My ex wanted a Cerbera for her birthday once. Should have bought it really. The funeral would have been a load cheaper than the divorce.

So what did you get her instead - a birthday card and some flowers?

SLK?

Get Cayman GT4

The only SLK I'd entertain is the AMG version - serial killer in hairdresser's clothing

SLK AMG is not a very good sports car. old fashioned Auto box only makes it frustrating as a pure drivers car. Handling is nose heavy.

It's so far away from a Cayman it shouldn't be on your list.

SLK 55 vs SL 55 - very nice pair ...

And now this SLK has just surfaced on the modern classic radar for those in the know. Prices are solid and probably rising. If fact, and I've said this before, given contractors are meant to be financially savvy there do seem to a lot who are quite happy to buy flash motors brand new and take a good kicking in the stones with depreciation. £10K can buy you a seriously nice motor and £20K something stupid.

I wouldn't be looking at a new Cayman, 4-cylinder freaks that they are.
2014 Cayman S in 18 months would be a good price point and last generation of the six-cylinder Caymans, making it a good fun weekender and a decent longer term investment option too. All sorted.

Sounds all very sensible - well as sensible as you can be when buying such a car. I've always thought people are unnecessarily sniffy about Caymans. They are very nice cars.

Loved my last one, just too impractical at the stage we were at. 18 months from now, things will be significantly different. I think they were viewed as a poor man's 911, when they are something else entirely. Now, a hard top Boxster/Cayman hybrid; that could get interesting.

Divorce?

Divorce?

He's not thinking of spending that much to get a sports car, surely?
