2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 sells for $66,000 on Bring a Trailer — was it a deal?
This 2016 [Porsche Cayman GT4](https://fridayswatchlist.com/search?make=Porsche&model=Cayman%20GT4) sold for $66,000, and that's strong money for a project car with a few bumps and bruises.
The Cayman GT4 is an enticing package with its 3.8-liter flat-six engine and six-speed manual transmission. This combination is what makes it a sought-after model among Porsche fans. With only 7,000 miles, this car had low wear and tear, which is a huge plus. The GT Silver Metallic finish adds a touch of elegance, but the real draw is the performance potential. Unfortunately, this particular GT4 is non-drivable due to an accident that damaged the door, right-rear quarter, and suspension. While its current state is a setback, the low mileage and desirable specs mean it could be restored into a formidable sports car.
At $66,000, the bidding reached 16 entries, which shows a solid interest in this project. Given the accident's impact on the car's driveability, the price is fair. Market estimates for similar project cars can vary, but in this case, it seems to align with buyer expectations considering the unique blend of low mileage and the GT4 pedigree. The community consensus reflected this sentiment, with one commenter noting it was "a fair price considering the unknowns."
As for community chatter, there was some good banter, especially from @louielouie, who seemed to take pride in his own car history while commenting on this sale. The comments highlight that while there are always risks in project cars, the allure of restoring a model like this is hard to resist.
For anyone hunting a similar car, keep an eye on repair history and accident records. A low-mileage project can be tempting, but the cost of repairs can escalate quickly if parts are hard to come by or if there are hidden issues. Always get a thorough inspection before diving in.
