This is an early-2006-build Cayman S, black over black, in fabulous condition, with 21,104 mostly freeway and interstate miles, of these some 10,000 miles being from one Vermont-Rocky Mountains-Vermont cross country trip on high speed limited access thoroughfares.


I am the second owner, having purchased the car from Frost Cadillac in Boston in March 2007 with 3220 miles on the odometer. Sale when new was made by Herb Chambers Porsche in Boston. Apart from the cross-country trip, this vehicle has spent its life in MA and VT and has never seen a winter road, thus no exposure to salt or other agents. Garaged every night of its life, and kept in winter storage from late October to late April every year. 

This automobile has had zero moments of mechanical trouble during my ownership of it.

I wanted a Cayman S with the best basic package for non-track driving, and I found that it this vehicle:
  • 6-speed manual
  • 18" wheels
  • Michelin Pilot Sport 235/40 ZR18's front, 265/40 ZR18's rear (current set has 3000 miles on it)
  • Sport steering wheel
  • Bi-xenon headlights
I didn't want any extraneous (and ridiculously pricey) Porsche options that add nothing to the type of driving experience I enjoy, so this car doesn't have any of these. The proper transmission, wheel geometry, standard-tune suspension, sport steering wheel and top-line headlights were all I needed. The hydraulic power steering in this model, now superseded by an electric system and no longer available in new Caymans, is in my opinion the finest Porsche steering ever offered.

Car will be thoroughly detailed prior to delivery to purchaser.

This is nothing short of an outstanding driver's car, and one of the best handling automobiles at ANY price point, ever. This is a true bargain for the sports car enthusiast.

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.

Porsche tops J.D. Power quality index as Korean brands soar

Thu, Jun 18 2015

While complaints about infotainment systems remain a thorn in the side of automakers for J.D. Power's annual Initial Quality Study, there's a lot to celebrate this year. The average number of problems reported per 100 vehicles fell to 112 in 2015 – a three-percent improvement compared to 116 in 2014. The results of this year's survey are based on the responses of over 84,000 people about problems within the first 90 days of buying or leasing a 2015 model-year vehicle. For the third consecutive year, Porsche tops the rankings with an average of 80 problems per 100 vehicles. Although, that's slightly more than the 74 the German sportscar maker scored in 2014. "While the Japanese automakers continue to make improvements, we're seeing other brands, most notably Korean makes, really accelerating the rate of improvement," Renee Stephens, vice president of US automotive quality at J.D. Power, said in the study's release. In fact, Kia ranks as one of the biggest movers in this year's list. The Korean brand jumped to second place from seventh last year. The company had an average of 86 problems per 100 vehicles, a 20-point improvement. Third place went to Jaguar with an average of 93 problems reported, versus last year's second-place finish with 87 of them. Fourth place was Hyundai, and fifth-place Infiniti also earned a gold star for improvement with 97 issues per 100 vehicles – 31-points better than last year. Fiat still anchored the bottom of the list. However, its 161 problems this year is a lot better than the 206 in 2014. Ranked by nationality, Korean brands (Hyundai and Kia) are now leading the industry in initial quality with an average of 90 problems reported per 100 vehicles. According to J.D. Power, this is the first time Europe's figure beat Japan with 113 and 114 issues, respectively. The American brands also averaged 114. Whereas General Motors dominated last year, the segment awards are spread out in 2015. GM, Hyundai, Nissan, and Volkswagen Group are all tied with four models each earning prizes. For more information, you can also see all of the graphs, here. J.D.

Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.
