In addition, not really a responsive seller, terrible pictures, and less than a detailed state of presentation. So this may be market correct for up north.

And the car was Black and not spec'd well IMO. You get what you pay for!

I also keep hearing how the 718 Spyder is a "special drivers car" and will probably increase in value and is at the bottom of it's depreciation curve. Isn't it destined for collectibility since the ICE boxster/cayman line is ending? Well all that's true until you go to sell it! I think the LEAST amount of money I've lost on a car at the bottom of its depreciation curve is $10000. Still trying to make friends with this one. The red is growing on me but still........somebody should buy it so I can stop worrying about it.

This obsession with price is mind boggling. It keeps you from buying the car or afraid to drive it because it will cost you $$ on resale. With a mindset like that you are not going to enjoy the car for what it was designed for, DRIVING....

I have been debating whether I should sell the Spyder lately - it is over the 2 year of ownership milestone, which is my trigger for something different. Anyway, I have had several people ask about it as I have it advertised in the PCA Classifieds only, and there are many potential buyers tell me they would never be able to live with buckets or a PDK so I would venture to say that most specs have buyers, especially if well taken care of. And colors are not that important either, but it seems that many more what a bright color but what many consider "boring" colors.

Anyone keeping track of new Porsche USA inventory? Believe this are dealer spec allocations so no buyer yet - its how I found mine and it went off once I had a deposit down and the car was in my name. Not sure which stage they start showing up - believe its either lock or manufactured - latter in my case. 4RS availability is there - probably because dealers keep allocations to sell to the highest bidder once they got those in.
I counted 9 GTS 4.0s east of the rockies right now - 3 Caymans, 6 Boxsters, only 2-3 BGTS are actually on lots.

Sadly the brand is trending that way with many owners now.

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. After arriving home last night in my Spyder I got out and stared at it in the garage for a good bit. It is such a fantastic car for $100k. People need to stop wasting time by worrying about ~$5k.

That was about a year ago anywhere outside of the west coast. Assuming you dealt with a decent dealer.

Dealer's website or Porsche USA inventory? I've seen cars show up on the dealer's website that didn't on Porsche USA. And there was one last year that I inquired that wasn't available - showed up on the dealer's site, didn't check the Porsche USA inventory back then.

Except right now dealers are asking $130k-150K for Spyders, most of the time $20k over MSRP, in a market where prices are CLEARLY trending downwards. I'm not sweating $5k if I find a great spec. I'll sweat $20k-$30k.
