I passed through the Melbourne, Australia airport last week on my way back home via Singapore and London (two days of flying to save a client 5k).

Near the internaional departures area they had a base C on display. List price was $112k. That puts it at around $100k US. Yeesh! My sympathies to the Aussies.

There were two locals looking at it when I walked up to take a look (a colour blue I haven't seen before). They were trying to figure out how much trunk space it had and thought that there were rear seats hidden someplace. I couldn't resist being an obnoxious foreigner and pointed out that it was a mid engine and that there were, in fact, two storage areas. I also said that I'd hate to see how much a Cayman S cost if that base model, with few options carried a 112k sticker.

154K NOT including on road costs and dealer delivery fee.

I bought mine just before june 30. It was 159k on the road with a few options... I just feel like crying when i read how cheap caymans are...

I wish i lived in the US or UK...

Holy #$%^! That's pretty amazing, my sympathies to our Aussie brothers and sisters. You still have a hell of a car, though!

That is $137,000 in US Dollars. Wow, do we have it made or what!

But I heard that Porsche will be cutting their profit margins to the dealers in the US for 2009, which might mean people won't be getting the discounts as they were in the past - anyone else hear that?

The govt taxes which we pay are crazy. As soon as they see u interested in buying any car especially a car over $57,000. They bend you over.

i remember when i walked into a showroom in Brissie a few years ago and was shocked by the price tag and lack of service. Im glad i live where i live

But you need to put this in perspective, a mate of mine is looking at a 1998 Boxster 2.5 marked up at $65000 for a 10 year old car. Now i bet you would love to get that sort of price in the US for a 10 year old Boxster

a 10 year old boxter would be $10,000 here!

modestly optioned cayman s will cost over USD210k over here, in singapore....

You win. I thought we had it bad over here.

when it comes to this, i rather not win.....
haha....

Thailand is even more expensive than Singapore.
