Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!
- Thread starter daro911

Was at a car show at the weekend and the number of people who came up and said never ever seen this model before was staggering .Some said they had seen photos of White ones but never a Red one . In fact got a serious offer from one gentleman who was prepared to give me a deposit on the car there and then after looking at the car for some time he was from the Kendal area and had only ever seen one in the local OPC. Told him to go on the sites and see what was on offer as a mine was not .The problem is what do you replace it with ?? so no need to give these cars away as I think there will always be a buyer out there who will pay top money for a top car .
50k cars next summer imo. Hence me not selling mine, sold too many car to soon and all have gone up .... CSL, Noble, GT3 I sold all those too cheap and all are mega money now for their age. Spyders is only going one way, so don't give them away. Buyers are always waiting, I think what puts people off is the circa 8k price rise they have already had in the last 12 months so people think they have missed out, but then the cars go up and up and they double miss out lol. It's better than money in the bank with todays interest rates, so no point selling up. Just done 1.1k miles in mine in 3 days !!! so now a high miler with 11k on it 
looked better with sub 10k on it.. but you have to also enjoy them.

Just as I was about to get in the car for an afternoon driving the Boxster GTS at Silverstone PEC I get a call from Porsche tellng me that the centre is closed down, all staff have and customers have been evacuated! Apparently someone found an undetonated hand grenade! Oh well, will have to wait a bit longer!
They must've felt like Princesses. Next to no chance of anyone else turning up in the same chariots as them[ORIGINAL: MJB After Porsches On The Prom, Porsches At The Prom. Charlea Purnell and classmate arrive in style courtesy of Les and Ted.[Posted on behalf of Les Purnell].

Future classic unless you let Portsmouth try to fix a rattle in your bucket seats. One of the main factors in selling mine, incompetent to say the least. New car is on the boat, might delay until Sept so it feels quick after kicking around in golf 2.0 diesel for a bit. Manual Golf R is the new toy on a spectacular lease deal imo.
all the lease deals went pear shaped on the R I thought and no one stuck by them, still great deals though, but it's still a hugh boat and offers nothing a Mid engine Porsche can. main reason to sell a Spyder was a seat rattle lol, come off it, the car is one of todays best drivers cars, to swap it for a Golf just says a lot about the what type of car you want to drive, the seat rattle is a poor excuse I am sorry to say.
Erm, I think the R was replacing his daily driver LOL.
There you go again MrD. It was one of the reasons but the one that sticks in my mind, at no point did I compare the GolfR to the Spyder in any context. Not ALL the deals went pear shaped - my lease deal is signed and the car is built. Wanted a car to shift my bike and gear around in, release the equity to clear my mortgage, loan my sister in law a house deposit, big enough for the 3 of us among other things just so you're fully informed.
as I said you did not sell it because there was a rattle in a seat !!! not that I care I just find forums odd what reason people give, then when pushed the real reasons come out ! by the by, enjoy the Golf R , it's a very nice car, and if you managed to get one of the great deals before all the companies pulled them that's all double good.
