some thing different .
The most different thing is the price for the options which came to more than the list price of a brand new 987/981/718 Spyder!

This car comes with the following options; Paint to sample: €35,000 Yachting blue interior: €10,000 Front lift: €7500 Magnesium wheels: €25,000 Carbon interior package: €5,500 Key painted in exterior colour with leather pouch: €800 Model badges on side and back (acid delete):€2,000 Brake callipers in silver (acid delete): €2,000 Seat inlays in yachting blue (acid delete) €1,500 Nearly €90,000 net of taxes in options

It was kind of replaced by something else very nice also in the same colour, and I went back to a 987 Spyder myself

I think the 718 SPyder has now hit the bottom in prices.

we got to 32 for sale, and now they are coming back down as the best ones get sold 1st.

Autotrader back down to 28 cars and now droping again.

992 GT3 sales from 85 cars last week to 65 cars this week again selling now the drops have happened. I have been looking for a top spec PDK GT4 the best 4 cars I were looking at all sold in the las tweek even the £100k ones.

seems things are moving much sooner than people expected.

How many 718 Spyders came to UK ??

227 981's and only 8 on Autotrader today

 
Didn’t fancy the New Artic Gt4 at Reading last week then? Nice car/spec. No overs.

Dont think we have bottomed out on 718 Spyder yet still got a way to go yet.

Did not like all the red inside.

we have bottomed out as cars are selling, the best cars already gone. Same with GT4’s the 4 I were looking at were all over £100k but you see shitty cars at 85k still but always something missing or the car high miles. Shit spec cars or one with red inside will be left and will have to be much cheaper. i don’t like any of the gt4 left already. Same with gt3 just a few nice ones left now they all dropped £20k.

only cars dropping now are the RS models.

The best ones have all gone!

Autotrader today have no less than 91 cars for sale so how many 718 GT4's landed on these shores compared to 981's

Looking at the used ratios as a rough guide it seems 3 times as many 718's v 981's of both flavours Spyder & GT4

Have you considered a RS GT4 as they tumble from well over £200k to closer to original OTR list prices

 
there are loads but for £100k I am fussy on spec. Put in PDK, Buckets, PCCB and LEDS and really very few cars come up, as we all know comforts are dead sellers in the 2nd hand market esp more so GT4's. PDK came a year later so all early cars are manual. Then Porsche could not supply LED lights or now PCCB's ! the 4 nice spec cars have all SOLD ! thats just how it is the real market not the forum market of doom. not spending £100k ona car with no spec as I want to also be able to sell it in 12 months, it's just a toy for me for a year. And the spec above not only is the best spec it's the sort after spec. only 2 cars which are dropping are the 4rs and the 3 rs, these are yet to find the selling level and will be made for another 12 months so will be list soon or 10k above atm most are £30k over list, so I don;t call thata drop. the market refused the lol £250k asking prices thats all. and people still refusing at £30k overs as you can get slots. But I will daily the GT4 so the RS is not for me anyway and the are far from "original OTR list prices" as you state, £30k overs for most, if you look none have leds or pccbs so list is £140k and most are >£170k

it's only got steel disks so is too much money added to that it's the base lights not even the middle spec (which I would also take) so I would not buy it for those 2 reason the 3rd being the lol value they put on it. HENCE ITS STLL FOR SALE !!! I'll pay £100k for the right car but as I said all the best ones have sold, the best cars now are all over £100k and imo thats too much ££ for a Cayman esp to sell it in 12 months for £85k !

This example has been for sale nearly 3 months now and apart from no PCCB's its got most of your boxes ticked but still no takers.

Current asking price is what it cost brand new plus full Topaz PPF so in today's falling market I would have thought £98-100k for one of the very last examples registered would be all the money
