I was the highest bidder of this particular 2018-porsche-718-cayman-s with a bid of $45250, which didn’t meet the reserve, but Cars & Bids reached out with a deal of $48500 + their 2.5% fees and I said the best I could do was $46200 + 2.5% fee considering they cut the fee from 4.5% to 2.5%, but it didn’t quite close the gap and the deal was off.
But the more I think about this the more I question myself should I just buy it at the suggested deal price? This Cayman S does have:
~ quite a bit mileage (I’m neutral about this as I thought I might get a better deal and I don’t have to cherish it as much considering it already has some mileage on it)
- a lot of modification, including exhaust
- meh color, I like exotic colors
- standard upholstery
+ Auto transmission (pls don’t judge me)
+ ventilated seats
+ southern owned
Is it worth reaching out again? It might have been sold anyway? Or do I need to calm down and wait lol.
How long have you been looking? How many have you seriously considered buying? My experience with folks buying cars is that the vast majority of buyers fall int o two categories. Either you are able to wait for the right one and you’ll know when that one comes through and you are satisfied with your purchase. Or, you are high on the ether to buy a Cayman. You’ll find another one in a short period of time that will work for you. Chances are high you’ll give up an option in exchange for another option, but it’ll be okay.
No judgement. Both types are great. You know which one you are. Enjoy! Let us know when you pull the trigger and post pics.
Great comment. I was high to buy my cayman. I wanted manual for sure, and not silver. Just for fun I drove a silver tiptronic S and bought it on the spot. I haven’t ever regretted it. It’s in my garage right now while my Panamera sits in the driveway. I’m going to go down and look at it before I go to sleep.
