Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Similar very low mileage cars at OPC's have shifted much quicker. Bramley's car was often much higher. They must want to be the last trader with one []ORIGINAL: daro911Back in the 1990's Bramley always dabbled in 89 Speedsters with cars often spending a couple of years in their garage before being sold and them repeating the exercise with fresh stocks  Fast forward 20 years and maybe they are about to start over again this time with the Spyders []  One thing for sure their car is probably lowest mileage latest registered example on offer anywhere in the world today and their new price certainly reflects it's unique place in the world wide webÂORIGINAL: flat6 What's going on with Bramley's car[&:].

Made me laugh anyway! Tough choice with the Bramley car. Pay them £46k for the last new one or £36500 (less haggling) for John's red car with 8500 miles and a full 2 year warranty at Nottingham... They must be very colour sensitive on the price, our white cars must be in the early fifties now, the only way is up!!!!! Reminds me of a tale an old hand at court was telling about interesting sales techniques. Back in the day he wanted to change his Ferrari and test drove a testarossa at a highly regarded dealer local to me. For one reason or another, it was not the car for him and so he kept looking. He was then surprised to see a younger lower mileage car advertised by the dealer and rang him up to ask him why he hadn't been contacted about it. The reply "I didn't think you could afford it". Obviously my man couldn't accept this affront to his ego - oh yes I can and don't be giving me any discount either! To this day he is still not entirely clear what the deal cost him and a change in the market led him to losing shed loads on the car in due course!ORIGINAL: flat6 Hopefully received in the jovial spirit that was intended [] What's going on with Bramley's car[&:].

Now lets not get carried away lads. Calm down Calm down - Just because the Bramley car has gone up in price does not mean to say yours has increased in value. Two ways to look at this. One. You could say compared with my Red Nottingham car the Bramley car by having covered little mileage is worth more. So just think as you are driving your Spyders you are decreasing the value by a thousand £££££££££££££ per thousand miles.[] But you could be realistic before rushing to you insurers to up your value. Two. Currently five cars on Autotrader. One private sale two independent and two Porsche Centre Cars. If you were to buy all five £183.746. So average price coming out at £36.792[:-]
Mine however is far from average!! [] Dublin OPC doesn't count is as it is in a different country - you'll be adding the ones in Germany next!
Rob if yours is far from average that could be taken as below or above[&:] - as you requested I have removed the Dublin car from my previous Autotrader findings and the new maths is below:- Thus making four cars available on Autotrader total price £143.796 So the average price has now fallen (in a morning £843) and an average Spyder is now £35.949[][][][]ORIGINAL: rob.kellock Mine however is far from average!! [] Dublin OPC doesn't count is as it is in a different country - you'll be adding the ones in Germany next!
oh dear - best put the Dublin car back in then! Would go out for a drive this crisp sunny afternoon but at £1 per mile depreciation i'll have to go in reverse!
[][][] I'll put mine on Autotrader and boost the average [][][]ORIGINAL: rob.kellock oh dear - best put the Dublin car back in then! Would go out for a drive this crisp sunny afternoon but at £1 per mile depreciation i'll have to go in reverse!
Careful, someone might snap it up. Nearly 3000 hits on here now, never underestimate the pulling power of the Spyder []
Rob have you seen this discussion on [link=http://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman-boxster-chat/70739-spyder-production-numbers.html]http://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman-boxster-chat/70739-spyder-production-numbers.html[/link] I took my 2011 Spyder to an all German, Father's Day Car show. There were spectacular cars, including a perfect Gullwing, SL's, numerous 911's and 356's, and many rare BMW's. Immediately after I drove in, a crowd flocked around my Guards Red Spyder. People photographed it all day. The more I stood back and looked at my car, the more amazed I was by its good looks. I agree, the Spyder is a fairly rare Porsche that should hold its value pretty well during those early depreciation years. There's got to be some way to get production numbers. I'd love to see a registry started. Unfortunately, many Spyders are already in the hands of second owners. The soft top seems to be the prime reason for selling, from what I can gather.

No, not seen it - I spend enough time on here and Pistonheads, I daren't investigate any more forums! Interesting to see the American terminology - one chap's Spyder came with an "old fashioned tranny" []

Good job I'm not a betting man - car you found is remarkably similar spec To the one daro911 found a few pages back!ORIGINAL: rob.kellock 2405 hits - what have you started with this thread daro911? If I was a betting man, I would wager that the silver car is from Wilmslow OPC - the spec is too unusual with silver, comfy seats, ceramic brakes, satnav and an ultra low mileage as it was sat in their showroom for well over a year! It started out at almost £60k.
Red or silver, PDK or manual, buckets or heated sports seats, red or yellow brake calipers? If you answered mostly A then we recommend Nottingham. It you answered mostly B then we recommend Wilmslow. [] Ceramic brakes and manual box probably clinch it for me. If I was going PDK, I think I'd go 981 instead because it is better.
Sorry Rob I wasn't clear. Manual vs PDK is between the 2 silver ones i.e. the one daro911 saw on PH. Both OPC cars are manual. I'd also go for the Wilmslow car. The alcantara trim and PCCB would attract me[] I 'think' it has PSE even though they don't say. It has chrome exhaust tips (a la PSE) and seems to have a button where the PSE button should be. Doesn't have SC but that can be retro-fitted less the dashboard wart.
Then surely you would have to stump up a further £20k plus and enter an entirely different ball game []ORIGINAL: rob.kellock If I was going PDK, I think I'd go 981 instead because it is better.
