Still in the Porsche family and just really reminds me of our 914's but with AC and Airbags. Seller wants 13.5k
Found a deal I just can't seem to pass on. I looked at and have driven the vaunted and often maligned 987.1. Didn't hear any rattles on start up and no smoke either. Listen for a rattling water pump and couldn't tell. So details: 2006 987.1 Cayman S-Lapis Blue-Manual Trans. Here is the kicker......salvage title. I have the Carfax. Last owner bought it for 17.5 from salvage drove it for 2 years and then passed away unfortunately. I don't have the service records. Going to have a PPI done this Friday to make a decision. Any advice besides the boroscope and computer fault checks? Definitely the front rotors need to be replaced and the pads. Rears look okay. Steering feels a little "squishy" and it may be just worn struts but not sure until I get it up on the rack. Thanks to all the mid engined owners here....in Advance. Rob |

You know times have changed when you see Boxsters and Caymans as daily drivers with 914's being the weekend car of choice...love it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I had a Boxster S 15 years ago...miss it..great car. Cayman S would be fun but just no room right now. All of these cars are fine if properly cared for and maintained by reputable shops. Go get it Rob!!! Oscar |
