Was out with a buddy looking for cars.

Almost traded my S in for a 2010 Porsche Cayman S. Only has 2,000 miles on it and the dealership was willing to let it for for $32k off the lot!

Im having trouble finding reasons not to do it. Quick someone help!!

Can you afford to maintian a 2010 Porsche?

beandip

I could afford to maintain a 2014 Ferrari if I wanted too..


Youre right, upkeep is something I was overlooking. With my S, its Basics but Ive never owned a Porsche so I dont know what else I would need to do. Just because I can afford it, isn't a good enough reason.

Ok, I went for a long drive with the top down... Im better now.

id like to have a cayman R...but I don't think id give up the S to get one, nor would I care too much about maintenance and repairs for the porsche

I did take a test drive and it was awesome! However, when I went for the drive in my S, I realized I'd miss the convertible too much. I live in Arizona, and not having a convertible would be like not staying warm in Antarctica.

Boots

yea, I test drove one when they first came out...the sales guy at Porsche pissed me off though because he treated me like a was a piece of **** because of how I looked...then he ran the credit check and saw my bank account and then quickly started kissing my ***...another reason I wouldn't buy one...at least not from that dealership

i just went through a similar thing. Got a very serious offer for my car and was sorely tempted. Then went for a blast with the roof down.

I'll keep it for now.

Little late to post on this, but need two post to become member!!
I traded mine for a 2010 Camaro SS with a crap load of mods including a Borla exhaust.
I drove it for 3 months but missed the fun of the S2000 so sold it and back in a 2005 S.
The only thing I miss about the SS is the exhuast sound.

That's an insane deal. Jump on it, I sold a base cayman a few months ago with 14k on it for $33,900 and the guy flew from Jersey to Dallas to buy it lol.

and the porsche is only 32k??? why not just get the porsche and keep you s2k..problem solved!

Sounds like BS, retail is $47k. No one in the right mind gonna sell it for $32 unless its salvage or maybe none-S or both.
