Yup, you're right, it's back on already! So, 3 cars with an average asking price of £40829...
Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!
- Thread starter daro911
- Start date
Indeed!! New page new pic. Mine, semi-purist spec - all the basics plus music and air - around 4 hours after I took delivery.
Good points but the seats were always down to choice to the individual hence the split probably being 50/50 as much as I wanted buckets both my Spyders ended up with the hot chairs and whilst anyone can be comfy in the sports seats the same can't always be said for the buckets It would be fascinating to know how many so called "purist" spec cars exist and to qualify does it have to be bog standard ex factory spec with all the purist associated sports add ons i.e. sports chrono: sports exhaust: short shift: and that's it you have a purist All I know is there is zero difference in seat of the pants feel between a purist spec Spyder with ceramics and a fat boy with every extra fitted including different alloys
I think the latest Spyder to go on sale with bring the average price down, red one at £31,995 with 911 Virgin - 36,000 miles though.

It looks a stunning car even with the higher mileage at least the previous owner had a good bit of enjoyment out of the car . If it had been PDK i would have had punt on it at least i would not be too concerned in racking up the miles I like the front grills and air intakes painted black .
All I know is there is zero difference in seat of the pants feel between a purist spec Spyder with ceramics and a fat boy with every extra fitted including different alloys Maybe you cannot but I can 
That is like saying you have no idea you have a passenger with you vs being on your own. That's night and day to me, to a point I don't like taking that many people out on track days, the odd ride is ok but having some one in the car really upsets me lol. PCCB is also night and day regarding feel and turn in. My car is set to be another 40+ lbs lighter in the next week or so, and if I could I would fit proper carbon race seats but sprint regs won't let me and would put me in fully modified class over production car road legal class. There must be a equation where every kg saved results in more performance. Weight is key below 90mph, owning a few Lotus and a Noble shows you that, and to a bigger extent having some one in a lotus Elise kills performance.

I must say I don't really notice 80/85kg of an extra passenger around a track much at all. on other cars it does affect performance (more so braking) but with the torque of the 3.4 its hardly noticeable. also for 100% purist spec you need the standard (non sports) exhaust its quite a bit lighter! (yes I have one for sale)

Looks a nice car, in my favourite Guards Red, bet it doesn't last long.
So, roughly £6k price drop for an extra 32000 miles of Spyder fun? Red one at 911V is interestingly priced. 18 pence per mile penalty in its value compared to the white car they just sold. I've never had to pay that much on any of the company lease cars we've had over the years. And yet it looks remarkably cheap compared to the 3 others for sale. Funny old world.
Prob true but for me I am afraid £32k for 36 k miles is too much.my current steed has only 10 k more miles and certainly worth more than half that price to me !! Looks like my spyder dream may be over . Never mind ,the new 991Targa4S looks like a fun piece of kit [

What 911 V car should do is give confidence to the buyer who is unsure if the car is right for him. (Although a short test drive and I believe that most future owners who are in any doubt quickly become smitten). It should confirm that a short period of ownership will not result in any significant way to the value. ie Up Dow or Marking Time! It will also allow someone with a smaller budget than the average a period of ownership. I reckon you own until end of summer and it would not cost you a penny other than running cost. --------------- Not a comparison but just took a look a car Hire (Boxster S) for Three day weekend. http://uk.hertzsupercars.com/vehicles/porsche-boxster-s/ Over £1260.68 £££££££££££££££££ - and X/S mileage charges! [] Yes just 3 days in Jan not a week! Its almost a no brainier.[]

John if you want a 981 S for a weekend pop down to your local PC who will be eager to accomodate if he can possibly smell a potential sale on the horizon[ORIGINAL: jdpef356 What 911 V car should do is give confidence to the buyer who is unsure if the car is right for him.

][] Just check the OPC Used Car Locator and see how many almost new DV are on their for sale and all P.O.A.[] Now Porsche has gone into VAG mass production is the name of the game and residuals have definitely gone south unless you have something niche from the brands sports cars choices [&o] As you rightly say any potential Spyder buyer can possibly now get into one and back out again should it not rotate there wheels [] and still have there funds pretty much intact. How many cars out there today can you say that about whilst delivering so much fun for relatively speaking little money too[] If that's the same car then it was under £30k just over a year ago. Amazing that it can have more miles, get older, and nonetheless be asking (and will most likely get) more money. Anyone thinking of really sticking some miles on their Spyder should snap that car up - I reckon that £/mile it would be the best value Spyder (compared to putting 10k on a garage queen that you've paid a premium for).ORIGINAL: daro911That car has been sold before with less miles and below £30k if I recall correctly so now with more owners/mileage it seems to suggest the Spyder market is definitely hardening in year 4 [
