This happened a little while ago.
I received a call from someone just before 9 a.m. The message was, "What do you think of this Porsche?"
There was a link, so I thought, "Hmm, maybe a nice Porsche has appeared?" and clicked on it.
The car displayed was this 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman.
This Porsche is listed as a certified pre-owned vehicle at a certain Porsche Center, and has a mileage of 27,618 km.
It comes with a 12-month Porsche certified warranty, and there's no damage history, so yes, it might indeed be a fantastic Cayman.
...or so I thought, but lately I haven't had any particular desire to "want a Cayman!" or "I'm looking for a 982 Cayman," and I haven't talked about such things with anyone.
So why did they specifically recommend this Cayman to me?
Is there something special about it...?
That's what I thought, and then I looked at more information... Ah.
Ah.
understood?
Yes, this Cayman is incredibly cheap!
The total payment is 167,970 yen, but the vehicle price is an unbelievable 6,500 yen! 6,500 yen!
No, depending on the manufacturer, they're cheaper than miniature cars (lol).
The planned monthly payment amount is "1,400 yen".
Even at Tokyo's minimum wage, you can pay for it by working just two hours of part-time work a month.
While I was surprised by how cheap it was, I was just about to start driving at the time, so I just glanced at the information and replied, "That's incredibly cheap!", but I didn't go so far as to contact the Porsche Center to express my interest in purchasing a car.
I saw the information about this Cayman for 6,500 yen around 9:20 in the morning.
Then, about 15 minutes later, I had some free time again, so I accessed the Cayman information again...
It was selling well (lol)!
I missed out on buying a really cheap Porsche (lol).
Well, in reality, it was probably just a simple typo and they only marked it as sold in order to correct it, but it really did sell within 15 minutes of me checking the link for the second time, which was incredible timing.
Thank you to everyone who provided information. I enjoyed it this morning!
Oh, sorry for this blog post being just about this much! (lol)
I'm Rika, the author of this article. Since I got my hands on a Porsche 911, I've been completely hooked on Porsches and I can't stop loving them, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are the 911 Carrera (2/991), 911 Carrera Cabriolet & 911 Carrera T (1/992), GT3 (1/997) and 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
