Help me figure out if I dodged a bullet!

I saw a Cayman for sale two years ago that seemed too good to be true. Was it the one that got away, or did I dodge a bullet? Not a 986, I know, but thought I might get good answers here anyway.

Thanks, good to know. For now I have revived the old battery with a friend's charger and it seems good. But I do sometimes go 5-6 days between drives so I wonder if I should look into an AGM for my...

Thanks for the tip, but it turned out to be something under the passenger seat. Pulled the fuse for that and it stopped. Put the fuse back in, it started again, but then I hit the seat adjusters and...

Thanks! Will look into that.
But can you think of a reason that it would have been clicking on and off while the car is sitting, no key in the ignition?

Getting closer!

Okay, new information for anybody still following…

I'm pretty sure I'm on the trail of what drained the battery so quickly.

Convertible top weirdness

My 1999 base 986 did not have a convertible issue for my first 6 years with it. Last month the top stopped going up reliably.

Should I buy this Cayman?

2008 Cayman, 100K miles with a confusing history.

Slightly ridiculous ski rack

Getting my skis in my car to drive up to Wisconsin was a bit of a clown car act. I had to open both doors and put the skis all the way through the passenger door and sticking out the driver's door....
