The Porsche 981 Cayman covers model years 2014–2016 of the Porsche Cayman (987 / 981). The second-generation Cayman (U.S. model years 2014–2016), including the GT4. In the last 12 months (Jul 7, 2026 to Oct 26, 2026) our sample recorded 30 U.S.-dollar auction sales of model years 2014 to 2016. The median sold price was $63,000, the middle half sold between $49,800 and $80,500, and results ran from $32,000 to $142,000.
That is 83% above the $34,375 median for all Porsche Cayman sales over the same window (92 sales).
Other generations: the Porsche 987 Cayman (2006–2012) at $30,250 from 62 sales.
By model year (years with at least 3 sales), 2015 cars had the lowest median at $47,625 (6 sales) and 2016 cars the highest at $78,500 (16 sales).
By trim (read from listing titles, 5+ sales), the GT4 had the highest median at $108,000 (10 sales) and base/other cars the lowest at $49,050 (8 sales).
What drives value in this sample: manual cars had a $55,001 median (17 sales) against $64,574 for PDK or automatic cars (5); of the 17 sales with a known mileage, cars at or under 17,000 miles had a $92,000 median against $54,375 for higher-mileage cars. Trim and model year explain part of each gap, and condition, history and options matter most for any one car.

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.

In this sample, manual cars sold for a $55,001 median (17 sales) and PDK or automatic cars for $64,574 (5 sales). Trim, model year and mileage differ between the two groups, so this isn't a like-for-like price difference.
