The price jump to an S seems pretty big when I look at the adverts. If you are used to a base Boxster at 245 hp for the base Cayman it's a nice jump in power. The Cayman your looking at sounds like it might need a decent amount of work. The leaky RMS/IMS would worry me. If it's the IMS I believe you need to split the case to change it.

Whatever you do get a proper PPI by a local independent that knows these cars. Definitely have the oil filter cracked open.

Good luck. I've been eyeing Cayman's and a base 997 Carerra's myself.
