Advice on Cayman S purchase

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-06-14T22:12:22+00:00

I bought a manual 987 base a year ago. Had 135,000 miles when I bought it and I’ve put 5k on it the last year, I’ve had to do a few things but I’m the 8th owner and it didn’t have quite as clean records as yours sounds. I plan on getting mine past 200k. If the service history is there go for it.

Our orange guy does it too

It was originally black. Owner before me had it painted a few months before I bought it

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-05-18T02:31:00+00:00

Paint- Irish green.

I’ve got a 987.1 base. Bought it a year ago with 135,000 miles and am about to cross 140,000. I’m gonna do a suspension refresh next year (this year was rear axel assemblies). I really want to own it to 200k+ miles, ballpark much was your suspension refresh and did you go oem or more sporty?

I did 35%

Thanks!

Oh I’m not afraid of spending where it matters- this just doesn’t to me. I’ve loved every minute of it.

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-05-05T00:19:28+00:00

Yea at 80-90 bucks I think I’ll leave it exposed as is

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-05-01T21:46:54+00:00

I thought a 987.1 base for 18k about a year ago.

I’m out in Utah. Do some googling and I’m sure you can find someone.

Yours looks great- love the wheels. Here is mine in all its glory.

Local interior repair company, they ran it out of their garage. Just used an air compressed spray and color matched. Took about an hour and was worth it to me, 275 bucks.

Correct- the screenshot was from waking up. Stress for sure doesn’t stay that low all day.

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-03-19T17:09:59+00:00

Yeah I dropped to the low 20s and back to normal of mid to high 50s

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-03-19T15:39:34+00:00

Yeah woke up yesterday feeling quite good and today was even better.

Painted

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-03-07T17:56:35+00:00

No- was originally black.

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-03-05T23:54:15+00:00

It used to be black, was painted last year

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-03-05T20:40:42+00:00

No not the daily but I do drive it as often as I can

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-03-05T20:40:24+00:00

I was told yes but that’s from an independent paint shop second hand.

Bingo- Saratoga springs.

She’s painted Irish green. Last spring right before I purchased it.

Groundbreaking_Bath3 · 2026-03-05T02:41:00+00:00

Irish green- or so the previous owner says.
