damn nice deal, I think! That's almost half off for a 3 year-old car with only 12K miles.

I'd say! What color combo is it? Unless its something like pansy pink or Liberace purple....you should be good to go.

It's midnight blue metallic with a tan interior. Normally I don't care for light interiors but it looks pretty classy in this car. Black is preferred and gray makes it look a bit cheap.

That's a very good deal. I would jump on it

Do it and don't look back.

Thanks for the quick responses. I actually talked him down another $500. So, pending credit approval, I'll be walking out at $33,500 with 5.75% before taxes.

After reading experiences from Poindexter, Chris S, etc. I'm excited to get into the logical successor to my beloved S2000.

Wow...if I still have a job at the end of the year I may look into a Cayman S as well. Those are crazy low prices for an awesome car.

I'll have to look up some of Poindexter's old posts to see what the downsides are to them.

Yeah it is scary to think of getting into a new(er) car these days, but I feel like the worst is behind us at this point. I also can't let myself live in fear...I'd miss out on so many great things if I did.

Dude, no brainer. $33.5k and a good finance rate with 3 years of bumper to bumper warranty. Get it and run the piss out of it enjoying every second.
