I've been thinking about getting a 06 or 07 Cayman. Would like an S but a base is not out of the question.

I drove an 07 base last night with 84K miles. asking price $19.8K I noticed the following:

-starter bushing screeched when started (just like my 150K '02 Box)
-underbelly plastic looked like my 150K mile Box (kind of rough, some broken pieces)
-slight oil wetness directly under RMS area (just like my Box)
- engine had a mild ticking noise at idle. Noise got quite a bit louder when I listened at the oil filler with cap removed. (my Box doesn't do that.....)
- seemed stiffer than than my Box. Shifter was tight....otherwise was very much like driving my car.
- factory sport exhaust not very impressive. (I love my inexpensive Beluga exhaust)
- cup holder cover very loose, otherwise interior looks really nice. (much nicer than my car)

Owner says all maintenance has been done by local P dealer or local independent in Tulsa. Has original clutch.

This is the first Cayman I've driven. Maybe I should drive an S.....

Or maybe I should think about upgraded suspension and sport seats for my old '02 and forgetting about a Cayman for now.....

My non-updated IMS car always has a clean filter autopsy and is still faster than I am when it comes to driver eds...
