That's a classy color.  I have always like the Cayman.  Doesn't list if it had the IMS bearing replaced though, so you'd have to factor that into the purchase price.

While I'm not a fan of the all black look, this 2015 Cayman GTS, at $59,000 asking looks interesting.

Probably won't last long.
I love it when a plan comes together.

More seriously, and still budget-friendly at 18k$, located in Montreal's most expensive suburb:

968 is about as underdog as it currently gets in modern-era Porsches, and we all know what happens to underdog Porsches...

Yeah, I feel like 968s are currently undervalued. I was looking at ones that had sold on BaT recently and was surprised at the values. Only downside is finding manual coupes can be tough since most sold were Tiptronic convertibles.

It's a fair asking price for this one, the mileage is up there enough, it has been repainted in the past... it needs some love still.

Needs a paint correction to get rid of the swirl marks, but that's a nice car.  Now that I'm done with car payments on our current rides, that's intriguing!

Price can't be beat. Too bad it's a PDK.

And now for something a little different Porsche wise… Honda engine swapped 997… local as well. Never worry about IMS again:)

So last year I rented a 2019 Boxster GTS for a day. Fantastic car, yes even with the turbo 4. Anyway, I booked a Cayman for next week to try it out and was hoping to get the base, because its the one that’s actually attainable for me.

Well just confirm the model I’m getting: 2021 Cayman GTS 4.0 . I’m not unhappy.

I fully expect this experience to light a fire under your butt to pull a trigger on one.

Prepare for many ear-gasms.  That engine is sensational. 

Do you know if it'll be stick or PDK?

I didn’t ask, but I’m assuming PDK.

Also, they just confirmed…Carmine red! One of my favourite colours…I might as well just get my briefcase full of cash ready lol
