#287 of 295 Re: 2008 Cayman S rear rattling noise [kmans] by dhsieh9 Jul 06, 2009 (2:31 pm)
Replying to: kmans (Jul 06, 2009 1:55 pm) Yes, It was me who contacted PCNA directly. The rep showed up at the local dealer. No, there wasn't any recall I am aware of nor was I notified by PCNA on my 2008 Cayman S model. I just checked http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/recallsearch.cfm and didn't find any outstanding recall for the 2008 Cayman S. Replies to this message: clembo (Jul 07, 2009 1:34 am)

Replying to: dhsieh9 (Jul 06, 2009 2:31 pm) My Cayman has been rattle free but a friend of mine had one with the noise that you are describing. He had the rear rubber bushings or stops replaced that are on the bottom of the rear hatch. His car was a 2006, I'm surprised that this hasn't been addressed yet.
#289 of 295 cayman 08 vs 09 please help by joliver2 Jul 20, 2009 (9:04 am)
I am currently being offered a lease on an 08 Cayman and I am trying to decide between an 08 with Titronic transmission and 09 manual.   Does anyone know what a reasonable rate would be for a lease on a brand new 08 at this point?   Are there any differences between the 08 and 09?   WHat are the yearly manitenance costs for a cayman?   Thank you in advance for all your help.

Replying to: joliver2 (Jul 20, 2009 9:04 am) I own an 08' Cayman S. The followings are my recommendation:   Are there any differences between the 08 and 09? >> 2 major changes come into my understanding: 09' has PDK (replacing Tiptronic) & DFI. I have not heard of any outstanding issues with the new PDK. However, there are serious complaints about DFI where carbon deposit clogged the injector in 09's DFI. You may want to investifate it further.    WHat are the yearly manitenance costs for a cayman? >> The routine service charged by my local Porsche dealer is outrageous. I have only about 4500 miles on my Cayman S so far. I changed the oil myself at the end of the 1st year with 2000 miles. The total cost was around $80 ( 8 botlles of Mobile 1 W40 synthetic + Porsche oil filter). If I should take it to dealers, they quoted me with something like $750 for the 1st year service (with additional visual inspection & computer calibration, etc., ). But, I seriourly doubt if those items are warranted when it has only 2k miles on it. Nonetheless, I may consider to do it at dealer's at the end of my 2nd year though.

#291 of 295 Considering a 2006 Cayman S by medsca Jul 22, 2009 (10:18 am)
It has been a goal of mine to purchase a porsche. I have finally gotten to the point in my life that I can afford the luxury of another part time vehicle. I am writing for opinion as well as:   What would be the appropriate cost? What options should I not be able to live without? do i purchase via aucton, dealer( Certified), or third party? Is there going to be a major repair cost certian mileage on this vehicle?   Thank you in advance for your consideration.
#292 of 295 Resources by kmans Jul 22, 2009 (10:33 am)
There are many resources here to help you find out pricing, but then to get actual pricing that dealers are giving to buyers you probably need to visit an internet forum. If you search you might find one called Planet Porsche that will have many examples of what people are paying, where they are getting their Porsches from and even what they cost to repair.   I know that 2006 Cayman S's can be had in the 30's now.

#294 of 295 Re: cayman 2 size question [jcp1958] by buffyjames Jul 27, 2009 (11:34 am)
Replying to: jcp1958 (Sep 22, 2005 10:37 am) It will carry the clubs, but one of the bags has to be put on the back shelf behind the seats. The drivers have to be carried out of the bags, but after all of this, the answer is that it will fit. I advise sitting in one and trying it on for size. They are very comfortable seats. I have the optional all leather interior with electric seats.

Replying to: dhsieh9 (Jul 20, 2009 10:02 am) I thought that the synthetic oil that you buy is not the same one that Porsche officially recommends and is used by the authorized Porsche service dealerships?
