Spider RS

[Porker911gts]

Hi All

just wanted to gather any thoughts people have on the Spyder RS.

I currently have a Boxster GTS 4.0, previously owning 991.2 GT3 and a few other 911’s along the way.

absolutely loving the Boxster in terms of size, ride quality and performance if the normally aspirated engine, a really great car.

I am considering a Spyder RS, but with no luck with an OPC allocation looking at a used example. I have noticed, like the gt4 RS prices coming down a fair bit since launch with some now in the £160 to £170 and thinking it may be best to wait for a bit longer to see where these settle, particularly once in the throws of autumn and winter, maybe moving into the £140’s.

any views welcome along with any owner views on the ride quality on b roads and whether the roof is as bad as the you tube reviews suggest.

many thanks

gareth

Oddly enough Gareth, I took GF to an OPC yesterday where there was a second-hand one and suggested I would p/ex my 718 Spyder if they would take a deposit off me for a new one!
Sales guy very politely rebuffed the suggestion whilst we were stood next to it being about £30k over list. He did say they would never lose their value. Yeah, only for the privileged one preferred by the organisation!
I wonder how any of those who bought for £50k to £80k over list last year now feel?
