Thoughts on orange Cayman S Sport

I am thinking about buying an orange Cayman S Sport, but I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on the color. I do not really want to buy a car that I will have a hard time reselling because of the color. If it were a GT3 RS there would be no question in my mind that it is the right color, but I don't know if the Cayman can really pull it off, especially since I will be using the car as a daily driver. Any thoughts?

orange looks good *** hell, it suits the car just as well. Porsche's are exotic cars , all of them. they can pull of such colors and still maintain its class.

I get nothing but compliments from people who see my orange Boxster. The Orange cayman looks great too! You should get it if you want it.

I'm sure theres some kind of market where someone's looking for a bright car. It's a porsche, not like an orange prius

I'm sure you will get better resell value on orange.
I sold my Boxster S LE for $48k 6 months ago which was way better than a normal color Boxster S

I think I am going to go for it. I have been deciding between the Cayman S and an E92 M3. They are both nice, but the M3 doesn't make me as excited as the orange Cayman S Sport.

The sport has same suspension as my RS60. Great car and you won't believe how capable the car is once you get used to it.

It also has the sport exhaust which is also great; especially with the top down.

Orange is fine but won't recommend it as a daily driver.

I am definitely okay with it, I was just worried about resale. I think it might take me a little longer to find the right buyer, but I am fine with that. That's how it went with my modded E46 M3.

a normal color will sell faster and may bring more money

I would buy an orange color over "regular" silver every day of the week.

Orange with black accents or all black both look awesome in the cayman.

I think it depends on the person buying it. If your a person that need's attention you will get it with a orange Porsche. So is it hard to resell? not necessarily it just depends on who's in the buying market flashy person, conservative person, or my favorite someone trying to relive their youth, then there's the just trade it in. Good luck on your decision I hope this helps!
