Roll-call: How much did you pay for your Cayman S?
I think we need more data in Sales & Leasing. A lot of the main questions in this forum is "is this a good deal" and with a good database we can compare and see what type of deals are out there.
If you're a Cayman S owner please participate.
1) New/Used? What year? If used, how many miles were on the car? (eg. Used 2006 CS with 8000 miles)
2) What was MSRP?
3) How much did you pay for the car?
4) Which big options do you have (xenon, 19", pasm, navi, sc, etc.)?
PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.

Used
2006 Cayman S with 750 miles
MSRP? Not sure
Paid $40,000.00
Options
Tiptronic
Bi Xenon headlamps
6 Disc cd changer
Navi Pasm
Rear Wiper
Not really an option but was nice 84 month/100K extended warranty
This was an unusual case because the owner had a serious medical condition that forced him to sale so please don't assume the prices are dropping.

No doubt. And that's why he was so eager to share!
Publishing what one paid for a car is a little like publishing one's credit rating. It speaks to one's bargaining skills and general market wherewithal. Many of us are more willing to share exact numbers for, e.g., what we pay for car insurance, because there's such dramatic regional variation and we're not stuck with the premium, going forward, the way we're stuck with whatever we paid for the car.
I'll volunteer that I paid mid-to-upper 40's. How's that for approximate?

Sorry sir. Seems like no ones wants to participate anyways.
I think it has nothing to do with lack of participation and everything to do with some people don't feel comfortable telling things like this. Our membership is some of the most helpful that I have seen on any forum. You have been around long enough and started enough threads on sales advice that you know our membership likes to participate in any topic. IMO, this questions is like asking someone you hardly know how much they make a year. You will certainly find those that don't mind sharing how much they paid for their CS. Hell, if I got the deal that redwarrior, got, I would be telling anyone that would listen. I got what I think was a good deal on my 2007 CS. I purchased it in early February so it was among some of the first 2007's. I got something like 10%-12% off MSRP and I was happy with that. I have purchased another P-car from the same dealer since my purchase of my CS and I got an even better deal.
I have been able to drive my CS any time I want to for the last year. I know that once you get your CS you will have the time of your life driving it, but it would be killing me doing all the searching you are doing and still not have a car. Buy the thing already and enjoy the Cayman ownership experience.
Thanks for totally Pi**ing me off guys.....Especially redwarrior (40K indeed...ring 911 somebody just stole a cayman)
MY CAMAN

Paid £52,670.00 $103,125.00 (with options listed below)
Options: .Arctic Silver,19” Sport Design Wheels, Crested Ctrs, Bi-Xenon, Rear Park Assist, Auto Climate Control, Heated Sport Seats, Full Cocoa Leather, Sound Package Plus, PCM with phone module, Multi Function Wheel and Homelink.
and I got a set of mats FREE !!!!!!
In UK we get 2year Warranty only (£875 ($1700 for each 12 month extension)
Since NEW fitted Quaife ATB Diff, Milltek Rear Catback and headers Porsche Aerokit, SS Brake lines, Competition Pads, 18" Black Std Cayman Wheels. 5mm spacers all round, Carbon Mirrors, Carbon Door Entry Sills, Carbon Front Trunk Liner, Porsche short shift kit, Silver Painted Center console, Black Painted front spears and side intakes.
In the UK if you want a Porsche....any Porsche , buy one at list, as nobody will ever give you a deal or money off...suppose that this should make residuals better, ( or so I'm told) and wait 3-6 months for one to boot , as the dealer usually only have their own demonstrator and maybe one show car of each type in the showroom !!!
TBD - Torque Biasing Differential
With an ordinary open differential, a lot of precious power is wasted during wheel spin under acceleration. This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip, along the path of least resistance. The torque capacity of the TBD/ATB unit is increased or decreased by varying the helix and pressure angles of the gear teeth. The operation is automatic and the unit is a direct replacement with the stock differential. There are no clutch plates as in more conventional limited-slip designs.
The Torque Biasing Differential or A.T.B., however, does just the opposite. It senses which wheel has better grip, and biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel. In drag-race style, straight-line acceleration runs, this results in a close to ideal 50/50 power split to both drive wheels, resulting in essentially twice the grip of an ordinary differential.
