they don't have 911 glued to the back
Because it's the "My wife won't let me get a 911" Most men don't want to be seen in one. Aren't they like $70k for 300hp?
The 07 Cayman S has 290 HP and a high mileage one can be had for under 20k
Pre-facelift first gens are still at (a very small) risk of IMS bearing failure, and they don't carry the same cred as a 911.
Great cars though.
That's far from a good deal. Don't they have that bearing issue?
you'll spend that much in repairs desu. a good rule for these kinds of cars is can you afford it brand new? no? then you probably can't afford it used either
To my knowledge the IMS issue got fixed in 2005, when the first caymans came out. But don't quote me on that, I'll go do some research
That's when they started using stronger bearings again, although the actual design flaw got fixed around 2009 with the all new engine family.
Just check the oil for metal particles with every oil change and when in doubt, get that bearing swapped out. Sadly it's an awful lot of work on 987s to do that, way more than how simple it was on the 986.
07 corvette is also $20k
guess what. cars lose value
