[Fined]

I owned a 2009 Cayman S for a year at the same time as my 997.2 GTS.
I liked the car, though it is no 911. It was easy to work on, and the only thing it needed was basic maintenance and expected wear items like a motor mount, even with the car having 95k miles on it.

I would have a 987.2 over a 981 every time due to the steering. I've got extended seat time in 981 due to getting one for several days as a service loaner. Another reason I'd take the 987.2 is they are in shorter supply and the values not only hold but begin to increase a little. I owned my 987.2 for only 1 year, and even with such high mileage I sold it for $2k more than I bought it for. 981 also suffers similar to 991 in feeling generally more disonnected than the previous generation as VAG complete control over Porsche started to have obvious impact. Its not a good change at all if you want to enjoy a sports car.

Get a PPI from an independant source if possible, also make sure all maintenance was up to date through the cars life and you should not have any issues.
