Had the G for over 4 years. Time for something new.











The last pic of my G

 

Awesome!!!

 

nice! what's the difference in payments if you don't mind me asking?

 

Very nice upgrade

 

I really like these. Is that the carbon brake upgrade?

 

what do those things run for? I can't afford them so I have never bothered looking. Sick car man

 

Definately can't say thats a step backwards. Congrats!

 

Movin' on up. (in that tv shows tune)

 

Nice choice. At least you didn't get a Boxster.

 

Or the regular, non-s version...

Nice upgrade.

 

Thanks Guys!

I bought it used with 7800 miles. I would have never ordered the Ceramic Carbon brakes on a new car, the option (PCCB) is over $8k.

I got if for a real good price. Put it this way, Trading the 4 year old G in on it was like starting over again with a new G.

 

Have fun changing those rotors.

I just priced out the Cayman I would buy on Porsche's website. It came out to over $90K. I guess I'll be waiting a few years to get that...

 

nice new ride, post some interior pics!

 

used cayman s can be found mid 40s, i was looking at one

 

Looks AMAZING!!! Good choice!!

What kind of power do those put out? Sorry, feeling lazy, didnt want to look it up.

< Porsche *****

 

Sounds a lot more reasonable than 90K. I think used is the way to go.

 

About Carbon Ceramic Brakes:



Combining low weight with exceptional strength and hardness – Carbon-Ceramic is a ceramic composite material, composed of carbon fiber within a silicon carbide matrix, so-called carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide.

Carbon-Ceramic brake discs offer substantial improvements over the dynamics of sports and luxury cars in several fundamental areas. This new composite technology sets a new benchmark in decisive user benefit aspects, such as safety and durability.

Carbon-Ceramic brake performance is revolutionary. The ceramic brake disc achieves not only very high, but also consistent frictional coefficients, maintaining them independent from temperature and weather conditions.

Carbon-Ceramic brake discs offer a tremendous weight advantage (about 65%) over traditional grey-cast iron components. This reduces the weight of the suspension and means a reduction in unsprung masses with a further improvement of shock absorber response and behavior.

Carbon-Ceramic brake discs are designed to last the entire lifetime of a car. Thanks to the non-iron based surface, corrosion is totally avoided, increasing the life span of the brake disc

 

for a decently equipped used one, they run $50-55k

example:

2006 Porsche Cayman S [Black] - $53,900 (3k mi, 6spd, black leather)

2006 Porsche Cayman S [Black] - $49,900 (21k mi, 6spd, black leather)

 

He should never have to change them. From what I've read they rarely wear out.

 

One of my favorite new cars. Love the yellow calipers. Congrats
