So...I got permission to look at getting a ‘fun’ car for basic weekend duties, date night, etc. I’ve always liked the Boxter, and when they made the Cayman I really liked the hardtop styling.
I’d be looking at a 2009 to 2013, under $30k, less than 75K Miles. 6MT and three pedals, as God intended. Any color as long as it’s Blue, Gray, Silver or Red.
What do you think? I’ve never driven one, but I really want one for some reason.
The other option I’m considering is a similar price point BMW E92 335i. I had a 2009 M3, with the 4.0l V8. Damn that thing was a beast. Not that exciting until you got past 5,000RPM, then woah. A 335i seems like a better option, but I’m worried about the early engines and stories about the HP fuel pump issues.
So...Cayman.
Anyone own one?
Reliability? Or is it a money pit?
How about service? There’s a German garage down the street from me, I would probably get them to do a pre-purchase inspection.
I may mosey down to the local dealer and stare at the new ones soon.
The Wife just rolled her eyes when I mentioned the ‘P’ word. So I thought I’d ask here, in case there was some info available from you guys. Y’all gotta talk me out of this if I’m nuts.
