Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 21, 2007 2:36 am) Pretty standard... as far as Caymans go.. Artic Silver, CD changer, PPA (the usual heated seats, radio upgrade) and auto climate control. I've had a few say I should have gone for the Cayman S.. but frankly, the extra 10K was daunting.. and the base Cayman has a whole lot of power. And I get to claim some "environmental" bragging rights with its 32 mpg on highway.   Some dealers had more CS's than standards.. others about 50/50. Even though I was only buying the standard (about the least expensive car on the lot), the sales staff treated me with respect, allocated as much time as I needed and seemed adequately fair. I mean, they still need to make a profit on the car.   That's about it.. thanks to some nice virtual hand-holding from Edmunds and some very good background information.. see you all down the road!

Replying to: donc6 (Jul 21, 2007 1:08 pm) I took delivery on a new 2007 Carmona Red Cayman S about a month and a half ago, the sand interior, 6 speed, 19 inch wheels, Bose surround, no CD changer (I am glad), no auto climate control (that I wish I had, the standard control takes some getting used to). Dealer was easy to work with, treated me well, gave me a very fair price. Of course I negotiated with 3 different dealerships and was flexible on color, did not want a lot of options, and told them I would take a unit in stock.   This is my first Porsche and I am absolutely wild about this car, so much fun to drive! Just got back from a drive from LA to Monterey and back to catch the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca, took almost entirely back roads. Must admit that I could not keep up with the sport bikes in the real twisty sections of Pacific Coast Highway 1. Already have about 2,300 miles on the car, and I do not drive it every day. I find that I don't use the sound system much because I enjoy listening to the engine so much.   So have fun with yours!
#31 of 122 Bought a Cayman, local dealer last sunday... by bibs1 Aug 14, 2007 (12:52 pm)
Well...thanks for all your responses...I walked into my local dealer and test drove the car I had been eyeing on the net. After test driving it along with my wife...we walked into the salesman's office and I asked what type of discount he could give me on the sticker price. He gave me 10 % off right away. So I went a thousand lower and he gave it to us. We both knew that the '08's were on their way and they had 9 '07's on their lot. So I bought it. It's Atlas grey and the cayman stick. Grey leather int. So far I love the car. Think this is it for me forever. Again thanks to all of you who gave me your experiences to go on.
#32 of 122 Any problems with the stroud? by shanemstr Aug 15, 2007 (6:13 pm)
I have a 2006 Cayman S and I recently had a problem with the rear left stroud. A friend informed me that it seems to happen to a lot of caymans. I lowered my car about 8 months ago with H&R springs, and the dealer doesn't want to be responsible for the repairs because I lower the car. Any comments. Thanks-   Shane Replies to this message: kyfdx (Aug 15, 2007 6:34 pm) vwguild1 (Aug 16, 2007 10:38 am) donc6 (Aug 17, 2007 9:55 am)

Replying to: shanemstr (Aug 15, 2007 6:13 pm) I think you are referring to the strut..   I'm not an expert on warranties, but if you modify the suspension, and then a related suspension part fails, then they are likely to deny coverage.   Good luck with it..

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 15, 2007 6:34 pm) Exactly...Porsche will not warranty work done by an aftermarket vendor...Nor will anyone else... Replies to this message: donc6 (Aug 17, 2007 9:55 am)

Replying to: vwguild1 (Aug 16, 2007 10:38 am) yep.. agree with the previous posts... also, if you have any other technical questions, try "www.caymanclub.net".. the folks at that site are really pretty solid technically..
#36 of 122 Registering your Cayman by kmans Aug 27, 2007 (3:56 am)
I always recommend registering your Cayman at www.caymanclub.net as well as joining PCA if you need technical information, warranty advice, or generally just about anything related to the Cayman. Replies to this message: unikly (Aug 31, 2007 8:19 pm)
