What's interesting is that last summer 911V sold a red, 35k mile car for £29,995 straight away. So they think a similar car has increased in value by £1k.... I don't think that will hang around long at all. ETA in fact I think it could be the same car? [/quote] Hi billy1 are you considering making a bid on the 911V bargain or are you the seller [ORIGINAL: billy1
] If anyone isn't put off by buying a nicely run in 35k miler this is a great piece of kit for the money today

The one I drove was a manual, but after a short test drive in a 991 PDK, I think it'd only be the brilliant 2nd gen PDK that I would miss.ORIGINAL: rob.kellock Beware Spydermen's arch nemesis... The evil Doctor SS model with PDK, PASM, 20 inch alloys and a few other goodies. I cannot believe that Bolton OPC have been kind enough to lend me their 5 day old 100 miles "new addition to the fleet" as a courtesy car. It is very impressive.
We don't do 'weekend' cars both our Porsche's are our daily drives. My wife's car is the only car we are going to swap out and that is morphing into a GT3/3RS or 997TT her choice, my orange machine is a 'keeper'. The red offering looks honest enough and much better than the white one I have seen with the black wrapped bits for a similar price....... very scary offering!!!! I am sure Henry wont have it long.ORIGINAL: flat6 Are you tempted Nick?[
] Meanwhile, we have another OPC car and they are asking as much for earlier car as for a newer one. That's what we like to see. I suppose on such a short production run, age aint nothin but a number[] Wheels are painted in metallic. Haven't noticed that before.

Nothing, the Spyder is miles better [
] Anyone want to make me a bid for it before prices go through the roof? [][][] I did like the electric hood it must be said. I also prefer the look of the interior. I prefer the ride comfort but it all comes at a price. Dare I say I'd spec a manual box? I think PDK could lose me my licence. In a manual you have to make a conscious decision to keep accelerating, for example floor it in second, you can choose exactly when to change up to third, take your foot off the gas and make a conscious decision how hard to put your foot down again, repeat as required. In the PDK car floor it in second and it goes ballistic, drops it to 1st and it's barp, barp, barp, barp and you are speeding. The Spyder's noisy roof keeps me in check on motorways too.] Cayman still looks good. It's baffling that the lower rear boot space seems shorter front to rear, even if the overall volume is said not to be any less. Sitting in the car and looking to the rear, it seemed bigger, longer behind there, than the old Cayman. But i'd need to check out the old one again to be sure. There was a nice white Cayman S Sport on display, owned by a customer. The 987 shape still looks good. That car is more the little rebel, than the bigger looking new one. But that's just it the new one looks bigger isn't. They're really clever these designers aren't they. Not great pics but, considering the sleek rear lights & tapered rear of the 991 vs the stylish spoiler-extending rear lights & funky pinched rear of the 981, which one wins 'rear of the year'? I think you can guess which way i'm edging and it's not what I thought i'd think before seeing them together in the metal. Without doubt, IMHO, the 'front of the month'[] and also the 'side of the times'[&:] goes to the Cayman though. 
RE: Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPC's! - 14/10/2012 14:39:22  [/quote[8D]] The speed limit recommended with the roof up is 120mph,but Just thought I mention that speed art have brought out a hard top it is painted in black but they will match any colour,it is around £4.5k. Am not sure whether many owners will want to invest in this option. But it will enable Spyders to keep up on the autobahns with other Boxster's [

That and you can't open the rear boot when it's fitted! Flat6, I am apalled - getting a second view of the Cayman indeed. Have you got tickets for Chester or Leeds, I may need a second view of champagne and totty too [
