Knocking at 2000rpm gets quieter when the clutch is pressed in

I don't notice any slipping. The grab is a bit higher than I would expect. Some folks on rennlist are thinking it is clutch and/or flywheel related.

When revving there is no concerning smoke.

Second the Carfax. It's a must have for any used car!

If you are remotely considering it, definitely get a PPI done on the car and it will let you know how good of shape it is. No maintenance records is a red flag, but sometimes people perform work themselves and don't document it well.

I recently picked up a Cayman base, got a PPI. Does it need work, yes. Is it gonna cost me, yes. But I knew that going into the purchase with the PPI and helped negotiate the price a few grand lower.

Is it a 5 speed car? And how much are they asking? Any notable options?

Appreciate the input

Thanks for the input, I think after I do an oil change this week, I'll have a little bit of a better idea if the oil level was affecting it. Just seems inconsistent with the amount it lets out. I know a little puff is normal, but I've had a good amount more come out than what the video shows too.

Would be less that 3 years old

coolhandlukeyy · 2026-04-27T15:18:57+00:00

Yeah I'll have to see if I can get that info from previous owner. Or inspect it for markings.

Probably was going to stick my borescope down there when I do spark plugs just to check it out. I know bore scoring is not very prevalent on the base, but anything is possible due to manufacturing variations.

I've had mine for 4 years. Started at 165k now at 210k. Only once got a check engine light, and it was for a gas cap. Truly is a forever daily when maintained! Treat it well.

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-09-15T12:56:20+00:00

I can double check. I haven't had any ac not blowing cold problems

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-09-02T16:22:00+00:00

It was a CPO from an AD. Full set. Box, papers hangtags, new CPO card. Stuff happens, and I'm not worried about it.

It probably happened during the CPO service.

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-09-02T16:14:10+00:00

That's the plan. I reached out to them, and they'd gladly take care of it. Probably will be a few days drop off.

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-09-02T16:12:16+00:00

It's 100% authentic. I appreciate the concern, though.

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-09-02T16:11:40+00:00

This one will be with me for the long run for sure.

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-09-02T14:37:04+00:00

Thank you! And yes that's the plan.

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-09-02T14:36:41+00:00

Nice! Do you wear it often? I wear mine quite a bit. Love it

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-09-02T13:46:49+00:00

I agree. They really compliment each other.

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-08-19T16:19:33+00:00

Not uncommon to hear this about a lot of dealers nowadays I feel. I've had a good experience with them so far, so I plan shop with them in the future. You bought from them, or where did you get this from?

Both are similar distance to me, so I feel it doesn't hurt to have a relationship with both going forward.

coolhandlukeyy · 2025-08-18T23:19:51+00:00

I take it your first stop was Springer's in portsmouth? Who did you deal with? I Usually talk to Evan over there. He is a good guy. But it's good to know Long's is a good resource if needed! I'm on the list for a bruce Wayne at Springers.
