That price seems high given no sport buckets / PDK and no CPO. I know the buckets don't add anything to the base price but when I was shopping the cars with the above features appeared to be priced higher then the cars without. Regardless of whether one wants PDK or not it adds inherent value on resale. That a pretty unique color that will probably sell the car regardless of price.

I was thinking the same thing. The colour looks really nice though.

Funny how you can find spyder with manual transmissions and regular seats, or spyders with buckets and pdk.. But darn it if spyders with manual and buckets are rare as hen's teeth.

When I ordered mine, I didn't know any better. I thought the buckets were too difficult to get in and out and I was planning to drive on the street more than the track. I ended up buying GT2 seats shortly there after and I kept them for my GT3. This was my first porsche and I had to go through this process on my own to really learn. In hindsight, I could have bought a GT3 RS new and saved a lot of money. Haha.

Can anyone help decode an "R"? I see the build sheet 64 litre gas, and sport chron; with no mention of suspension features. Pictured on the console is a "sport" button, does this equal PASM on earlier M/Y?

I believe Rs are lowered 10 mm, are lighter due to some interior cuts, and I believe some exhaust modification as witnessed by a button nest to the sport button. It would help to have some specs from Porsche, does anyone know where one could find this?

Thanks in advance.

Vesuvio is spectacular—had a ‘99 996 coupe. Really changes in light.

So in 2014 its listed for $67,xxx with 8k miles
Currently its listed for $59,999 with 19,500 miles.
Not a lot of depreciation in 6 years!
What do folks think this is worth now? Seems like finding some buckets to swap out for the sofas wouls really male the car special...
