This 2016 example shows just 8,700 miles. It is on Cars and Bids at $67,000 with six days to go.2016 Porsche Cayman GT4Cars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowThe 981 GT4 has established itself as a blue-chip modern Porsche. According to Classic.com, the standard 981 GT4 averages around $104,228, with Kelley Blue Book pegging private-party values in the $79,000 to $93,000 range, and clean low-mileage examples generally trading from around $90,000 into the $110,000s, well above their original sticker.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis car's very low mileage, desirable specification, and essentially stock condition support strong money within that range. The open items detailed below, which are standard GT-car due diligence, are the main things to resolve, and black-on-black is a safe rather than premium color.2016 Porsche Cayman GT4Cars & BidsWeighing the low mileage and condition against those points, fair value realistically lands in the $90,000 to $110,000 range, most likely around $95,000 to $105,000. At $67,000 with six days remaining, the bidding is climbing and should push into that band.Condition and detailsThe car is a low-mileage, well-documented example. Finished in black over black, it carries the Sport Chrono Package, 20-inch GT4 wheels, an extended fuel tank, 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, and Porsche Communication Management with navigation, with the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six making 385 horsepower through the six-speed manual, and the only modification is a K40 radar detector. Recent service covered the brake fluid and oil, fresh Michelin tires were fitted in 2025, and the sale includes the window sticker, service records, a car cover, and factory accessories.2016 Porsche Cayman GT4Cars & BidsA few items deserve confirmation, all standard due diligence for a GT-department Porsche. Bidders have asked for a DME report to check the over-rev ranges and engine hours, which is essential before buying any GT car, so obtain it. Bidders also asked whether the WJ88 third-gear recall has been completed, so verify that against the VIN, along with any PADM faults or door-card warping, items a Porsche specialist can check during a pre-purchase inspection.2016 Porsche Cayman GT4Cars & BidsOn condition, the seller discloses some chips and touch-up around the exterior, scratches on the front-bumper paint protection film, a windshield chip, and some interior wear, and notes that the front lip and intake side vents received restorative paintwork to address road-debris scratches. These are minor for a driven car. Otherwise it is a low-mileage, two-owner, essentially stock example, and a specialist inspection rounds it out.2016 Porsche Cayman GT4Cars & BidsAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakePorscheModelCayman GT4 (981)Year2016Mileage8,700 milesEngine3.8-liter flat-sixPower385 hp and 309 lb.ft of torqueTransmission6-speed manualDrive typeRear wheel drive with limited-slip differentialExterior colorBlackInterior colorBlackCurrent bid$67,000, with six days leftInterested in this 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4? View the listing here.What makes the Cayman GT4 uniqueThe Cayman GT4 was a landmark car for Porsche, the first time the mid-engine Cayman received attention from the GT department. It borrowed extensively from the 911 GT3, with a 30mm-lower ride height, upgraded brakes, a limited-slip differential with torque vectoring, and suspension components derived directly from the 991 GT3, and it used a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Carrera S paired exclusively with a six-speed manual. The result silenced any lingering doubts about the Cayman as a driver's car and created an instant benchmark, a naturally aspirated, manual, mid-engine Porsche that many consider one of the finest driving cars of the modern era.2016 Porsche Cayman GT4Cars & BidsThat combination of GT3-derived hardware, a howling naturally aspirated engine, and a proper manual gearbox is exactly why the 981 GT4 has become so coveted and why values continue to climb. With the naturally aspirated, manual formula increasingly rare, enthusiasts often view it as a relative bargain next to six-figure 911 GT3s.My takeThis is a benchmark modern Porsche, and a low-mileage example of one. The 981 GT4 is widely regarded as one of the great driver's cars of its generation, and with 8,700 miles, essentially stock condition, and a strong service and documentation trail, this one is exactly the kind of car the appreciating GT4 market rewards. As the commenters note, it is a beautifully presented example that is begging to be driven.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value sits in the $90,000 to $110,000 range, so the current bid has room to climb over the six days remaining. The homework is standard GT-car diligence: get the DME report to confirm the over-rev history and engine hours, verify the WJ88 recall status and check for PADM faults and door-card issues, and commission a Porsche-specialist inspection. Handle that, and you own one of the finest driver's cars Porsche has built, in low-mileage condition.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
