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.

    19-inch Porsche Cayman GT4-style forged wheels

    Pretty sure those are Brooksmotos on eBay “forged“ wheels.

    Not a bad wheel but also not really fully forged.

    On your question re: regarding value, not a huge fan of the 4 Cyl Turbo engines. Especially when they are real close in price to a 997.2 and 991. Long term the 911 will hold its value better and offer a more dynamic drive.

    I have a 997.2 C2 Manual and I rented a 718 Boxster S PDK a few years ago to rip through the canyons of Malibu. I also did the Porsche Experience in LA in a Cayman this summer.

    They are capable but a bit boring as far as driving dynamics. In a 911 you feel weight transfer more and the rear engine dynamic is fun. The Flat 6 makes a great sound and is smoother.
