Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Being in Canada will hurt it a bit on the sale, but I'd be guessing ~$45k at the most.

This one was optioned much better, but had higher mileage & was in Edmonton https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2007-porsche-911-carrera-4s-48/

So approx $60k CDN, that's not insane.  Clearly this is not the collectible generation.

Don't forget the import duty of 6.1% on that car.

It's originally a US car so no duty to go back as far as I know.

Porsche building a track near Toronto.

Building on the excitement following the recent openings of the Franciacorta and Tokyo locations, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd. announces its first and very own Porsche Experience Centre (PEC).

Good thing it’ll be more than a year before your Cayman gets here.  Plenty of time to save up.

Yes, that's my top $$ book-end. But I'm keeping my options open in the meantime.

This seems to be priced oddly low  :think:  It has the serious racing sport seats, it's a PDK (so a little less desirable), but has the proper sport plus package to get the most out of the PDK, looks like a full leather package as well. Not sure why it's priced about $10k lower than others out there? Accident perhaps? It is originally a US car by the speedometer.

Owner of this one put 10k USD into mechanical refreshing, only for the car to be caught outside at the shop by a freak hailstorm.

Lots of dimples and broken bits, automatic, but may go cheap:
