Trade-in for a Cayman S. :)

Zsteve

I got 26K trade-in for mine but was the Touring and they kept all the mods. At first they wanted to give me about 23K and we argued for an hour and a half just on the trade in. They really wanted to sell that last 2010 vette on their lot that had been ther for a few months. So some arguing might help, even walk out too.

Yeah! I think I will ask for $23.5 as a trade-in.

I am alreay making a list of my mods. The only one unused is the EVO-R fog light.

The coils will definitely be sold. I was really disappointed that my car stayed at the dealer today. I could have used today and tomorrow as my 'uninstall' time/dates. But then again, I see the lost as a gain to be used as "cooling off" period.

It's across the board; while I was test driving the Porsches (gads, SWEET cars - they're just so right), the salesmen didn't really outright say that sales weren't up to snuff, but you could get the gist; especially after I frowned at the prices I'd pay new.

I don't want to jump the gun, but man....... the Cayman's gearbox is like heaven!

To all other readers, please note my thread is not meant to start a comparison. After all, I haven't given Porsche my John Hancock.

Was that a boring AT gearbox?

Cab, one of the reasons you're getting low balled on the offer price is the same reason vettes and caymans are suddenly reasonable.

It's the season. It's harder to move a sports car, especially RWD, in winter.

All the same, you only live once. If you can live with the huge financial ding and are happier with a porsche, then why not?

To go back to your questions you have the following options that I can't think about it:

1- CarMax (already mentioned)
2- Search KKB, Edmunds and NADA
3- Get the car apprasial from other dealers
4- Sell the car private

Other than that if you can wait, then wait for a good deal. You will ALWAYS lose more money on trade-in.

From what I've heard the Cayman is underpowered and pretty dull to drive around the track. If you want a porsche, then get a porsche, but know that it will not be as fun or as fast and servicing will cost a whole lot more. I've looked at them, but in the end then only reason I could see for getting one is the fact that it is a porsche.

Now, with PDK...thats a different story. Its a great transmission and it would be a lot of fun. Still...I don't know if its worth it in my opinion.

And um...since when is Tom Cruise a Billionaire? I highly doubt that...

For reference, I took my 2009 370z base/sport package with 10k miles to Carmax last month and they offered me $23k.

Do you have the Rays?

tettes

yes, the car is all stock.

Zeto

A little bit off topic what kind of sways do you have?

cab83_750

Stillen.

kenchan

man you guys are still having this discussion???

^This is true, BUT...

You'll pay $800 to service your Porsche while you'll pay $200 to service your Nissan. Money buys luxury, both in the car and out.

And I've been there with my Audis before. It's still just a shitty cup of coffee while you wait (labeled with Starbucks instead of Folgers). I just liked looking at S5s and R8s while I waited rather than Muranos and Maximas.
