2007 Porsche Cayman

Background:

• This is my 4th Porsche I've owned:

  • • 1971 914/6

    • 1999 911 C4

    • 2003 Boxster S

    • 2007 Cayman Base

• This car is in Calgary and isn't/hasn't been driven in the snow.

• I'm selling this car and my daily driver (2011 BMW 328X Drive Wagon) to buy one car (I'm thinking Audi S7 or Panamera)

• I am the 3rd owner of this car

• The car was originally purchased from Beverly Hills Porsche in March of 2008

• The car was imported into Canada in February of 2012

• I bought the car from the person who imported it in July of 2017

• It was in a low speed accident in June 2020 - no frame or structural damage

Details and mechanical history:

• The original owner had the engine replaced under warranty in 2011 at 60,000 miles = 96,000 km.

• I've had the car serviced at AutoLeader here in Calgary for the entire time I've owned it. I have all my cars serviced there. They are German car specialists and they have been very good.

• In the spring of 2019, I had the original sound unit professionally replaced with a new head unit (Sony XAV-AX1000) with Apple Car play. It is integrated with the existing BOSE system

• In the spring of 2020, I had Autoleader:

  • • install H&R Performance springs. This gave the car a slightly firmer ride as well as a much better lowered profile.

    • install spacers to push out the wheels (front 7mm and rear 25mm)

    • perform an alignment

    • beside the aesthetic, the handling performance is greatly improved with the resulting lowered centre of gravity

• There was a low speed merge accident at the on ramp to 16th Ave NW from University Drive - it was drivable and I drove it home

  • • while doing a shoulder check, the truck in front of me came to a complete stop. I did fairly well to avoid a direct nose to tail hit, but I couldn't avoid impact completely

    • the front right fender was driven (again, at low speed) under the bumper of the truck in front of me

    • the bulk of the damage was limited to the front right quarter panel. The bulk of the costs were:

      • • replace the fender

        • replace the front bumper cover

        • replace the inner panel of the fender

        • replace the front right headlight

        • labour

    • While in the body shop, I took advantage of the situation to do the following:

    • repair any minor scratches or door dings

    • install and paint the upgraded front spoiler (cost of the spoiler -$500)

    • repaint the entire lower portion of the car

    • install the striping

• When I picked up the car, it looked fantastic!

• The only real blemish is a recently acquired scratch of (yup) the front right fender about 1.5 in long
