I do not think the $40K is that bad but for that price I would rather have a lightly used Cayman if I am going to buy a German engineered car.

Quite aware of that. I just had my GTI reflashed for an 80 hp gain. But that car cost me nowhere close to $40k.

They're dropping a bit I think. I saw 4 at a dealership in December and they were all just under $50k.
