M135i to Cayman?
Discussion
Afternoon all!
I currently am driving a BMW M135i that I have had for 10 months, my plan is to sell the BMW in the Autumn and save over the winter for a Cayman. I plan on a budget of £30k. With depreciation do you think that the latest Cayman model would be within reach by February/March time?
Test drove a 2011 model on Sunday but think it best to save for something I really want!
Any comments gratefully received!
Thanks,
Chris

I drove both the cars for a day before deciding on the Cayman, but would say it was a tough call between the two, but admittedly that was taking cost in to the equation too. Bang for buck the M135i is probably one of the best new cars out there at the moment. Every other car in the class is woefully dull to drive.
Keep an eye on the classifieds, with the introduction of the new GTS model, this may have some impact on the other models, particularly the S if the budget can stretch. You mention condition is important, so something in the dealer network with a warranty is probably the safest bet.

I will be keeping my eyes peeled and no doubt creep the budget up to £31k!
When I have looked at jumping into a newer Cayman base model, the price difference was quite big.
I suspect the list prices went up across all models and factor in PDK for most of them, they have moved up. I purchased my manual Cayman for around £30k and it was 6 months old a few years ago. Would not pick up the new model for the same price and age now.
