Market signal

Hold: no clear market move

Why: the move is within normal sample noise.

  • Mix-adjusted median -20% vs the prior 3 months on 73 recent and 16 earlier USD online-auction sales (80% range -27% to +15%). Adjusted for trim and model year so a run of pricier cars doesn't look like a rising market.
  • Raw median $34,500 in the last 3 months vs $36,250 before (-5%; median model year 2008 → 2011).
  • 12-month trend: +5% per year (mix-adjusted, 90 sales).
  • Sales volume (all auctions the data provider tracks for this model, Aug 2026 to Oct 2026): 74 sales vs 68 in the 3 months before (+9%). Context only; volume doesn't set the rating.

Based on a sample of public auction results for the Porsche Cayman, not all sales. A rough read of recent price direction, not financial or investment advice and not an appraisal. How the market signal works.

Value by trim

Trim is read from the listing title. Only trims with at least 5 USD sales in the snapshot window are shown. The overall median depends heavily on which trims sold recently.

Buyer tips

Early 987.1 Caymans can have IMS and bore-scoring concerns; the 987.2 (2009+) DFI engines dropped the IMS. The GT4 and Cayman R sit well above S and base cars. Look for documented services and a clean pre-purchase inspection.

FAQ

How much is a Porsche Cayman worth?

In our current sample of 92 U.S.-dollar auction sales, the median sold price was $34,375, with sales from $11,500 to $142,000. Individual cars vary with condition, mileage, trim and options; this is a market snapshot, not an appraisal.

Where do these Cayman prices come from?

From completed public auctions (for example Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, PCARMARKET and others). Sold-price data from Old Cars Data auction records. Only sold results are included, not unsold high bids or dealer asking prices.

What should I check before buying a Cayman?

Early 987.1 Caymans can have IMS and bore-scoring concerns; the 987.2 (2009+) DFI engines dropped the IMS. The GT4 and Cayman R sit well above S and base cars. Look for documented services and a clean pre-purchase inspection.

Are Porsche Cayman prices going up or down?

In our sample, the median USD sold price over the last 3 months was $34,375 (from 74 sales), lower than the $36,000 median of the 3 months before that (17 sales), a -5% change. The mix of trims and condition changes from month to month, so read this as a rough signal.

How often is this data updated?

Weekly. Each refresh adds the latest sold auction results to the sample.

Is this an official Porsche price guide?

No. PCar Values is independent and isn't affiliated with Porsche AG or Porsche Cars North America.
