Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

I just wonder that you won't get more pleasure out of that than a 430 you'd be scared to use/ leave anywhere? Just a thought...
yes keeping it for another year, Just spending circa 3k on it when I did 1k miles the last 12 months is annoying. I am half thinking taking it out the OPC network, no warranty and get my Local Porsche indy to do a service for about £300. I would never find another car in this spec looking at what's for sale, if people could spec no humps they would do !!! If any single car will be a Classic and command the future values imo I own it ;-) that's what stops me selling it to be truthfull, I could never come back and buy one without any of the Spyder bits. It's a once in a life time buy in this spec now, you have more chance finding a GT3 RS4.0 or a 73 RS of which 2 or 3 are for sale if you have the money. Porsche press car and the car spec which is in all the nice hard back books, never to be found again imo. If I put it up for sale it would no doubt leave the UK to some collection. when you look at piston heads, all you read about is, AC fail, seats failing, battery failing , electrics failing, PCM faulty etc etc As my car has none of that even to go wrong/replace is it worth having a £1.1k service and a 1k warranty on it, I am not so sure. I need oil change £30 (got it at Halfords on the last mega deal) filter and a set of plugs ffs. As for the battery, I cannot wait to swap the Moll POS out to a nice light weight race unit.
If you feel that strongly about your cars future classic status and who says you are wrong then don't drop out of OPC network for servicing to end up penny wise pound foolish[&o] Any classic car with a full dealer service history would be another rare and priceless add on to the ultimate one off spec you believe to have when you finally sell for a six figure sum[
][] For 1000 miles a year do what I do and forget the warranty and underwrite any repairs at an Indy from your own sinking fund In past 16 years I have done exactly that and not spent a single pound on repairs and my previous Boxster S was 6 years old when sold for the Spyder but under 15k miles[]

So what is a Porsche Classic? Food for thought. Take a look at the following Photos of this years Classics at the Castle - Hedingham:- http://www.sportscardigest.com/porsche-classics-at-the-castle-2013-report-and-photos/ Not a Spyder in site but come twenty odd years the Spyder could well make an appearance in the line up[]

If there is no 981 Spyder then I think we can safely suggest circa 2023 for jnr classic statusORIGINAL: jdpef356 So what is a Porsche Classic? Food for thought.
