Today we bring you a relatively low-mileage 2012 Porsche Cayman S with a manual transmission.

First, a note of housekeeping -- if you've been missing the UCOTD and QOTD, I was on vacation. Perhaps I should've mentioned that last week, but I forgot. My bad.

OK, back to our usual programming. Today's Porsche has the Aero Kit II and Sport Chrono Plus, and there are about 62,000 miles on it.

This one has some suspension and brake mods, though nothing involving the engine or exhaust. It also has had some frame damage from small fender-benders.

You can read all about those things here.

If this kind of ride interests you, the asking price for this California-based car is $35,000. It has been tracked, but not often.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Nice car, but price seems a bit steep.

Its a SUPERB car. It all depends on the details (would you let TIM find you your used car?) So if you are serious about it, DO YOUR GOD DAMNED HOMEWORK, and DO NOT TAKE ANYBODY's WORD FOR IT. otherwise, "a fool and his money are soon parted"

Redapple2 I have love for the Challenger, Wrangler (untarted up) and the best Pig Ups on the market. Ram. Thats it.
Jalop1991 I had the Chrysler van, PHEV, 3.5 years old. We were going to go a different direction, and get a Bronco. I asked Carvana and Carmax, how much will you buy this from me for? They each gave me a number--the same number. I drove the van to the CDJR dealer and asked; he gave me a number significantly lower, something like 19% lower. I said hmmm, ok. I told him I was looking at Bronco; he said let's go look at Jeeps. Sure. WOW, those prices. What, made of gold? ✔️ So: lower trade by far, higher price by far. Yep. We went and got the Bronco. Ford knows how to unweld those tires from the lot.
