Default I'll be back....

Finally I exchanged my 964 for a beautiful 2007 Cayman S with only 15500 miles and extended Porsche warranty.
I would have kept the 964 but I prefer to have only one P-car at the time and really enjoy it.
Last week end I participated with the Cayman in a Porsche Club event in a circuit 150 miles from Buenos Aires, it was done under heavy rain but the car performed faultlessly, it is so easy to drive fast on a wet track that is amazing...

I just turned 60 years old, I plan to keep the Cayman for a couple of years and, before retirement, I plan to buy another 964 and keep for as long as I live...

Thank you my friends for all the help and good advice that I recieved from you this last 5 years!!!!!

Meteor Grey? I took a 3.4 with PASM out in 2007 for a blast and if modern is what you want then this is the car to have. It is sublime in every way, forget the 997 IMHO thats a barge by comparison. It has the best compromise / power / handling / fluidity of any car I've ever driven.

Henry you have a really nice car there, they drive nice on 18's, just keep the warranty going as long as you have it. You're ok then no matter what happens to the IMS, RMS.

See you soon.

Great car Henry! You are still in the Porsche family.
Stay in touch with this group and let us know how the Cayman owner experience treats you.

Congrats! I recently made the same switch. I might even have the same color (Seal Grey)?

[sniff-sniff] I'm sad to see you go, Henry.

Yours was my car's nearest sibling around here -- only 9 cars separating the two off the production line in '93... (I came to think of your car as mine's long lost Argentinian brother!)

I recall your early ownership's Christmas lights, and your stubborn refusal to let them get the better of you! And of your periodic track day accounts.

Have fun with that Cayman, Henry!

Thanks Lonnie!!! your help was always appreciated, and yes you are right I had my share of issues with the damned "christmas tree" effect but I didn´t give up on my beautiful 964.
I have bittersweet feelings, I would have loved to keep both cars but it was impossible for me.
And yes my car value was appreciated. I did buy the Cayman adding very little money
