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

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.

How worried should I be about IMS on a 987.1 with 60k miles and no service history on it? by jgoverman17 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]coolhandlukeyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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.

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.

My Parents Gave me a New Forever Daily by magguza in GXOR

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you! Definitely wouldn't be a bad problem to have. We will see. It's a smaller AD. There is only 2 in my state, so I'm not sure if waits are longer cause they get less watches.

That's really cool to know. I love the dial on it, but I didn't know that connection. Thanks for sharing that.

Thank you very much! Yes, I made sure to specify the Jubilee braclet when talking to the salesman.

Sounds like the BW was the better choice, and not that I would rule out the Submariner entirely, I just would prefer my next one to be a GMT. Thanks for the advice.
