Cayman

 

Anyone know if the dealers are negotiating the Cayman?

 

at crystal cove this weekend...

one of the owners said he paid 76 for a cayman S with a couple options
wheels, breaks....

 

76k for 295 HP? I am not too excited about it anymore!

 

Come on. At a dealer here in Arlington the DAY after the official sale date (they had "revealings" Thursday and Friday...test drives at some dealerships as well) most of the Caymans on the lot stickered at 63 - 65K. Yes you can option a Cayman up to ~80K, but that's not what they are priced at on the lot.

Now think about it, could you deal on a S2000 back in 99? I sawn one in November 99 in a showroom that was 42K NO negotiating. At least the Caymans aren't marked up (don't think Porsche NA allows markup).

 

Coxster?

 

No LSD? ouch

 

brakes

 

Agreed. Even at the base price (which is all you really need) I think the car is overpriced for the performance you get.
