I was the highest bidder of this particular 2018-porsche-718-cayman-s with a bid of $45250, which didn’t meet the reserve, but Cars & Bids reached out with a deal of $48500 + their 2.5% fees and I said the best I could do was $46200 + 2.5% fee considering they cut the fee from 4.5% to 2.5%, but it didn’t quite close the gap and the deal was off.
But the more I think about this the more I question myself should I just buy it at the suggested deal price? This Cayman S does have:
~ quite a bit mileage (I’m neutral about this as I thought I might get a better deal and I don’t have to cherish it as much considering it already has some mileage on it)
- a lot of modification, including exhaust
- meh color, I like exotic colors
- standard upholstery
+ Auto transmission (pls don’t judge me)
+ ventilated seats
+ southern owned
Is it worth reaching out again? It might have been sold anyway? Or do I need to calm down and wait lol.
It’s a nice looking car and honestly I wouldn’t consider the exhaust a negative. I have a 718 Boxster S and after being underwhelmed by the exhaust I changed it out as well (went with Soul although I originally had ordered an AWE and had to cancel due to the huge build time). The only thing I didn’t like in the car you are looking at was the RaceChip, I’m not a fan of these piggy back systems and fortunately the seller has disabled it. Otherwise as long as you are happy with the options this seems like a good price.
Excessively loud exhaust (which I think this might qualify as one) is a negative to my partner but yeah I agree with rest!
