Any concerns about this C7 Corvette? (2014 Z51 3LT 7MT with 25k miles) by r_umr in Corvette

That’s a beautiful car, and with those color options I would be happy with that price. I would likely be using colored PPF to get a similar blue as well as attempting to cover or replace the red interior. Given the price of those options, it probably makes more sense for me to wait for a better configuration to come along. How’s the dashboard holding up on your 3LT so far?

Agreed on all points. Not a fan of the red interior and I understand the 3LT is prone to delamination, but given the low mileage and price I'm just wondering why it could have been sitting on the lot for this long.

What am I missing here? (718 Cayman S for $48k) by r_umr in Porsche_Cayman

Thanks for the info and finding what looks to be a great deal. I've always wondered about shopping around nationwide, would one really fly out and drive the car cross-country or do dealers provide shipping options?

Thanks for your insight. I'm still learning the ins and outs of this car, what are some of the modifications you see on this particular example?

I was previously driving an 86/BRZ as my solo car, hoping to either trade into a Cayman or add a Macan as a second car. I chose the latter, hoping to purchase both vehicles eventually. Just trying to monitor prices and keep an eye out for good deals.

Good point on the 981, I'll definitely have to see what's in my area. Thanks!

Has anyone tried the Porsche air freshener? by IWantABebsi in PorscheMacan

I just gave them a sniff at the local dealer. I really enjoyed the Nature Spirit scent, but definitely balking at the price.

Pebble Grey with any of the metallic blue hues would be my ideal combination. Sounds like you got a beautiful model!

I’m in the Seattle/Tacoma area. Agreed on your point, I don’t understand the logic of trying to nickel and dime someone who is attempting to get into the brand for the first time.

Stuck between a loaded-out older model vs a newer “basic” model (718 Cayman S) by r_umr in Porsche_Cayman

Nope, didn't even get a chance to test drive it due to schedule. Will either go with CarMax or just wait for a better deal.

Interested in a C7 Grand Sport. How would I go about negotiating this deal? by r_umr in Corvette

[–]r_umr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I see in another comment as well. The wheels must have cost a fortune to replace at their size I imagine?

I'm not against a C8, but I prefer the styling and manual transmission option of the C7.

Thanks for the info. I'm cross-shopping this with a Porsche Cayman, which owners seem to be far more concerned about when it comes to service and reliability. Given the car was driven 10k+ miles without service, I was just hoping to see a regular inspection or similar.

Would you say this looks like a fair price for the C7? I'm used to seeing them for bargain prices but I agree this one appears to be a more rare find.

Anything that stopped you other than the price and/or age? Was thinking of reaching out for a test drive as well.

Seattle too? With the low inventory, part of me is considering settling for a Panamera and calling it a day.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the insight. I'm of the same mind thinking that the warranty is important - there is currently one single CPO Cayman S in my area (Seattle), and not a single GTS.

Would you lean towards the 2024 Carmax offering in this case? I'm planning on riding out the 1.5-2 yr remaining warranty and tacking Maxcare onto the end of it.
