Not only nice but pretty much in line with my drive of the new beast and what a pleasant change no mention of the bloody gear ratios :ROFLMAO:

 
Pricing is, as you say, holding up. However there are more cars for sale than there has been, probably with owners getting ready for their new Spyders. With so many cars for sale it will be interesting to see if prices hold over the next few months.

With 15 cars on PH and 6 of these cars are from an OPC with 2 years warranty etc this is going to be a very long hard winter for those sitting on high priced stock - We haven't seen this sort of stock availability since early 2012!when the cars were younger lower miles fewer owners and the prices began with a 3

Safe to say the Spyder bubble seems to have come to a sudden and sharp end IMO [:eek:]

 
Well the two Manual R's with buckets sold in a week at OPC's leaving only 1 Manual Bucket seated car on the market, these car shift like hot cakes in the right spec.

the best OPC Spyder is my Local Leicester OPC, very nice spec low mile example, will be interesting to see how that sells. (being the only manual , bucket seated car for sale at an OPC)

The market will pick up Spring 2016 like it always has, the Spyder is still one of Porsche best cars, and every instructor at Pec loves them.

My OPC say they did not mind sitting on it.

but for the 1st time there are a choice of cars for all buyers inc 4 or 5 manuals with buckets, some still at £50k though.

 
Glad I sold mine when I did that high price car has been on the market for months!imo a low miles (less than 10k)manual top spec spyder/cr is about £45-47k and every thing else on a sliding scale down to circa £35k for high miles low spec.

good cars do sell quick at a lower price ie a low miles manual cr good spec etc sold quickly not to long ago at £40k he could have put it up for £45-6 but it would have taken 5-6 weeks to sell!

 
What you have to bear in mind is that autumn/winter is not a good time to sell convertible cars, real test will be spring next year, clearly a lot of 987 spyder owners upgrading to 981 ones, wether long term that will be a mistake only time will tell!!

 
No lock down date yet, and still told Oct build !!!!

Is this usual Porsche experience, or has the whole Spyder GT4 process been a bit of a mess ??

 
My lock down was supposed to be today, but no official news yet.

It's been October build for a while now so not sure if there's any real 'mess' to speak of, other than it was originally supposed to be July build I think.

A friend with a 918 didn't have a brilliant 'Porsche Experience' recently with delayed delivery and very little info etc, although Porsche did give him a new RS to drive around in for a few weeks.

Confusing [&:]

I think the 981 Spyder looks better in black than the 987, am I alone?
Sounds better in black than a 987 :ROFLMAO:
