2018 718 Cayman GTS 6-Speed

Built as a sporting and responsive step up from the 718 Cayman S for the 2018 model year, the 718 Cayman GTS featured a 365 bhp 2.5-liter turbo-four along with the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear axle limited slip differential and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) as standard. To set it apart visually, the GTS featured a new Sport Design front with black-tinted front and rear lights, and Black accents.

This 15,000-mile 2018 718 Cayman GTS 6-speed is finished in Graphite Blue over an Agate grey interior and features Power Sport Seats, PDLS+, Light Design Package, BOSE, and more for a total MSRP of 96,590.

Every inch of this GTS has been photographed with the Graphite Blue paint showing in good condition with only minor wear and no paint work as verified by paint meter readings all around the car. The seller notes that a dent was repaired in 2019 and the CarFax is clean as a whistle.

On the inside, the Agate Gray leather shows very little in the way of wear with door sills and side bolsters looking good. Engine and undercarriage pics are excellent as well and the car has been religiously maintained by Porsche Fairfield over the years.

Over the last twelve months, 2.5-liter GTS have averaged $65,144 with mileage in the range of 7,000 to 31,000 miles. This GTS sits on the lower side of mileage, but it didn’t sell on the lower side of pricing as it brought a new twelve-month high at a final bid of $80,000. Well sold as you’re not far off from GTS 4.0 prices.

Two things that go hand-in-hand? Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd. And like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points. 

On a recent visit to Pittsburgh, SML subscriber Allan S. tossed me his new Sheffield Allsport watch. Sheffield Watches is a reboot of an old dive watch brand founded in New York in the ‘50s that was synonymous with producing low-price point, quality watches. The weight of the stainless steel case felt robust, as did the feel of the screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel—definitely quality. As for price point, the Sheffield diver punches way above its weight at $108. You can’t buy more watch for the money, period. 

And that’s what Sheffield Watches’ founder Jay Turkbas set out to accomplish, reviving the brand's ethos and creating a watch synonymous with quality, technology, and affordability. Taking inspiration from his original Sheffield watch from the ’70s and his 30-plus years of experience in product development and innovation, he knocked it out of the park with a durable watch capable of exploring the depths of the ocean one day and cars & coffee the next. And all at a price point equivalent to the $13 the watch originally cost back then. Take a moment to give Sheffield Watches a look. I know you’ll be just as impressed as I am.
