Found a beautiful 2014 981 Cayman S with PDK that had everything I wanted and more
She is loaded!!
My must haves were
White on black
X73 sports suspension (super hard to find)
Sport Chrono pkg
Sportsdesign steering wheel
20" Carrera S wheels

The rest was gravy and there was a lot of it.... vin check revealed $18,500 in options!! Nice!!!

I searched nationwide on every site every day for about a month and finally found the perfect spec at a lexus dealer in San Jose Ca.

After some over the phone negotiations and a price I was very happy with and I was on a plane the next day...7am flight to Northern Cal and I was back home by 7pm in So Cal


I loved my NSX and will always appreciate that car, but the 22 year newer Cayman S is on a whole nother level.... I know it doesn't no have the wow factor on the old NSX, but it's just such a better car in just about every way.

I wanted the new C8, but the wait is long right now and I figured I could enjoy the heck out of this car right now and the next couple years while I let the dust settle on the C8...and save a ton of money with the used market.

Only had it a couple days now, but so far I'm loving it!

A proper shot with a proper background

Beautiful cayman man!! Good luck with it , I’m sure you enjoyed your NSX.
