I define a "flagship" as a model that possesses the best that a company has to offer (finest quality parts, latest technology, highest level of performance, highest price/exclusivity, etc.)
 
I didn't know the Carerra GT is no longer in production, so I stand corrected. It was the flagship.

That seems a little steep. If you look on the base Cayman thread, it seems like myself and another chap got better deals. Mine's a 2yr/20K, so its not a straight comparison, but I did get significantly more off of MSRP. I copied my info below from the referenced thread:
 
MSRP: $54,350
Gross Cap: $47,650
Cap Cost Reduction: $ 2,174
Residual: $40,0185.70
License: $359
Doc Prep: $790 (!)
Monthly before Tax: $498.82
Drive-off with 1st month: $4,038
MF: I belive it works out to about 7.5%

Hi bgsntth,
 
Thank you the information you provided. What really is Cap Cost Reduction? Do dealers disclose that information?
 
And by the way, what dealership did you get you car from?

I've never leased, so am by no means knowledgeable about what is a good or not good deal. However, in today's Wall Street Journal, there is an advertisement by Princeton Porsche for a new base Cayman lease:
 
MSRP $50,965
39 month, 10k miles per year ($.30 per mile over)
Intitial total out of pocket due $4,639
Payments: $399/month
 
By my simple math, if you amortized 100% of the entire additional cost of your options $4,800 ($123/month) over the lease term and added 2,000 miles a year $0.30 to the payment ($50/month) and added the difference in intial payment to the lease ($651 = 17/month), it would appear that the equivalent 39 month lease from Princeton on the car you want at 12k miles per year and with a $3998 initial payment would only be about $589 per month.
 
$4,000 up front and $737 for a base Caymen seems like an extraordinary amount. I know it's not a fair comparison, but I could sell my fully loaded 2005 911S Cabriolet at 15 months and 11.5k miles for about $10-12k less than I paid for it (new, cash sale). I did get a great discount up front ($10k), but the current discounts on a Cayman S are even greater in percentage terms.

Cap Cost reduction is the "money down".

Picture Request by rmdds

I am close to pulling the trigger on a CS in meteor grey with 19'sports design rims. It's a combo I don't often see on the road. Would anyone have shots of their C/CS in meteor grey? Can you send it to me? The small colour sample in the showroom makes it difficult to visualize the car in the colour.
Much appreciate it. Thanks!

Have you looked in the Cayman gallery at:

Oh wait I see your question there as well,you might ask it in the forums instead to see if you get a response. Meteor is a new color for 07 so not as many pics yet.

Cayman-S: Alarm Question by amstuart
Feb 05, 2007 (3:42 pm)
Reply
Hi:
 
Just took my 2006 Cayman-S in for a 15K mile service. I forgot to mention to the service department that my car alarm, once activated, goes off intermitently, several times each day. Typically, I get to work in the morning, activate the car alarm after exiting the vehicle, and within the hour the car alarm goes off. I can see my car from my office window: nothing and no one has touched the car. Is this an easy troubleshoot, or are intermittent alarm issues hit and miss? I don't want to sit and wait for several hours at the Dealer if the prospect of finding the fault is slight.
 
Thanks.
 
Adam
