Picked up the Cayman
[QUOTE=PcrRacer,May 8 2006, 05:13 PM] I decided on the options I wanted, which was influenced by a very good article on the best options/colours for highest re-sale.
I then talked to a no of dealers on available new cars, which included cancellation cars, which were nearest to my spec.
My car became available mid-april, and after negotiating price/finance I collected early last week.
Cars ordered to spec have a 3-4 month delivery time, however I know of 6 new cars available at dealers now, which if you're prepared to compromise on options will get you into a car in a couple of weeks.
On the finance side, I negotiated a deal which means my monthly repayment for the Cayman is only

I'm interested in the wait times as well. How long did both of you guys have to wait, and did either of you use Porsche finance's Lease Purchase scheme?
Interesting about the wait times. The irony being that if the OPC told me I could have had the car in 6 weeks not 6 months I'd have a Cayman now.

Well, there's the smaller engine and no LSD for starters. Given the engine is in the right place, if they'd bothered to do it properly it would have murdered the 911. As posted above, it handles better than a 911 without the LSD. With it, and a bigger engine, Porsche might finally have acheieved what they've been trying to do for 40 years with the 911
It would probably have put them out of business too.

The only other remaining retro-fit 911 bit is the double-wishbone front end, in place of the Boxster's McPherson struts.
That really would nail the 911's coffin shut.

Thanks mate, I'll have a look and see what's out there and get some test drives in the next few weeks.
