Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

As the man says - another good find! The black car looks nice but strong money for a private sale? No 2 year OPC warranty etc. Mind you, compared to Rob's find, it's a bargain! A busy day in the web!
And here's one for you Rob. I know you're a GT3 fan[

Pics like this one should come up, some with, some without a GT3 alongside the Spyder. http://0.static.wix.com/media/e772dc_8cfe09c1998fea886410585edd54413b.jpg_512

you are in charge of pictures & videos .... great pictures ... well done AGAIN!
Cheers buddy. Yes, when the car reaches cult status, which is hopefully long before classic status, we should have our own register[ORIGINAL: daro911flat6 when we get a Spyder ForumORIGINAL: flat6 And here's one for you Rob. I know you're a GT3 fan[
] (I think that link works on a PC but not on a mobile device - gets redirected to their mobile site which then goes off to a different page[&:])Brilliant find John. I hope Monkey Harris buys one - that will re-ignite all the "Spyder - should you or shouldn't you" debates on PH etc. Just looked at the comments that follow the story. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=23&t=1244784&nmt=RE%3A+You+Know+You+Want+To%3A+Porsche+Boxster+Spyder#topicTop Not much has changed. There's those who would never buy such a car who have stronger opinions about how the roof performs, than those who actually have the car and have no problem with it. It was the same back in 2010 when the car was in the hands of a few owners who were very happy with it and more comments coming from people who didn't have one, who were convincing themselves that they had made the right decision not to buy one. If one can't live with the manual roof or the wind noise, then one can't live with the manual roof or the wind noise[
] Apart from a recall of I think 9 cars for a faulty latch, I haven't seen any major roof issues being discussed on the web apart from wind noise.
These few points are so on the money IMO [] For a limited run machine which happens to be one of the best drivers' cars the company has made in the past decade, they look good value to me. There's a strong argument for saying it's the sweetest road car Porsche has made in a while: small enough to be threadable, fast enough to not infuriate. Making a judgment on driving experience versus cost, that must make the Boxster Spyder one of the best value used cars out there. And to underline John's wish list I would like a red one with silver wheels, but no such car is currently for sale. So of the available stock, I think this black one looks jolly appealing.

I was a bit surprised at his comment about trade values now being into the twenties, which doesn't seem to square with the prices I see being asked. Mind you, asking and getting are not the same! I also agree with his summary about it being the sweetest car Porsche make. Although I much prefer my Cayman to any Boxster I've tried, I preferred the Spyder to the Cayman R.
Yes I'm really up against it - but one day![ORIGINAL: daro911 These few points are so on the money IMO [
