More details of my car for sale via this link. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=231&t=1391012&i=999999&nmt=Spyder.%20Any%20for%20sale?
Darrell have copied to here for quicker reference, sound very nice, good luck with the sale! New Spyder for sale. Advert soon to be added with photos but here's the details in the meantime PORSCHE BOXSTER (987 GEN II) SPYDER 2010 A superb 320bhp, ultra lightweight Porsche Boxster Spyder presented in Carrara white, with a very unique specification – almost impossible to find with this combination. Equipped with: 320 bhp, 3.4 litre flat 6 engine 6 speed manual 19" lightweight RS Spyder alloys Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB) Black leather and alcantara carbon Bucket Seats Short shift gears Porsche switchable sports exhaust with a twin stainless tail pipe Leather to door caps and dash Carrera white centre console Porsche Stability Management LSD Wind Deflector This ultra lightweight specification is very rare – unlikely to be more than a handful of cars in this specification from the 200ish cars made by Porsche for the UK market. This was a Porsche GB launch car in 2010 and is the purest specification you can find, staying true to the original concept. The original Porsche concept was to produce a light sports car by using various weight saving techniques. 80kg was shaved off the standard Boxster by using aluminium doors/lids, fitting the lightest wheels Porsche made at the time and removing the radio, air con and electric roof. This car retains that weight advantage unlike many other Spyders that have options fitted that add the weight back in. Registered August 2010 10k miles Fully transferable Porsche warranty until August 2016 Full OPC service history Just had 4 year major service completed including plugs (£1,000+), next service due in 2 years when it will require a much cheaper minor service 12 months MOT – no advisories PCCB – after 4 years & 10k miles current wear levels are 10% rear & 30% front – plenty of life yet. Most people are astonished at the performance of these brakes – they are awesome. HPI Clear Has two sets of keys, all books, manuals, etc. The car has always been garaged under my ownership (on a trickle charger and under cover). An incredible car to own, it was well reviewed when new and since then has been tipped as a "future classic" on more than one occasion by EVO magazine. Values are strengthening month by month as people wake up to the fact that this is one of the best handling cars in the Porsche stable. I'm happy to answer any questions and serious buyers are welcome to view. Price: £45,000 No offers please.
It's been lifted from more than just this advert, but top marks to you for pointing it out - why re-write something when others have already done the job for you [

Another new Spyder to the market - with 46k on the clock and an asking price of £37 I don't think this will be finding a new home in a hurry[] http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201409237621632/sort/default/page/1/postcode/cb249eu/saved-search-id/2c929a0547f89c120147fc357ee40016/model/boxster/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/maximum-mileage/up_to_70000_miles/usedcars/make/porsche/keywords/spyder/maximum-age/up_to_4_years_old?logcode=p

Ignoring the mileage it has a good popular spec its has just one former keeper and the mileage whilst very high "may" have been mainly on motorways as opposed to 1000's of short stop start affairs. Easily checked by reading how many hours the engine has been run to date I think at £32995.00 it might have found a new home quite quickly [:-]ORIGINAL: jdpef356 Another new Spyder to the market - with 46k on the clock and an asking price of £37 I don't think this will be finding a new home in a hurry[
But listed as a 2011 with 40k but it's a 2010 car with 46k when you read the ad. Why do they bother?!ORIGINAL: daro911Ignoring the mileage it has a good popular spec its has just one former keeper and the mileage whilst very high "may" have been mainly on motorways as opposed to 1000's of short stop start affairs.

I think the clue is in their model ie they source cars from the trade they are a trade centre selling all sorts. I would guess this could have been a px at a PC and traded to them because of the mileage etc Either way a trade centre dealing in all and everything never fully understands something like a Spyder unless they have been reading all these pages [
] [] You are right about the mixed messages in the ad of course and not just the age/miles but IMO the price too [] Sure, but they know full well that they are misrepresenting the car in the "headlines" because they set out the correct information in the advert later on. Hardly the mark of a trustworthy dealer IMO.ORIGINAL: daro911I think the clue is in their model ie they source cars from the trade they are a trade centre selling all sorts.
