If you don't care about the 911 status, the Cayman offers very similar on road performance as the 911 C2 at much less money.
And it don't take Adam Smith to work out that will happen to C2 prices when the great unwashed finally figure that out for themselves!

Most people are aware of this, but then its not as pretty as a 911 and its not a 911 . So the 911 brigade will never go to a cayman .

No, we're talking about new-entry buyers, who have to buy the old bangers for the 911 brigade to be able to get the latest facelift version! Will affect residuals.

some of those old bangers , like the 964 for instance is still well expensive IMO. So are 993's actually. Old cars that cost too much money IMO

TBF, they are, but they're also crossing into the realms of classic 911s. You will pay a lot for a good one (and can also pay a lot for a rebuilt wreck).

But then, a 2.7 Carrera RS buyer will see a 993 as an ugly half-breed that he'd have no interest in, even as cheap as it is!

It's the 996/7 that the Cayman will hit.
