I still need to come by and see how my big *** fits in the buckets.

120k With fee is generous in this market for that sticker....So I would pass and find something elsewhere.

Remember you'll have to shell out another 6k on top of the price.

@MaddMike I feel your pain. We’re looking to retire in western NC in late 2026, and decent access to a mountain home is number two on my list of must haves. Which doesn’t work at all with number one, which is year round long range mountain views. I’ve already accepted that the Spyder might have to be stored someplace nearby, but those facilities are hard to find.

I have solved for this problem. Have a mountain home with two garages-six car capacity. Sits at base of Blue Ridge, about 7 miles to the BRP. This home has beautiful views and landscape but not mountain top vistas and not the harsh site conditions.. The home is also far better suited to handle adverse winter weather. Three Porsches in a climate controlled garage. Conveniences nearby without any hazardous road conditions. Put your house in the base camp at foot of mountains or lower elevations. Then buy a minimal cabin up top for the big views and mountain climbing when conditions permit. This will give you everything you want and life will be vastly easier as you age. Being 80 and climbing a mountain property will be not your dream.

For that price it'd be nice if it had PDLS at least

9 SRS on the Canadian Porsche Finder now. 6 flippers and 3 new on the dealer lots. By contrast 11 4RS, 2 new 9 used.

I actually think $125k is at market. Plus 7.5% = $134k. For me, it's probably another $3k shipping and then PPF, oh and OAM+Cargraphic. So we're at like $147k before tax. ouch.

CarGuy07

$125K is a bit high for that car, but not crazy. It’s got base seats vs 18-way or buckets, and non-LED headlights. Not a high build overall. There was a similar car at Porsche Fort Collins with manual and buckets for $125K asking and they were good with $122K.

porsche plano had a similar car with PDK that was lowered from $125K to $122K asking it sat there for about 6 weeks. Both were CPO cars. All this is to say I don’t understand BaT pricing when you can buy CPO cars from dealers at lower prices.

AdamIsAdam

Agreed, CPO for same money is better than BaT.

I like the base seats and would order headlight-delete if I could! (LOL)

I'll keep looking. I may also start considering 981 Spyders since I fell in love with my 981 BGTS. Seems like $95k buys a REALLY nice 981 Spy, some are even CPO.

CarGuy07

I considered going that route. Only thing is I prefer PDK which wasn’t available on 981 Spyder and that the looks/curves on it are a bit more softer compared to sharper creases on 718 which I prefer.

AdamIsAdam

I'm a manual guy, so PDK is not an issue for me. I do get it about the lines.

Has anyone driven both cars that wants to share their insights?

In comparing my new-to-me 981 Boxster GTS vs my `22 CGTS, I now find the softer sprung 981 more enjoyable. And it did INCREDIBLY well in the Tail of the Dragon Smokey Mountains.

So, house sellers were being sketchy and refusing to release the findings of a pre-inspection, listed the house as a four bedroom when it was legally a three due to septic, and overpriced based on comps in the area. So, that house and its gravel hill are no longer in the running.

I love this spec: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...icle/725746105

You know part of you is happy because of this. Now tell your realtor what your requirements really are so you can avoid this kind of Sophie's choice.

250 LOL He'll be lucky to get 200 as a private party. Maybe 205-210 if he finds another private party that is over the moon excited....but I doubt it

He needs to sell it yesterday if he cares about the money. Which listing that high....tells me he does
