Is it a Gen1 or Gen2 Cayman S ???

Are you in the USA? I know model years are different in different countries and I don't know if the vin decoders account for that. I can check a few more things to.morrow if you haven't found out by then.

The referenced vehicle is a MY08 Porsche Cayman (987.1) manufactured in Finland in 08/2007.

Originally sold in Schenectady, NY in 09/2008. I don't know how it ever made it over to the continent.

As noted, the engine is an M97 engine, with the big IMS bearing, which has a very small failure rate.

The MY09 models (987.2) sport the 9A1 engine, which doesn't incorporate an IMS bearing, but sometimes suffer from other problems, such as carbon build up and high pressure fuel pump issues.

The vehicle you are looking at is well optioned, with Sports Chrono, 19" wheels, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, and BOSE sound system.

If the car checks out after a PPI, and if the mileage is not too high, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

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