Is this your last chance to buy a cayman for a reasonable price? Lets be honest here, no one can predict the future and past price behavior is no guarantee for future price behavior.
Having said that, I think that cayman bottoming cards are strong. YoY price decreases are much smaller than the market average. Caymans decreased less when the market tanked, and recovered better when the market returned to more normal depreciation rates. On top of this comes that they still seem to be extremely popular, we saw that they are selling relatively quickly.

The other day, someone in a Porsche Taycan drove past me, and I didn’t hear a sound. It was really sad. I decided to buy a 981 Cayman S over the weekend. The look in my son’s face when he heard the sound of the flat 6 3.4 L for the first time, was priceless!! This is what driving a Porsche is all about. These beauties will hold their value.

@mattbrady999 Год назад

I have been watching 981 prices for almost 18 months, and this is the lowest they have been. Thanks for the consistent updates, I am ready for the winter season to shake things up more.

@Jay-xr3sb Год назад

Which country have you been observing?

@barbarusbloodshed6347 Год назад

Same here. Though it might have been 20 months for me at this point. First of all, the asking prices don't seem reliable at all right now. From what I'm hearing everything's selling much lower than advertised. And I think the next year will bring further price decreases. The effect from raised interest rates has only recently been factoring into the markets. I expect demand to decrease further over the next 12 to 18 months.

981s are amazingly priced right now. Especially GTS. I've driven almost every modern day Porsche outside of a 918 and 911R and 911S/T type of special one offs. I can say 981 GTS (for the money esp) is the most Porsche experience ever. It feels like what air cooled 911s used to be about (but still different in its unique way such as engine position). Like a spiritual successor

@Jay-xr3sb Год назад

But, the 981 S is really the same as the GTS and the base is plenty fast for the road...and the 987.2 is even cheaper and faster...etc

@Poorschedriver Год назад

@@Jay-xr3sb true the S is close, but the GTS adds many more driver-focused options. Add to that the extra radiator and different front fascia is enough to sway many people.

@Rockit181 Год назад

What do you prefer about the 981 GTS better than the 982 GTS 4.0?

@Poorschedriver Год назад

@@Rockit181 I've not driven a 982 GTS 4.0, but I have driven a 718 Spyder and I have a 981 GTS. The 4.0 obviously has more power (in GTS or Spyder trim), and it has more power everywhere. However in stock form, the engine doesn't have as much character and it really needs headers or an exhaust to wake it up. Also the 4.0 motors make this weird ticking noise at idle that drives me nuts. Outside of that much of the running gear between the cars is similar. I'd imagine the clutch and steering on the 982 GTS feels like the Spyder, which was ridiculously light compared to my 981 GTS, which is not a bad thing.

when I bought my 987.2 S in 2017 I told myself I wouldn't get attached to it. But I love the car and it may be worth keeping, even at 90k miles.

Been watching 981 (Boxster and Cayman) in Canada for the last year and they are already on the rise here. Last year there were a few '14 Caymans under $53k CAD country wide, now only ones which look dreadful in photos and sky high mileage. I'd say a 5-7k increase. Waiting for some money, and alas I may have missed the boat

@TheNewSchoolGamer 11 месяцев назад

I'm in the same boat as you, waiting for a bit more cash to hit the account before I go to my local Porsche dealer. Best of luck getting your 981!

Man… I really got lucky purchasing my 981 Cayman S years ago. I bought it with 2,000 miles for 63,000 in 2014…. It’s only lost about 23,000 in value over 9 years - amazing. Best car I’ve ever owned as well, aside from it’s value

@wpbarchitect1800 Год назад

Tangentially: over/under on how many years the 'all electric' sticks around? I'd give even odds on 10 for any given model. Why? Perhaps because those inside the major car makers know that all involved in this 'transition'--manufacturers, energy producers, policy makers, etc, that is, ALL--know full well it's a total impossibility/guaranteed failure for literally dozens of reasons, i.e.--sourcing battery raw materials (cost, scarcity, horrific miner working conditions, environmental disaster that such mining creates), grid infrastructure, energy capacity, energy cost, battery hazardous waste disposal, etc. etc.--and already have plans in place to 're-transition' back to internal combustion powered vehicles. Speaking hypothetically, and simply as entertainment, of course!

@barbarusbloodshed6347 Год назад

Nonsense. Macans and Cayennes are their bestsellers. Taycans are also pretty popular. The "Porsche people" make up only a very small part of the Porsche owners. Porsche has changed from a sports car brand into a "luxury brand". And that happened a while ago. That's not new. Nowadays Porsches are seen as luxury items, sports cars isn't the first thing most people think about when they hear "Porsche". Which is sad, but true. Anyway, Porsche going electric won't mean less sales. They'll find enough people who'd buy whatever car they make as long as the Porsche logo is on there. And to think that all ICE cars automatically become some kind of collector's item when EVs have taken over is nuts. When that day comes there's a whole new generation of buyers who have never driven an ICE car and see them as slow, primitive dinosaurs. That means the crowd interested in ICE cars is gonna shrink over time. Demand's gonna go down, not up.

@drunvert Год назад

@@barbarusbloodshed6347 I believe that's true for the SUVs and maybe the Taycans. But other than California, no other state is set up for EVs yet

@Jay-xr3sb Год назад

I don't think so, the transition will be harder than we thing. The cayman has always been in the 911 shadow, both owners and porsche have ensured that. There are so many 911's out there and they will always command a premium over the cayman. This model is accessible and a great car but even the gr86 with a 10 year guarantee appeals more than a 10-15 year old base cayman. Its the car you own for 2 summers or until your first kid arrives

@WFORacer Год назад

I agree based on my findings as well. I had a 981S Boxster until a moron ran a red light and hit me passenger side and insurance totaled 2 years ago. It took me almost 2 years searching to replace. I was able to source a one owner car , dealer serviced with 26K miles. The only thing it did not have was ass cooled seats. Try finding one with similar provenance, sport design steering wheel, 20” Carrera S wheels in platinum color, sport chrono, park assist front rear, Dynamic Light System, PDK, 14 way sport design seats, factory sport exhaust , X73 factory lowered suspension. Here in the United States a unicorn. As the car model goes full tree hugger I am happy with my 3.4 Porsche motor. As it cracks and pops nothing like it.

Never judge a body of people for the act of one. After 9/11 the media pushed hard don’t judge all Muslims for the acts of a few, but as a example it’s estimated 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide. If 18% are radicals that means we need to be vigilant concerning 180 to 300 million who want to destroy western civilization. In my country if one mentally unstable person does a so called mass shooting all gun owners are blamed. Keep in mind we own 400 million guns and trillions of rounds of ammunition for relatively low amount of mass shooters. So based on my first hand experience I will lump all Asian drivers as very poor.
