These cars are old enough were dealers in general don't want them on their lot and just send them to auction. Add to this that sports cars in general are not in fashion and prices are finally dropping. It guys like us that appreciate these cars that keep the prices as high as they are. What 10 year old car is still worth this kind of money?

For between $15K-$25K, one can pick up a pristine example of the marque, MY06-MY08, in both base and "S" configuration.

My guess is that the factory dealers are offering such low trade-in values that private owners are willing to part with their Caymans at very reasonable prices. And I'm referring to excellent examples with full records that can pass a PPI without breaking a sweat.

The 986 is a GREAT car; I LOVE my Boxster, but after driving my wife's 987 Cayman a few times, I realize that the Cayman is not just a Boxster tintop.

Just sayin'..............
