This page tracks sold prices for the Porsche Cayman (base), one trim of the Porsche Cayman (987 / 981), read from auction listing titles. In the last 12 months (Jul 6, 2026 to Oct 26, 2026) our sample recorded 26 U.S.-dollar auction sales of model years 2007 to 2016. The median sold price was $31,750, the middle half sold between $20,100 and $38,900, and results ran from $11,500 to $66,500.
That is 8% below the $34,375 median for all Porsche Cayman sales over the same window (92 sales), and the Cayman (base) accounts for 28% of them.
By model year (years with at least 3 sales), 2007 cars had the lowest median at $19,428 (6 sales) and 2016 cars the highest at $52,500 (3 sales).
What drives value in this sample: of the 12 sales with a known mileage, cars at or under 62,000 miles had a $44,250 median against $24,375 for higher-mileage cars. Model year explains part of each gap, and condition, history and options matter most for any one car.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Porsche Cayman (base) worth in 2026?
In our last 12 months of 26 U.S.-dollar auction sales, the median sold price for a Porsche Cayman (base) was $31,750, with the middle half between $20,100 and $38,900 and sales from $11,500 to $66,500. Condition, mileage, model year and options move any one car; this is a market snapshot, not an appraisal.
How does the Porsche Cayman (base) compare with other Cayman trims?
The Porsche Cayman (base) median of $31,750 compares with $34,375 for all Porsche Cayman sales in our sample window. Among Cayman trims with their own page, the Cayman S has the highest median ($31,875) and the Cayman (base) the lowest ($31,750).
Which Porsche Cayman (base) model year is the best value?
In our sample, 2007 cars had the lowest median ($19,428, 6 sales) and 2016 cars the highest ($52,500, 3 sales), counting model years with at least 3 sales. Lower prices often reflect higher mileage or condition, so compare individual sales.
How much does mileage affect a Porsche Cayman (base)'s value?
Of 12 sales with a known mileage, cars at or under 62,000 miles had a $44,250 median and cars above it $24,375. Mileage often travels with age, so it isn't the only factor behind that difference.
How do you decide which sales count as a Porsche Cayman (base)?
Trim is read from the auction listing title. Race and cup cars, projects, tributes, replicas, conversions and modified cars are left out of trim pages (they still count on the Porsche Cayman page), and special editions are not lumped in with the regular Cayman (base). Sold-price data from Old Cars Data auction records. Only sold results are included.
