Electric steering, so it will not suit buyers who want hydraulic feel. Dealer and online asking prices vary by several thousand dollars.

1Inspect before buying

Check these on the car or in the paperwork before you pay.

  • Confirm PDKThis target is PDK only. Verify from the listing and VIN.
  • Steering is electricThis is the first electric Cayman, so it will not meet a hydraulic-steering preference.
  • Coolant leaksLook for seepage and low coolant.
  • Accident and paint historyMid-engine cars attract hard driving; check the history report.

2Prevent after buying

Do these in the first weeks to start from a known baseline.

  • PDK fluid and filter serviceReset the baseline. $600–$1,000
  • Spark plugs and coolantBaseline. $400–$800
  • Brake fluid and padsSafety baseline. $300–$900

3Prepare for

Long-term costs and the mileage where they tend to arrive.

  • Water pump and cooling hosesAge-related. $900–$1,800~80,000 mi
  • Suspension bushings and dampersTires and wear increase cost. $1,500–$4,000~80,000 mi
  • Warranty or extended coverageNewest car on the list; consider coverage while it is available. $1,500–$3,500~60,000 mi
