Id say go for it

I it is your cup of tea

Be aware of corroded radiators if its anything like the boxster,

Also id say its safe money wise and possibly even an investment as that 3.2 nugget of an engine has been replaced by a **** 2.5 turbo flat four :Suspiciou

I mean who would use such an engine .........

Corroded radiators would be the least of his worries, that's the engine best known for IMS/RMS bearing issues isn't it?

think that was the Gen 1 Cayman's,


Looking at them there is a massive difference in price between a 2007 gen 1 and 2008 gen 2

Yea,

It's those older ones im thinking of when it was a 3.2 in the BoxsterS

Yea the ims bearing was a common fault even in some 911's too,

Would be a nice car to pedal, if you get a good one. :thumb:
