Porsche Cayman
Born as the Boxster's coupe sibling, the Cayman's revered for its exceptional mid-engine balance and driver focus. Collector value is centered on high-performance, naturally aspirated flat-6 variants, with limited editions like the GT4 and Cayman R leading the market.
Porsche Cayman sold for a median of $49,982 over the last 12 months, based on 425 auction sales; the middle half sold between $30,500 and $100,000. 2,665 currently for sale.
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.
Buying Tips
For 987.1 models (2006-2008), investigate the status of the intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing, a known failure point on M97 engines.
Bore scoring is another potential issue on M97 engines; a pre-purchase inspection should include a borescope check.
Always get a DME report to check for engine over-revs, especially on manual cars, as it indicates how hard the car has been driven.
Inspect suspension components, tires, and brakes for heavy wear, as many Caymans are used on track.
A complete service history from a Porsche dealer or a known specialist is crucial to confirm proper maintenance.
Prices range from under $20,000 for early, high-mileage examples to over $1,800,000 for exclusive, track-focused models.
