Re: cayman pricing
And assume the selling price is less than the advertised price.
I bought 2 Porsches from craigslist in a major metro area and in neither case did I pay anywhere near the KBB prices. I went to EBay looking only at sold cars and developed comparables and used them in negotiations along with PPI results and the amount of work I'd need to bring the car up to my standards.
There are so many variables...color, location, trans, options, mods, condition, year, records, critical repairs, time to major service, wheels, tires and condition/age, etc.
Shop hard, Caymans aren't your every use car so they are especially available and priced right when someone needs to sell.
