richieb Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'd check what general maintainence costs will be. I know dealer maintainence on 911's are crazy high. Possibly find good service at a private Porsche garage, much like MKP who specializes in Hondas. On the other hand if one can afford a Porsche maintainence costs may not be an issue. That is one damn good looking machine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hey Carl ... tell Amy that Ann Wilson of Heart took up the guitar while home from school due to a case Mono. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Yes I know maintenance will be high and no I'm not rich. The Cayman has 30,000 miles on it and will be a weekend drive, garage kept, and should last a good while without much maintenance. I'm 67 and have had a lot of family and friends who didn't make it to my age so if I want to have a toy to enjoy for a bit then why not. LF wants me to have it as well so I guess that's it 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 ^^^^^ I can relate and hear you 'Heel. I'm just a few years younger, retired and decided whether I needed it or not ( of course I didn't Need it) wanted and bought a car with just shy of 500hp. Some expert tuning put it over 500 and yeah, it's fun as shitt. Good on you, go get it!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Yeah ... whether or not I “need” something is rarely a factor. Whether I “want” something is far more important to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Rich all my friends want me to get an American V8 like a Mustang or Camaro and I have looked at them. I just love the lines on Porsches 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick read and I see it does 0-60 in a little less than 6 seconds and price starts at $53,000. Not good...not bad. I must admit I have a problem with one of the activist groups that Ford sponsors in a big way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love the lines on Porsches New or vintage? Taste b taste, mine is a '69 Camaro built new with today's drive train and suspension (original handling suxd) and I will say that I have never had the pleasure of wheeling any of the overseas cars with the only exception being an RX-7 (13B???) in the late '80s on a road trip from CA -TX-CA . I would suspect that the drive is really, really nice but the sound man, the SOUND! Rented a newer Camaro once, couldn't see out of that darn thing blind spots everywhere. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Yeah that's what I read Mike. Visibility is a big problem in the Camaro. The S and 2S makes big hp though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
