Used Car of the Day: 2019 Porsche Cayman S

A huge chunk of our recent UCOTD's have been, uh, reclamation projects. So for today, we're going high-end with a low-mileage 2019 Porsche Cayman S.


This car has just 8,600 miles on it and is stock except for an aftermarket air filter. It apparently has no damage and has been well-maintained -- the seller just wants to get rid of it because he doesn't drive it that much.

This Florida-based car is priced at $72,900.

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.

    Picture of the original window sticker? I like this seller a lot. (Not as crazy about the owner's cost per mile.)

    Fun fact: Fuel economy figures (city, highway and combined) are identical to the 2023 Corolla GR.

    "stock except for an aftermarket air filter" There goes your engine warranty.

      It hasn't been driven enough to warrant an air filter change and the warranty is up as of this year anyway.


  • SCE to AUX This was the same car I had (05 xB, stick, "camouflage" color) for 7 years - great car.We called ours "The Lunchbox". I added aftermarket wheels, and the 3rd-party cruise control the dealers could install.It suffered only two failures: bad window switch in week 2 (dealer fixed in 1 hour), bad trailing O2 sensor (fixed myself for $70). Fuel economy was always 28-34 mpg.It was a potential death trap, and ride quality became unbearable after 2 hours. I once did a 10-hour round trip in it and could barely walk after.Traded it for a 2012 Leaf, which was a better car in some ways.
  • Bd2 The "e" nomenclature signifies the e-ATPs which BMW is pursuing.
  • Dave M. I'm sorry to see any storied name go away. The lifespan of the Malibu has fit perfectly in my lifetime years-wise. Some of the highlights include the first and second generations, the '78 revamp (very clean design), and the 2005 generation. Ford, GM and Mopar gave this segment away by allowing Toyota and Honda a foot in the door and then always having to play catch-up. How hard is it to make a truly competitive sedan at a profit? Obviously, Japan Inc. figured it out.I've driven a few rentals these past years; the Malibu got the job done but honestly the Passat and Altima were my rental preferences.
  • Kcflyer actually yes. It's a shame that a product this uncompetitive can still outsell GM's entire EV offerings. Those products have had billions thrown at them. Imagine how nice the new Malibu, Impala, SS, and Lacrosse would be with that kind of commitment.
