2012 PorscheCayman S Black Edition For Sale

I've had it for a year. Outstanding handling and acceleration. Gets a huge amount of compliments--everyone thinks that it is a top of the line Porsche. The mid-engine design gives it great balance. With Michelin Pilot Alpin winter tires it did great in the snow and with the Pilot Sports it handles like a cup car. Can't recommend it enough as a great value in a sports car. Low maintenance--you change the oil once a year and there are no other service requirements until you hit 100,000 miles. Plenty of room to carry two sets of golf clubs and two suitcases for a vacation trip.

I have had a few cars including 2 Audi S4's (1 with 340hp) and this is the best car I have ever had. It is awesome in the corners with enough power for me and the engine screams above 6,000 rpm. I is also fairly practical and holds quite a bit of luggage or cargo. It is very comfortable on long trips and people comment on it everywhere. It is a beautiful, curvy car and you feel special every time you drive it.

This is my second Cayman. I owned a 2008 Cayman S 6 speed and now this 2008 Cayman base 5 speed. I sold my last Cayman S due to concerns with bore scoring which could happen on the 3.4L motor. From what I've read this issue did not effect the 2.7L motor. When I located my base Cayman I was a little worried I would not be as happy with it coming out of an S model with the 295HP 3.4L as compared to the 245HP 2.7L. I must say I am not one bit dissatisfied with this 2.7 base model! It is just as fun as my S model was when running it up through the RPM's. These flat 6's love the higher RPM range and sing a sound of beauty when you get them above 4K RPM. They are meant to be driven and you can feel how happy they are when you push them. A true drivers car! The handling is superb and I just can't think of a better value for the money out there today. You can't go wrong with a base 2.7 with the manual transmission. No bore score issues and the 2008 model years also come with the double row IMS bearing which is pretty solid and the failure rates are extremely low as compared to the older 987 engines with the single row bearing. If you're considering getting into a Porsche at a decent price, this car is anything but a "poor man's Porsche." It is a spectacular car that is an absolute blast to drive! In my opinion, the 2.7 is the best bang for the buck. You won't be disappointed.
