Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

[Stuartelec]

Will Do, it does seem like a strange letter to send.

I had it a few times with the Spyder. It doesn't mean they'll offer you a great price for it though. I would follow up out of interest. Can't hurt.

 

[Stuartelec]

Will look into it when i get home, It would be interesting to see how much they offer though.

It's just a way of getting you into the showroom. I've had half a dozen over recent years.

I have never purchased from a dealer - in my life! The going rate for Private Spyder sale seems to be in the region 40lk plus.[] With PC overstocked think what a deal you could knock out if you walked in with 40k cash![] Be intresting to see what they offered? Also ask about SOR.

ORIGINAL: Stuartelec Morning all, thought i would ask you all a quick question, Had a letter from Porsche OPC asking about buying my car, they put that they are looking for stock especially Boxster, They seem to have a lot of Boxsters and Caymans for sale. Is this a general enquiry they send out and have some of you received them or would they perhaps have someone looking for my spec Spyder?

I think it's a standard ploy to hopefully tempt you into buying a new or used stock car from them today especially a 981 which if you check on the used car locator seem to be plenty to choose from 166 Boxsters 156 Caymans 281 911's

If it's the normal come on letter I think you will find it will be depressing more than interesting []

The car looks great Rocket. Reminds me of this car I saw at Silverstone Classic last year.

It would be quite a coup, i think they will offer a lot less though. Will have a look at current prices and then see what they come up with, I suppose, if you have the spec that someone desires then it wont be long before its sold. I would expect porsche offer a low price and then put it on the forecourt for £45,000.

I 'think' when they're buying a car from you without at the same time selling you a car that they can fleece you on, you'll get a true reflection of what they expect to pay to source your car. A part-ex value is always skewed by the profit in the car they're selling you and how they manoeuvre your part-ex value within that to make you feel good.

Thanks and it feels fantastic too [] Any Spydermen going to this event http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=837927

Something a bit different. Was admiring this PTS Gulf Blue Targa. The Targa 4S is too compromised for me to choose it for myself but i'd welcome it as a car for the other half (not meant in a condescending way) that I could borrow from time to time on a nice day or right occasion (but at over £99K it ain't gonna happen!) Roof was down in the morning. By the time I got back in the afternoon the roof was up as it was sold.

i am just curious if Porsche would do a PTS Gulf blue with an orange stripe etc. after all how many people can say they have a true Gulf Porsche

For money they do anything [] Might be 6 months delivery lead time extra whatever current lead time is but you should be good to go Gulf/Orange Stripe

Was it Brian that posted some pics of a a couple of PTS 981s at an OPC. One was orange and one was blue and I think one or both had coloured edging on the wheels. Looked pretty cool
