Another indicator of a cooling market.
RNM at $84K, MSRP $96.5k.
Color, miles, time of year, or just a declining market?

Seller did provide DME after the auction ended (22 ignition in range 1 over 10k miles and ~970 engine hours - VAL report does not show any of the other ranges, which I assume means they were never triggered).
A little anxious about the color combo, as it's hard to assess in pictures, but after watching many videos I think we will love it - this will be a mostly fun car so loud color seem fitting.
Not too worried about the engine replacement, especially given the remaining 2 years of warranty (should I be?).
Any tips on Porsche specifics to inspect in person are welcome (beyond regular used car assessment).
I drove a Cayman R on track few years back, and that memory has haunted me in good ways ever since - Glad to finally be able to get a Cayman of my own, my first Porsche!

I was the last bidder on that car and worked out a private deal with the seller. I am flying out with my wife to pick it up tomorrow, should everything go well when seeing the car in person.

Just got a call from Jack Daniels porsche in NJ that they have a spyder on its way in. Was an unexpected extra vehicle from porsche. I had called them last summer and they're going down their list. Don't know pricing or options, but if anyone is looking ...

can you elaborate on that a bit? Originally I was going to just stick with the base climate control system but ended up speccing 2-zone due to feedback here on the forum and in person, but I honestly still don't know the difference between the two other than 2-zone getting...well...2-zone and numbers instead of lines.

The other is a throwback to the 60s. You control the fan speed and the hot/cold mixer.

I don't have the two zone and I find it to be absolutely fine. I don't really fiddle with temp/fan settings a ton anyways. Especially not in my weekend fun/track car. Happy to save the few hundred bucks. Just my opinion. I know some people say they wouldn't buy the car without the 2 zone climate control.

I'm also weirdly picky about how I want my climate control to work. I don't want to hear my fan, but I want there to be slightly noticeable airflow. I don't want my car to just shoot to the temp I want it to be at, I want it to gradually get there whether its heat or cold. Hence why I never use the automatic setting as the car just wants to get to that temp as fast as possible and all the noises and fan speeds annoy the hell out of me.

I decided to go with the ghetto AC version. I didnt have this feature in my S2000, and I always felt like Dual Zone control was a little suspect in small 2 seater cabins - I managed just fine. I also have a quirk with having all digital readouts being equal in my cars, and I never let the passengers in my current car adjust the zone controls.
I could swear I read a post from another thread discussing how one can only use an additional function/feature (forget which was discussed) unrelated to the AC, but you had to have spec'd Dual Zone. Whatever it was made m think twice about no specking the Dual Zone... but it is what it is. I also didnt spec heated seats... if my seats are too cold, that must mean I'm not driving the car hard enough
IMO, this being an option vs. standard equipment is poor form by Porsche, but at least they made Apple Carplay "standard"- which will be way more useful than AC controls.
Makes me wonder if all systems are the same underneath, and all the non Dual Zone owners have to do is get some coding done??

i got the dual zone, but always use it in manual mode. only reason i would take advantage of the upgrade is the 8% of the time when my wife is in the car…we seem to prefer different temps 99.3% of the 27% of the time we have it on. so, like, once a year the dual zone is important. totally worth it!

Dual Zone has one primary function,which is automatic temperature control. Set the temp to 75, and the computer will add/subtract based on ambient temp sensors.
Running the driver side at 65, and the passenger at 85 will result in a 75deg cabin temp - which I always thought was ridiculous, and why I NEVER let anyone dictate their own temp. Instead, I ask "is the temperature comfortable for you?" . If not, I will change it to their liking and cope on my end.
