Porsche Cayman

Launched for the 2006 model year, the Cayman began as the fixed-roof coupe version of the Boxster. Its mid-engine platform delivered exceptional balance and handling, immediately establishing it as a true driver's car that many enthusiasts felt could challenge the contemporary 911.

Collector interest is strongest for the high-performance, naturally aspirated flat-6 models. Limited production variants like the 987.2 Cayman R, the first 981 GT4, and the recent 718 GT4 RS are the most sought-after cars. The introduction of a turbocharged 4-cylinder in the 718 generation (2017-2019) only amplified the appeal of all 6-cylinder cars, including the later 718 GTS 4.0 models.

The current market is broad, with an average price of $72,277 across 1,864 transactions. Early 987 generation cars provide an accessible entry point to the brand, while limited-edition GT models consistently trade for significant premiums over their original sticker price, reflecting their strong appeal.

Prices range from under $20,000 for early, high-mileage examples to over $1,800,000 for exclusive, track-focused models.
