This looks to be a good running and driving Porsche Cayman but it has issues of note. There are scratches all around the vehicle. There are dings on the left rocker panel. There are a number of rock chips in the paint - see pictures. The left quarter panel has been spot repaired between the wheel arch and the intake vent. The headlights have rock chips and the right headlight is sun weathered at the bottom. Both door mirrors have rock chips. There are rock chips all over the hood. There are rock chips on the bottom part of both doors. The steering wheel shows signs of wear. The driver seat shows wear. The inner door panels show wear consistent with age and mileage. The interior trim shows normal wear consistent with age and mileage. The center console shows wear. I found one issue on the test drive. There is a whining noise coming from the drive line that gets louder as the RPMs get higher. When I press the clutch in, no matter what speed, the sound goes away. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires or excessive smoking. The transmission shifted as designed with no harsh engagement or slipping. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation felt. There were no leaks found to the underside of the vehicle. I hooked up my Scan Tool to the computer system and found no current or pending codes. All of the live data looked good with no issues reported. Overall a decent vehicle. See below and pictures for more info.

Important Disclosures

This report is a visual and road-test evaluation of the vehicle’s observable condition at the time of inspection. It is a buying guide — not a mechanical warranty, a diagnostic breakdown, or a recommendation for or against purchase.

This report reflects a visual and road-test evaluation of observable conditions at the time of inspection only. Vehicles are not placed on a lift, and no diagnostic testing or teardown was performed. This inspection report is for information purposes only and is intended as a buying guide, not a mechanical warranty or diagnostic breakdown, and is not to be considered a recommendation for or against the purchase of the inspected vehicle.

This Inspection Report is governed by the terms and conditions of the order which were accepted by you at the time of placing the order and which are available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms and which contain important information, disclosures, disclaimers, limitations on liability and mandatory arbitration. This Inspection Report is for the sole and exclusive use of the Customer named above and may not be used or relied upon by any third party including, without limitation, any purchaser of a vehicle from Customer.

Without limiting the Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations on Liability and Dispute Resolution provisions of the terms and conditions (available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms), there are no implied or express warranties or guarantees of any kind in connection with any vehicle inspection. The vehicle inspection is intended solely as an “evaluation” of a given vehicle’s condition at the time, date and place of examination. Wrench Inc., and its affiliates including LemonSquad, specifically disclaims any liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with ownership or operation of said vehicle and further disclaims any liability of any hidden wreck, flood damage or tampered components not readily apparent upon visual inspection. The items visually inspected were in the reported condition listed in the report at the time of the inspection only. A visual inspection will not identify the working condition of each and every vehicle part or component, nor will a visual inspection identify any or all missing, tampered or altered components. Intermittent component or systems issues or failures may not present themselves at the precise time of inspection and/or a vehicle may be tuned in a manner to mask or minimize any such issues; in either case, such intermittent issues may not be discoverable during inspection. Further disclaimed is any liability for any damage or defects not found during inspection. Other conditions may exist which did not occur or appear during inspection. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the vehicle to be inspected is in a state in which the vehicle is legal to drive on public roads, safe and functioning well enough to start and drive, and located in a space that is accessible and allows the inspector full access to vehicle components. Vehicles that are not safe, legal, or in a running condition will not have a test drive performed.
