Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Time will tell I already won a bet from 2012 on 2014 SPyder prices and was spot on back in 2012 on PH with a few who said what was said. we will see next Spring what prices bring. A lot depends of what the 981 Spyder will be I guess which might make it stick or might rocket the price. The GT4 will NOT change R prices imo. As I don't have a new 981 Spyder pic, have this :)

ORIGINAL: MrDemon I still think the PDK market is now very slow for a 987.2 Spyder. And I still think the 987.2 manuals will be £55k this year if not next. the auto box from year dot has never sold well 2nd hand down the line, most sales on this thread are PDK owners moving on to newer things. Not die hards who want a fun drivers car for the weekend and now feel to old to get into a Elise. The market is big for cars which feel more real and prices will reflect that going forward. Is there even a manual bucket seated car for sale today with spyder wheels ? you just don't see them come up these days

We've seen plenty of manual cars and PDK cars come up for sale. I won't enter the manual vs PDK debate[:)]. It's as if no Spyder owner on any forum is representative of the demographic[:)]. Some who have a manual car with buckets talk up the increased demand for their cars while the demographic owning these cars on forums are driving all variants. A collector may well want the brochure spec of manual and buckets, but at present, collectors are few and far between and for most owners it seems to be their only sports car and they sell it to get their next toy rather than keep it and buy more and more cars alongside it. Just my opinion of course. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
 
Cool pics daro!!! I agree the GT4 does look great. I think it'll be Porsche's best new introduction since the Spyder and probably get into their top 10 cars of the decade.

Butch: Why don't we enlist - go fight the Spanish - you and me in the war? We've got a lot of things going for us: experience, maturity, leadership. I bet we'd end up officers. I'd be Major Parker... Sundance: Parker? Butch: Yeah, that's my real name - Robert Leroy Parker. Sundance: No foolin'?...Mine's Longbaugh. Butch: No foolin'? Long- what? Sundance: Harry Longbaugh. Butch: So you'd be Major Longbaugh. Whaddya say? Sundance: You just keep thinkin', Butch. That's what you're good at.

Good first look at the GT4 in April's EVO Magazine.
 
Cranked up the volume.... Clearly my expectation was a little too high..... did that sound particularly special then? [8D] My expectations were based on hearing this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MkpTyMNV8E

I agree I really like the GTS soundtrack which offends some on "hear"
 
Love the roof and bonnet lines on the new RS. I think I prefer the 997.2 however as it looks a lot smaller and more tightly packaged. Only in a Spyder as couldn't afford a RS without selling an organ. Was looking late 2013 at a 997.1 rs in black and orange for around £70k. Will have to work my nuts off over the next couple of years if I want to get myself into one with prices now!
 
Just put a deposit down for the new spyder Spoke with my local dealer and they didn't know anything about the new spyder other than they were expecting a new boxster variant but had no details. Nobody else had put a deposit down with them so they said ill be be first on their list. Just got to wait now and see what porsche come up with then decide if i want to go ahead or not. I think ill be keeping my 987 spyder what ever happens though.[:D]
