An older higher-mileage one you can find for much less. Go for '09 or later, avoid the IMSB issue.
At what point do you say "too cheap, must be a problem hiding in there"?

Lots of good buys, really depends on if you want a 987 or 981 and what your budget is. The base 981 is a good value now that some really like.
I've owned both a base 987.1 and a 981CS. The 981 is (obviously) much better and refined..
You could DD a Cayman easily if you are a single guy w/ no kids OR you dont need a lot of space to haul stuff. Gets a little tougher if you are married w/ a family. I fall into the 2nd category, but it's not my only car so no concern.. but I do enjoy driving it as much as I can :D

After 10 years of tracking a dedicated track car with a track support company, I’ve gone full circle, selling the 986S “Boxzilla” and purchased this dual street/track 14 CS. It’s fun having a few more ponies to help keep up with all the bigger hp cars nowadays. The trackside motorhome makes for a comfortable trackside experience also.

There plenty of room in the trunk and frunk for grocery shopping but perhaps not a full retard Costco shop. We took it to my kids parents weekend last week. Plenty of room for all of our stuff and the stuff we brought for our kids and the both of us. Bring kids? Fuck that. Buzzkills.
What are the good, if any, buys in the Cayman market?
Is a Cayman livable as a sole DD?
