Or, with production ending this summer coincident with seasonal upswing in prices, they have hit the bottom of the "slump" now.

• It sure does about BAT
• About PCCB, I would suggest swapping them for steel (GiroDisc makes direct replacements). Save the PCCB rotors for wall art or when you stop tracking the car.
• Regarding track driving, the auto helps with learning the line, learning to drive in traffic and figuring out braking points without having to fuss with the car. Then you can go back and learn with a manual without having to deal with all the other stuff because you'll already have that in the bag. On some tracks you're just in 2&3 the whole time so the trans doesn't even really matter.

Very, very interesting. Thank you for the tips.

I'll look into the GiroDisc replacement rotors. I took a look at their website and it mentions that I can even keep the OEM calipers and pads, which I wasn't expecting!

Neither of those really matter though. They just... don't.

To those of us posting on this board? Yeah, they do. To the market as a whole? Not enough to matter. We're all kidding ourselves if we really think that's the case.

I'm not saying that some of us who buy a manual and/or naturally aspirated car won't find themselves in a situation down the road where they sell at a great price because someone HAD to have a manual and/or naturally aspirated car. Because people like us do exist, and we have money for things we want and are willing to use it.

But when talking about the "market", none of it matters. And you can't really argue with me because the manufacturers themselves are moving away from manual transmissions and naturally aspirated engines. You could possibly argue about the engine part due to environmental restraints... but manuals? Give it up. People aren't buying them.

Also, those of us posting in this forum keep forgetting about these things when talking about how great and rare our manual, naturally aspirated cars are:



They'll be making these for a while, and the people who want them, will buy them. My point is that there aren't as many people who do as we'd all like to think, and that's why they're going away.

Maybe he meant NA and manual Porsche.

This 000 just went for $200K.

Yikes, has to be a 718 Spyder record!

Insane, the other 000 Spyder which is identical minus PCCB's is for sale for 185k with way less miles. I wonder if the exposure on BaT brought new buyers into the 000 realm.

GT325

Was a near perfect spec. Winning bidder has "interesting" history, was the shill in?

TXshaggy

Like any auction, there were at least 2 that saw value to $200 K and wanted it today!

Makes me feel better about the cost of my future Spyder RS

While that is a big number, is that really much different in the potential price the original owner paid after taxes etc? Plus ADM? Probably pretty close. Not like it's selling for a large premium over what was paid.

TXshaggy

Think most people evaluate MSRP to sale price as the rest (taxes, ADM, trades) are variable. Yes, in this market $26K over MSRP is significant; you can check recent BAT Spyders and some didn't even make MSRP.

Certainly a beautiful Spyder, but $80-100K more than the "regular ones?

What in tarnation is that? Did a Honda Accord and a Mustang have a bastard lovechild?

What the hell is a 000 Spyder and what makes it so special?

tl;dr: a pre-approved CXX (Exclusive Manufaktur) package cooked up by @stout (and others at 000 Magazine), comprising alcantata delete, extensive leather upgrades to Ascot Brown leather (ala Carrera GT) below the belt line, and a few more exclusive styling cues to tie it all together. It's about a $45k option package if you're speccing it in 2023.
