Porsche Cayman 987
The Pros And Cons Of Buying A Used Porsche Boxster/Cayman (987)
While the Type 987 is a desired sports car on the used market, there are a few things to note before jumping into one
Porsche’s Boxster/ Cayman models are, often, regarded as the budget-friendly alternative to the 911. It used to be the one you get when you can’t or don’t want to spend 911 money. This isn’t necessarily the case anymore since the Cayman/ Boxster models have their fair share of high-performance versions that borrow tech straight from the 911. The 987-generation of the mid-engine Porsche (2004-2010) is particularly sought-after on the used market, and there are a couple of reasons for that.
2007 Porsche Cayman (987.1)
Introduced for the 2007 model year as the Coupe sibling of the 987 Boxster, Porsche's Cayman offers more structural rigidity, a roomier cargo trunk, and improved aerodynamics, making it more practical than its roadster sibling.
Slotting in below the more potent Cayman S, launched in 2006, Porsche introduced a detuned entry-level base Cayman in 2007. This sleek, mid-engined coupe shared its platform and many components with the Boxster Roadster but featured a fixed roof and hatchback body style. It was powered by a 2.7-liter boxer-six engine producing 245 horsepower and 201 pound-feet of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph sprint in 5.8 seconds with the manual transmission.
