Just in case somebody wants to jump in. They only have a couple of options, one of them heated seats, but these cars have full warranties, which is rare, as most leftover '08s have been put in 'demo' service, which reduces warranty. Those cars are not true demos, but by 'punching' them as such, Porsche subsidizes them, and dealers take advantage of that... at the detriment of eating on the warranty.

Anyway, place is Walter's Porsche in Riverside, CA. No association whatsoever; just trying to benefit members with research I've done already. If inappropriate for whatever reason, just delete it, and please accept my apologies mods. They had 14 just a few days ago, so they're flying. Good luck.

Thanks for the update. I'm in the market for a Cayman S and appreciate your posts!

To bad they're not listed on their website.

Not a problem - this is good information for other members to use.

this sounds like sales-speak ... only in that tongue is a $65K car 'similar' to the $40+K price range noted above.

I did a search on Stevens Creek's site and found some caymans ... some priced $60+K, some $30+K ... nothing in the search summary to indicate if the cars were base caymans or S. did you know that if the user sets his/her browser to a larger default font, some of your content could get clipped ... ?

I'm not inclined to reset my browser just to handle a particular dealer's site. web pages can be designed to handle browser variability.

[ Folks, if you're going to put up a web site, make it useful: make, model, an accurate list of options, price. skip the boilerplate common to all caymans ...

here's a sample from one of stevens creek not-40K specials:

Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, Head Curtain Air Bag, Cd Player, Bose Premium Sound, Rwd, Climate Control, Bucket Seats, F&r Side Air Bags, Alloy Wheels, Anti-lock Braking, Power Door Locks, Cruise Control, Memory Seats, Rear Spoiler, Dual Power Seats, Leather Heated Seats, Dual Front Air Bags, Steering Wheel Controls

there was more but my eyes were glazing over.

If I'm looking for a PASM Cayman S w/ Bi-Xenons and Bose, this site is hiding those options. rather than dig, I'll look elsewhere. ]

to summarize, I found it less than helpful, and no hint of lightly used or new S for $40K.

If a member posted this trying to be helpful, I'm not yelling at you - I just couldn't find anything like a CS in the $40K range - and have no patience w/ lousy seller web sites.

And if you're a dealer, your web site is putting you well behind the 8-ball.

Well, you look at the price for the '08 and subtract $20k- pretty simple

As to the rest, you can scrutinize the pics to get an idea, or pick up your phone and call them.

I'm not a dealer, just someone who bought a car from them and was quite satisfied with the whole process.
