      what problems with air cooled engines? They were better than the water cooled ones. They moved to water cooling as tighter and tighter emissions, noise and fuel economy regulations were putting the pinch on air-cooling. That was the only reason they changed. Water cooling gives more power at high end, but that wasn't the reason to move to water.

      Alan B'Stard M P Air cooling doesn’t do much if it’s 110 degrees outside. And air cooling doesn’t do a lot in rear engine cars either. Water cooling is the safest bet.

      I know a person who owns a 2014 s-class brand new from the dealership
      After about a year of light use and after a checkup, keep in mind that he regularly has it checked up in the dealership in the UAE.
      They gave him a receipt of around $22K for different repairs that he had to make and the parts he had to change.
      He then took that report and took it to a german specialized well reputable garage, and they fixed the issues for LESS THAN $2K!!!!!
      That is mostly because the dealership tends to replace parts instead of fixing/repairing them, at least in the UAE.

    I do my own regular maintenance on my Cayman. I’ve never had to drop the engine. If I had to replace the headlight it’s not much more than any other modern sealed headlight unit. Parts are relatively easy to get online and at foreign car retailers. All the crap wrong with that car is b/c it has 145k miles, not b/c it’s a Porsche. Yes, some things are way more expensive partly just b/c they are a low volume mfg. but that’s true of any low volume car, there’s less parts made for repair so it will cost you. In 4 years I’ve only had to do regular oil changes, plugs, wipers etc., however, high performance tires wear out quick. That’s true of any sports car. Couldn’t disagree more on ownership of a Cayman. Have not experienced any “money pit” issues.

    You can DIY all basic maintenance on the Porsche Cayman. That cover in the back hatch area comes off and provides access to the top of the engine.
    The panel behind the seats is removed to gain access to the front of the engine. Pull the rear wheels and a liner panel to gain access to the heads/coil packs and spark plugs. Changing the oil is not that different than most other cars. Very affordable. The clutch, the IMS Bearing or some major catastrophe would be the only reasons to "drop the engine". One of the best kept secret mid-engine cars ever built.

    If you want a bargain sports car that’s perfect for track and daily driving and give you a solid cool factor, you can go wrong with a C5 Corvette. Bullet proof little motors that pack more power than a standard cayman (like the one Scotty showed) and the torque is healthy. Plus I’ve seen them get pretty good gas mileage on the highway. V8, RWD, and a near perfect 50/50 weight distribution that weighs close to 3,200 pounds is a bargain when you can pick one up for $15k or $8k for a higher mileage one

Turns out it's actually the labor, not the parts, that cost the most when repairing small plastic bits on an old cayman! 🤣

    Ended up walking out of the deal and a buddy of mine jumped on it.
    He thought he could rebuild the engine himself.
    When he opened the engine it was completely destroyed inside. The bearing broke Into a million pieces and they fell inside of the engine.
    It turned out to be an endless money pit.
    He sold the car after he pulled the engine out to another sucker for 6 grand.
    At least he made 3k for his troubles.
