I have thought about that, but I'll wait for better bitcoin price.
And I have changed my mind for 911 version.
I'll have to wait a long time due to:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ill-buy-one-porsche-911-for-1btc-125394

Why did you take Cayman, is it price or what?
I'm going to take test drive next week Cayman and 911, but I Have read that 911 is stronger and Cayman is easier to drive with?

Cayman advantage is that you have an excuse not to take mother-in-law because of lack of backseat.

So why the low miles? Why didn't you drive it more?

First off, it's not actually mine, it's my father's. He listed it recently on Craiglist, along with the Harley, and asked me to list them both on the bitcoin forums for him. He's really excited about the prospect of selling for BTC and I hope someone here picks them up.

Back to your question. My Father is notorious for buying nice cars and never driving them. I'm guessing he's scared to get any scratches on the vehicle and just enjoys looking at the car and calling it his own... He lives in downtown Austin so he doesn't need to drive around much anyways. I tease him because he's basically keeping his vehicles in great shape so the next buyer can get a good deal on a barely used sports car.

Yeah, seems like it! I appreciate that he's willing to sell for BTC, even if I can't buy it myself.

First Porsche bought with internet hacker currency would make nice news. I'm sure it would make a line in quite a few articles. Press loves shit like this.

That is one sexy looking Cayman. These are possibly the best wheels you could have put on it.

Quote from: CrazyGuy on February 13, 2013, 01:56:53 AM

Thank you sir, and this price is a real steal. Assuming someone purchased 1600 bitcoins at the original exchange rate of around .0007639, they could be sitting in this Porsche for a whopping $1.22!

Insane.

Man, a year ago, that same car would have been listed for ~9000 BTC... at this rate, I'll be able to buy myself a Cayman in 3 years!

If only I had that many BTC's... even if I had kept every one of them I have ever received, I still would have less than half, lol.

Gotta wait for the price to rise more...!

If only I had the foresight to keep every coin I've ever mined. When the exchange rate went down to 2, I was still selling half of what I mined. The rate is so volatile right now, who knows what it will be next week or next month. Could be back down to 15 or way above 50... All I know is, if you've got a substantial amount of coins right now, there's a very good chance you bought or mined them at a much lower exchange rate. So this is a great deal regardless!

For transfer of the title, would the seller have to include a bill of sale for say $1 or something? Just curious.

Yes, we're going to have to do something like this. Although I'm also thinking we may be able to use bitpay and a receipt from them to transfer the title.

I'm also willing to sell for cash, but wouldn't you guys like to see the first supercar-bitcoin transaction?

Don't use bitpay - you'd be knocking yourself for 16 BTC (0.99% fee) if you do.

brb keeping up with the Kardashians

Awesome car. IIRC it was voted "Best handling car in the world" a couple years back by some euro car mag, beating out Lotus's Exige.

Wow, that's a really good price.
In Portugal you can't find that car for less than 40,000€ ($53,000)

18,900€ in italy: http://suchen.mobile.de/auto-inserat/porsche-cayman-3-4-s-18-900-torino/174270773.html

EDIT: of course this one has 184000 kilometers and the price might be a bait.
