What is the best year for a used Porsche Cayman?

I’d love to purchase a Porsche Cayman for my son’s birthday, but since it’ll be his first car, I’d rather buy it used. Any idea what the best year for a used Porsche Cayman is?

Great question! The best year to buy a used Porsche Cayman is hard to pin down, as the Cayman hasn’t had a bad model year. Still, many regard the 2008 Porsche Cayman as an excellent model year because of its affordability, reliability, and quality build—inside and out.
However, this doesn’t mean the 2008 Cayman is the be-all-end-all Cayman model for used car buyers, so your decision will ultimately come down to what’s most important to you. The older you go, the more affordable the car will be (and the lower your son’s

will be). Newer models, of course, will have more up-to-date features and technology, like Bluetooth compatibility and better climate control.
Overall, most experts would agree that the Cayman has been a consistently high-quality vehicle throughout its production run. If you’re looking for the best balance of value and performance, you may want to consider a used Cayman from the mid-to-late 2010s, as these models are more affordable than newer models and still offer plenty of features and capabilities.
