The Porsche 987 Cayman covers model years 2006–2012 of the Porsche Cayman (987 / 981). The first-generation Cayman (model years 2006–2012), facelifted for 2009 as the 987.2. In the last 12 months (Jan 2, 2026 to Oct 28, 2026) our sample recorded 62 U.S.-dollar auction sales of model years 2006 to 2012. The median sold price was $30,250, the middle half sold between $23,200 and $35,600, and results ran from $11,500 to $117,000.

That is 12% below the $34,375 median for all Porsche Cayman sales over the same window (92 sales).

Other generations: the Porsche 981 Cayman (2014–2016) at $63,000 from 30 sales.

By model year (years with at least 3 sales), 2007 cars had the lowest median at $22,625 (14 sales) and 2012 cars the highest at $59,000 (7 sales).

By trim (read from listing titles, 5+ sales), the S had the highest median at $30,500 (38 sales) and base/other cars the lowest at $26,625 (24 sales).

What drives value in this sample: manual cars had a $30,500 median (47 sales) against $21,653 for Tiptronic or PDK cars (8); of the 27 sales with a known mileage, cars at or under 75,000 miles had a $33,125 median against $28,250 for higher-mileage cars. Trim and model year explain part of each gap, and condition, history and options matter most for any one car.

All trims in the snapshot window

The trim pages above use stricter title rules (they leave out race, modified and custom cars, and need the exact trim name), so their sale counts can be lower than in this table.

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.
