Having decided that I'm too old to drive my much loved 964 down to the South of France in 38 degree heat without Aircon [8|] I am considering my options and the Cayman R seems to fit the bill.
I have always owned what I believe to be the 'Thinking Man's' Porsche, a 944S2, 964 Carrera 2 and the next in line for me is a Cayman R.
I accept that an S would most probably give me everything I am looking for, but I would be worried about an S losing value, which I do not believe would be a problem with the R.
My budget is basically my car, which, if I wanted a pdk, would be enough, but manuals are bit more expensive. The ones I have seen for sale have quite low mileages and, I believe, a bit over my budget. One, in particular, looks right up my street, and has been for sale for quite a while, so maybe there is a deal to be had there.
I would be happy with a bit higher mileage if it meant a slightly cheaper car, my annual mileage tends to be in the range 1000 to 3000, so it's not going to increase much each year.
So, if anyone has a suitable car which they are planning to sell, knows of anything suitable for sale, or, indeed, hankers after a 964 C2 Coupe and would consider a swap, please do get in touch.
Any buying advice would, of course, be greatly appreciated.
