You aren’t going to convince a dealer to accept an auction price so if that’s your goal then you should just be realistic. Only way you can hope to get a price down is deal with a private seller and even then you’re competing against others who don’t mind offering 5-10k above an auction price if it’s the right car. It can be done but will require lots of work and patience with private seller cars. Also if a well priced car comes up for sale it can be gone in 24-48 hours so if you didn’t check the market that day then you missed out.
12 months ago dealers were asking 15-25k over on these cars. If 10k is worth another 12 months to you then keep waiting but with them being discontinued prices may not go down.
My advice is find the car/spec you want and pay a fair price, you won’t care about that 10k after owning it.

I’m fine with a fair price. I just don’t want to be the guy who is overpaying by a lot.

It’s all personal taste. The classic interior is too much for me personally because of the red. The 000 interior is simply gorgeous but too much $. Just wish we could have specced optional leather interiors of the GTS 4.0 models with the Spyder.

I like them both, the Classic is significantly less red in reality than in pictures (that's why I hated it for months until I actually sat in one and really loved it) - but I can't deny that the 000 interior has so much more style, looks more expensive and unique.

Python Green in favor of 2 more gray/silver colors.

This 000 Spyder will test this theory of diminishing returns:

I stopped by that dealer in Silver Spring, MD over the weekend and me thinks the RS has your name on it.. 😀
There was another RS in the back lot waiting to get serviced. It looked to have the exact same spec as the one in the showroom. Such a beautiful car!!!

Two test results in already, and nice to see neither owner was punished for ordering a 718 Spyder with the CXX 000 Package—or, for that matter, driving them.

It will be interesting to see how this one ends up, but the 718 Spyder remains appealing whether configured with no/few options or built out to GT3 pricing. And I'd much rather pay for high-grade finishes and options in a 718 GT car than pay similar $ in pure ADM on a new or used GT3/RS/etc. As always, YMMV!

One does wonder whether 3 sales in relatively quick succession with extremely similar specs may have somewhat depleted the market for that spec, at least for a while.

If my bank accounts worked well enough to get one, it'd be only for an investment possibility, so I'd probably pass on an RS. For that money, I'd rather 4.5 a regular GT4....and buy another car to daily with the money left over.
