Article comments for First Drive: 2007 Porsche Cayman - Our weekend thrash of the new standard/regular/base/normal 2007 Porsche Cayman on German back roads and autobahns instantly revealed that this S-less wünder retains much of the inherent goodness and finely honed driving behavior of the original high-performance, 2-seat, midengine/rear-drive Cayman S coupe.

I bought a Cayman off the lot 3-weeks ago. The only options I really wish I had would be the 18" wheels and sport steering wheel. I'm still breaking it in, but the car is a blast. Reminds me a lot of my '95 Miata R-package, except it feels carved out of billet steel. Obviously, I to was much more concerned with something "fantastically well-balanced and capable..." over brute power.

Would you be willing to share what kind of lease deal you got and what the money factor/lease factor was? We're getting ready to make a deal tomorrow night.

Apologize for my delay in responding-I have not checked back in awhile. 2yr/20K lease
 
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%
 
I broke a golden rule and purchased this car strictly on the amount down and monthly. Even though I know they padded the document and perhaps the license, I thought it to be the best I could ever get.
 
Good luck!

Thanks for the info. We've signed for a 10,000/4 yr. lease but we're not taking delivery until about Xmas.
 
MSRP: $54,635
Acq Fee: $795
Gross Cap: $?
Cap Cost Reduction: $ 0
Residual: 59%
License: $85
Doc Prep: $250
Monthly including Tax: $650
Drive-off with 1st month: $1,730
MF: 0.00346% or 8.3%
 
Sounds like a good deal. We had issues trying to get any local Porsche dealers to follow up, even though we have a 2003 Boxster (that would include our previous salesman). After writing a letter, we got the franchise owner involved and we feel he's made us a fair offer, although obviously certain items are subject to change. We too were geared towards the monthly payment. I absolutely love my Boxster, so I'm sure this car will be great fun too. There aren't that many Boxsters around here, so there certainly will be less Caymans. Thanks for your input!

Looks like you got a great deal too, and verified that my doc and license fees were indeed padded. But I belive my purchase price was straight invoice, so they had to pad it somewhere. I know I got the straight MF from Porsche Finance.
 
Happy motoring!
