I am waiting a few years until the 2009 Cayman is in my price range for that very reason.

one caveat on these engines, the 987.2 Cayman is missing some important upgrades that were made to the 3.8 Carrera (and 3.6 by default) engine blocks. No love for the mid-engines.
So you might want to be looking at LOW mileage 987.2 Caymans and Boxsters. Pick your 987.1 vs. 987.2 poison. Me, I like the one with lowest cost to address/upgrade.
Porsche is always coming up with new ways to screw anyone not buying GT3 which is not to say the GT3 doesn't have some pricey issues looming as well.
