Although the overall cost to change is high it is offset by the values of spyders rising , so I will just enjoy, any relatively new luxury car will cost 10k or more in depreciation over 3 years. The spyder values are an added bonus on top of the fact it is a truly great car to drive and enjoy!!
Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

- Start date
Going to grab a two seater of some description for the wife to drive when the Spyder sells. MX5 or 1 series cab or similar. Will run around in her diesel golf until my golf R lease arrives in July, sell the diesel and who knows then.ORIGINAL: daro911Sorry to see you leaving so soon ....what's on the menu next and how much will your 12k miler be up for[]
Not quite sure where she'd find the time for an affair! The hours she puts in at the infant school are legit, it's a mess with OFSTED and local LEA inspectors all over it at the moment. Without them, it's always been a 10-12 hour day for the 20 years she's taught. Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean it isn't real. You can be wrong MrD, one day you might even admit itORIGINAL: MrDemon12-14 hours days lol is she having an affair ! I would look into thatORIGINAL: VvrooomMCarry on living in your bubble MrD. A teacher earns £30k as full time childcare for 30 kids. They deserve every penny, and why shouldn't they strike to protect their pension? My wife puts in 12-14 hour days. In at 7.45, regularly never gets a break yet alone lunch as they call a meeting and eat while working. Often still planning and marking at 10pm. All for 30k and a pretty pitiful pension. Good job I have one of the best final salary schemes still in existence - before you ask I'd happily strike to protect it. Might be a few airport delays if we do.ORIGINAL: MrDemon I know, every one things self employed is great, but no holidays and no pension are issues now getting more serious now I am 44. Does my head in public sector people striking because they want a high pension or it,s been frozen a few k. And yes I would be miffed as people join the public sector for a jolly, lol But public sector workers have been taking the piss for ages, wecome to the real world. Not that I think they still have a clue about the real world mind you ! I lived with a teacher for 3 years and then went out with another one, it's a jolly I tell you
Congratulations Mayhem! You are 1 of 1 on here so responsibility is high on you to maintain an aqua blue Spyder presence for us[8D] Tom, well done on completing a sale almost as quick as mine[]. Let there be no more under-valued Spyders on your forecourt[]. I have to say that Daro's low mileage, well optioned, pristine example was offered too cheaply. You'll see on here that there's as strong a demand for the generously optioned cars as there is for the stripped back spec. Looking at your website and online reputation you're clearly a very reputable dealer who diligently checks and prepares your cars, so go forth and be bold with Spyder prices []as clearly people will recognise and buy these premium cars from you[]. I say it for your benefit as well as ours (oops! I'm forgetting I don't have one anymore!! [:-] ). Sorry to those who are trying to buy one[X(]

I'm not saying I want the blue car for £3X,XXX. IMHO Tom has priced it fairly given today's market. I'm saying that for me buying a 12K mile white car for example and running it for say 2 years and putting say 10K miles on it would suffer less depreciation that paying a premium for a blue or red 4K miler and turning it into a 14K miler over time. No-one gets as excited about 14-20K milers to pay £40K for one and Spyder buyers are a funny breed and crave cars that a virtually unused, because plenty of cars come up for sale with less than 10K miles, so 15-20K looks high even though it's very low mileage for the year. Ties in with what MrD says about some people having them as 2nd or 3rd cars - the mileages stay very low.Shrewd buyers will buy a 15-25K miles car for reasonable money and pick up a perfect car[] So the blue car is not for me because I wouldn't embarrass myself or insult Tom by saying "I'll give you £37K for it" when the car will clearly sell for more. I would look for a car that should sell for £37K, drive it as much as I like (and I like to drive mine a lot) and probably sell it for £34K down the line if the spec is nice and the demand for Spyders still remains. Kenneth, I did drop you a mail asking about your car but don't know if you got it.... EDIT EDITED AGAIN[&o] [/quote] Hi Flat 6 sorry for delay in getting back to you as I said a few pages back I'm only thinking about selling the Spyder at moment, testing the water you could say, here's the spec reg 10/Jan/11 Black, 19" Carrera sport wheels, bi-xenon with dynamic cornering lights, gaurds red inst dials, floor mats, painted headlamp cleaning system covers, PCM, including navigation, PDK, sound package plus, sports chrono plus, sports bucket seats, PSE, telephone module, three spoke sports wheel with paddles, universal audio interface, wheels painted black, 8450 miles, Porsche warranty to Jan 2016 Immaculate condition throughout For further info please email me, didnt get last email Kenny Spyder.

Exciting times for sure... If you buy a 911 you'll miss being the centre of the vibe on here...

Which element do you disagree with Wobert?[

flat6 easy for me to say as I have had the 911 experience 5 times but when I went, straight from a morning session in the then brand new just launched 997 GTS PEC event, around the corner to OPC Silversone to test drive a used Spyder they had for sale so literally back to back experience it only took me a few miles / sMiles to realise for my weekend thrills the Spyder ticked more boxes than the then double the price GTS On the other hand your need for speed with more chairs may dictate your next motoring call [8D] Either way you are always welcome here as you probably have done the most miles in all weathers in your ex Spyder
I dare say that mid-engined gives more smiles and some day Porsche will regret not exploiting the platform a bit more which would sell millions of units and make them even more $$billions. As much as the RWD 911 fanatics shun the AWD 911s, I think the surefootedness will give more smiles per mile for someone as lead-footed as I but I think you're right about the Spyder being sublime. I drove one at PEC back to back with a C4S and the Spyder was a little more confidence inspiring. I think it was a combination of its agility, less weight transfer under cornering and braking and being a little down on power to get out of shape. Currently thinking of going turbo rather than GTS so that thrill of the agility of the Spyder will at least be replaced by the thrill of that engine!
ORIGINAL: kitchensYou have got us all wrong we would't tell you to BUZZ off .we would use stronger words [ORIGINAL: flat6For sure[
I'm tempted to test out the theory[][][][] Here's a starter lol! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J91fWJTN90
Sorry, been a bit of a busy day. All I meant was that putting 10/20k miles on the blue car won't kill it's value, it's always going to be very desirable. Good hunting!!ORIGINAL: flat6 Which element do you disagree with Wobert?[
