Are the 07-08 Caymans suppose to have a "reinforced" ims bearing?

That's a no brainer from a customer service perspective imo, will likely cement you buying another Porsche in the future.

Blue On Blue posted:I could pull it off as a 2nd car, it's just complicated since i live in a 3olives type building, so I only have 1 parking spot. I could make it work though with a 'regular' vehicle for stuff that needs a trunk. That's what the 911s are for, no one shows off with the cheapest Porsche.

Forums all over claim that the incidence of failure is "very low" in Caymans, as it got a reinforced bearing I believe. So the trade off is, buy a 2009+ and have a 0% chance of IMS problems, or save the difference by purchasing the 06-07 car and bank part of it for the "oh poo poo" fund in case it does.

Dave Inc. posted:I wonder what maintenance has been performed on the transmission. High mileage PDKs give me the willies. That 9A1 engine is a nice lump, though, for sure. There is a price bump, however the biggest problem with 2009s (and the couple years after that) is that there are so few of them. The great recession really did a number on sales. https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/porsche-cayman-sales-figures/ It would be nice to not worry about IMS stuff, but at this point it was as reinforced as it was going to be before they moved away from that design.

Dave Inc. posted:Then one day you go to your car and it misfires and rattles on startup because of a bad coil pack and before you know it you're back inside crying and changing your underwear. With current world events, prices may depress on the later models anyway and I can't be irresponsible with money now  . I feel you on the peace of mind re IMS stuff.

Is it a weird opinion to think the profile of a 911 is not as good as a Cayman? They almost sorta fixed it in the latest model but as a result made it bigger as well (I think).

Ahhh ok, then yeah a 718 S for sake of trying something "new". The 4 cylinder gets poo poo on, but if your emotional needs don't require the 6 cylinder exhaust note, then there are deals to be had I'm sure.

If it's going to be a car you're going to (part time) daily and sit in traffic with, the 718 4 cylinder with the added grunt lower in the rev range makes even more sense.

The other consideration is if you want to mess around with tuning, the turbo 4 is the obvious choice.

Here4DaGangBang posted:My dad has had a couple of convertibles over the years (a Triumph TR6 when I was a kid and a Buick Wildcat many years later) and what I learned from them is that convertibles are great to ride around in with the top down on a very small number of days every year. It can’t be too hot or too cold or too sunny; for what ends up being the vast majority of days you want the roof up, and then you’re dealing with the extra noise that comes with a convertible roof and potentially water leaking if it’s raining (maybe these are bigger issues with older cars) and stuff that you don’t have to worry about with hardtop. Sorry about your 4 seasons, try living in a better place.

Question for those with lord experience with the Stuttgart specials than I. Is the 996/997 convertibles compromised in design like other cars that are hard tops and get a convertible version? Things like more body flex etc... Why not a 987?
