That is true. It would put me off. Also the short warranty. And the finance needing to be cleared sounds like a hassle. Maybe someone who wants a red one might jump on it and negotiate accordingly. There probably aren't any red seekers this week. As MrD says, the same car at 911V would sell very quickly. No doubt it will end up there if they leave it with a curbed wheel etc! 911V will prep it correctly and sell it swiftly too, but it'll cost you more...ORIGINAL: spyderwhiteIt sounds to me it hasn't been looked after!curbed wheel on a £40k car !You would have that fixed before sale or not curbed it in the first placeORIGINAL: philnotts99Its nice, but why hasn't it been snapped up yet?!ORIGINAL: daro911This one must surely fit the garage space [] http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/porsche/boxster-987-05-12/porsche-boxster-987-gen-ii-spyder-2011/2249445?isexperiment=true FPSH I'm the second owner and the car has covered 7200 miles.

I see a competition going on, who's got the lowest mileage Spyder......
Well spotted flat6 I have done 600 miles since taking delivery off my brother back in December so I better slow up otherwise spyderwhite will be well below me come the autumn [ORIGINAL: flat6 Daro, you can't take the credit though, you've probably done 30% of that mileage in the short time you've had it. You'll soon be abusing it up to the heady heights of 2000 miles if you don't calm down[:-]

Roughly half as many PDK owners vs manual owners in our sample. But there's roughy 3/4 the amount of PDK cars relative to manual. OK, there are lies, more lies, and then there's statistics[
]. What does this tell us other than there are fewer PDK owners and fewer PDK cars available; there are more manual owners but more manual cars available, so each transmission might have a balance of supply an demand? If either one was to have the market advantage, might it be manual, as PDK might have a small delta between supply and demand (75% of cars supplied to the used market are PDK, 50% of owners are PDK). But then lets assume that because many cars sold don't turn up on enthusiast forums the small delta of PDK cars supply to demand is absorbed in our margin of error? OK, OK, there are lies, more lies, and then there's statistics[] There isn't a pile of PDK cars waiting to find homes. There are fewer PDK cars and fewer PDK owners and it all seems to be balancing out. Now all we need is Tom at 911V to tell us if either transmission pulls in a little bit more income than the other when doing deals, or does each individual car sell on merit, to the right buyer for the car, regardless of transmission[8|] Spydermen: daro911 Spyder number 1 Transmission: manual

More than that I think. That 'finance' bit needs sorting out imo - who is going to hand over that amount of money for something the person doesn't actually own? Nothing to do with what it is worth. Had that been mine and I was trying to sell it, the wheels would be refurbed and the car professionally detailed (and it wouldn't have finance on it). I'd have it up for £40k and expect to get it. A dealer get's their hands on that and it will be more than what it is now.
The finance isn't an issue IMO, bought my Spyder from a private seller and I settled a big outstanding finance bill on it. That's the key, don't hand over the money to the seller but deal direct with the finance company and pay any balance to the seller. Just make sure you're with the car at the point you do settle the finance, wouldn't want it to go missing!
Agree 100%. Bought my previous 911 privately. After we had agreed numbers, the seller explained there was finance on it. No issue for me at all. Paid the finance off, got a receipt, paid him the balance, everybody happy.
I agree that it's worth more than £35K but presented as it is, why should one pay more when if it was at 911V for say £40K it would be fully prep'd to tiptop condition, have a longer warranty period etc. The seller selling it as it is should not expect good return without any effort. There's also the wonky panel I mentioned a few pages back. No doubt a straight car under there though.
Would've rather bought VvrooomM's mint car at his asking price than the red one at its asking price. I'd pay less for the red one as is than I'd pay for VvroooooomM's[ORIGINAL: VvrooomMTrying to find that happy medium against the dealer prices. Due to spec and warranty and new tyres, I'm going to suggest. £37,995 with a little wriggle room unless the experience on here advises otherwise. Thoughts?ORIGINAL: daro911VvrooomM what will the price be[
