We are pleased to present this 2012 Porsche Cayman R finished in Meteor Grey Metallic over a black leather interior with Alcantara. Intended for the avid driving enthusiast, the Cayman R was introduced in 2011 featuring a lightweight design, factory aerokit and optimized performance characteristics. This 6-speed 2012 example highlights the Sport Chrono Package and the Bose Surround Sound System as well as clear front-end paint protection film. Purchased by the current owner in 2016 as Certified Pre-Owned from an authorized Porsche dealership, this 2-owner Cayman R shows approximately 25k miles on the odometer and is ready to be enjoyed.
This Cayman R is finished in Meteor Grey Metallic with contrasting silver details. Clear paint protective film has been applied over the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors and leading edge of the roof. The paint is stated to be in excellent condition and the seller notes that the front hood and bumper have been professionally refinished due to a blemish. Removable red and silver graphics have been also been added to the top of the car and along both doors. Distinctive features include a factory aerokit and 19” lightweight Boxster Spyder wheels which remain dressed in their original Goodyear Eagle tires.
The driver is situated in a sporty black leather interior with Alcantara and lightweight bucket seats. The cabin is noted to be in pristine all-original condition with all gauges and accessories remaining fully functional. Staying true to its minimalist design, the Cayman R features fabric door pulls as well as an instrument cover delete. With an original build sheet totaling over $73k, this Cayman R showcases the following exclusive options and amenities:
This Cayman R is equipped a mid-mounted 3.4 L flat-six engine sourced from the Cayman S. Thanks to a freer-flowing exhaust system and revised tuning, the R model develops an extra 10 HP making for a total output of 330 HP. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 6-speed manual transmission providing for a 0-60 time of approximately 4.5 seconds. With the implementation of lightweight technology including GT3-derived aluminum doors, the R weighs up to 121 lbs. less than a standard Cayman S. The Sport Chrono Package adds variable performance settings while the factory Sport Suspension system provides lowered ride height and superior handling capabilities. This Cayman R is said to have undergone all scheduled maintenance with a full service performed in January of 2020 which included standard fluid and filter changes as well as a new clutch interlock switch. The car also received an inspection on the first of May of this year.
The sale of this Cayman R will include a set of two keys, the original books and a collection of service records. This Cayman R is the ultimate choice for a driving purist in search of a well-suited sports car.

Definitely! I always regretted selling my 2012 Boxster Spyder so this will be a nice addition.
I have a Cayman R and absolutely love it. Make sure you get some track time in with this thing. It's a blast passing the Carreras and M3's through the turns. :)
Looking forward to picking it and driving it back to Houston!

@about2throwup I do not have any videos of the car.
@audipwr1 The perpetrator made a scratch on the bumper and some interior panels while loading other stolen goods into the car. All of this has been completely repaired. There was no damage to the spoiler, it was remove and replaced to have it out of the way.
@audipwr1 I don't know how the license plate holder was re-attached to the bumper after repairs.
@audipwr1 correct, was run just prior to listing. Thank you for the interest.
Bid in the amount of $30,000
Any video of the car? Startup, rev, walk around, drive/shift?
@PCARMARKET meaning it was just run? If stolen and insurance repaired 999/1000 times I would expect it to show up?
@audipwr1 The Carfax report provided is the most up-to-date version available.
@Charlie83 - has anyone run an updated one? @Pcarmarket - please check into this
Oh man...this would go SO well with my black GT4, which has the plate VAMPIR on it ?
Carfax up to 2018? That why damage doesn’t show on report?
@audipwr1 Also one other - is the front license plate drilled into the bumper? Thanks
The rear bumper was painted and spoiler repaired as well? See that in the repair order? Interior work as well?
@Charlie83 It was parked at my mother's vacation home temporarily as I wanted a clean, climate controlled space for it. I had hidden a key there. The perpetrator broke in to the house and got lucky... for a few hours.
@Tomfitz73 It does have air conditioning

Does this Cayman R come with A/C? I think I see it in the pics but want to confirm.
How did they manage to steal a modern Porsche?
@skunkworks I just uploaded the repair estimate, it should be posted soon.
Thank you @2012PorscheR - can you post a copy of the bodyshop repair invoice?
@2012PorscheR Do you have pictures of the damage? Detailed invoices of the repairs?
@audipwr1 The car was stolen for a few hours last spring (he's in prison now) and some minor damage was done to the front bumper and hood in his attempt to get the hood open after having disconnected the battery. I had that repaired at a well regarded shop in Eugene.
@skunkworks I was not able to locate those photos.
@skunkworks I didn't see there was a discussion of damage - @2012porscheR can you elaborate on the theft situation please?
Bid in the amount of $13,987
@Charlie83 It was added at Niello when I bought the car in 2016. The service receipt for that is now posted.
Can you post pictures of the damage to the front bumper and hood from when it was stolen?
How much do you owe on the car?
Do you know when the paint protection film was added?
@maherk61 So there doesn't seem to be a simple bolt in solution for harness anchors though the seats are set up for anywhere from 4 point to 6 point harnesses.
@Charlie83 I thought I replied to this but I don't see it posted. I got the DME report today and uploaded that along with the service records. I imagine they will post those uploads by tomorrow morning. No chips or scratches on paint.
Hi do you have a dme report? Also any rock chips, scratches on paint? Thanks!

@jaynar It is not paid off. I believe pcarmarket mediates the transaction so there should not be any issues.
Hi has the car been paid off? Title in hand?
@raidersfan Thank you. I almost bought a house on Ash street a few years ago.
By far the nicest car in Cottage Grove! My great aunt lived off of Ash street for most of her life
@maherk61 Good luck to you Kathy!
@2012PorscheR thank you Aaron. Never done this before. Good luck and hope I can get it. Kathy
@maherk61 I recently bought a house and am wanting to apply my resources to that, so am selling for that reason. I am not sure about the harness anchors but will look into that. I have never tracked the car and, to my knowledge, the previous (original) owner never tracked it either.
Intersted! why are you selling? are there harness anchors built in? has this been on the track?
