This bloke disagrees with the assertion that Spyder prices are in a downtrend:

No one knows the future, but I think that 718 Spyders are a decent long term bet from a valuation perspective. The 718 Spyder RS is too hard to get, and too expensive for most people. Plus, the 718 Spyder only had about 2,500 cars produced for N. America.

Only two relevant dates are when you buy and when you sell. What my car's value does in the meantime doesn't matter but it is nice to own one that holds its value. I suspect prices will fluctuate based on available inventory and time of year but I don't ever see these cars crashing. They're too good and there aren't enough of them.

I dunno , PNH has been listing a lot of cars on here lately with little markup. And there are about a dozen Spyders, GT4s and 4.0’s on here that are not getting any interest at lower premiums than that. The market is cooling significantly. A lot of cars are coming to market, not just here but in the GT3 side as well, and those asks are declining too.

Sounds like you'd be looking for one like mine...lol! I am also not a fan of the buckets, and ordered mine with the 18 ways. Just FYI, here it is: https://www.autotrader.com/marketpla...ngId=676633071

I've had it listed for several months, and have had an incredible amount of interest and many offers. However, I want to receive value for the full Akrapovic exhaust I added, and also for the Miami Blue color, which is quite rare. Obviously, not everyone wants to pay for that, which I understand. Also, I've been reluctant to sell, as I truly love the car. I suspect that is why a lot of the privately owned Spyders advertised don't move more quickly. What are you going to replace it with?? There isn't another Porsche (or XYZ) I would rather have, so it's not easy parting with the car. I imagine that is behind why some of the cars one sees listed haven't sold. I know that has been why I haven't parted with mine yet. But for anyone interested, I have finally decided to get more serious about letting it go, and dropped the price to reflect that change of heart. Not in a hurry, and will keep it if no one wants to pay what it is worth to me. I've had a lot of Porsches going back to a nearly new 1972 911S Targa that got me started in the 1970s, and honestly, the 718 Spyder is my favorite of all of them. Over time, I believe more and more folks will figure this out, and with so few available, they will eventually be harder and harder to come by. Probably more than the GT4, since you have essentially the same car, but with better looks (subjective of course) and the ability to put the top down, which is huge. Also, the 981 Spyder wasn't a GT car, and so there are fewer of the top spec Spyders to go around (I'm not counting the RS, since it is PDK only).

Yeah, I saw your car on AT previously and it is tempting. It is a very nice spec and the exhaust is a plus for me. I just have a lot of racecar problems right now and I am thinking about adding another so a fun street car is lower priority. This track addiction might be worse on the wallet than drugs. GLWS! Maybe I'll have a change of heart soon...

vince993tt

Yes, I understand about the track addiction problem. It can be serious! I don't have to worry about it any longer due to a vertigo issue which unfortunately prevents any serious trackwork with significant repeated high G forces.

Did you try the Epley Maneuver?

vince993tt

Many years ago, but without success. Might be worth another try though, now that you've reminded me. Thank you.

It works, but it sometimes takes a few times to get it right. My wife had it to the point of vomiting and the Epley cured her in two minutes. Almost miraculous.

Shows on dealer website but not national. Of course, I have no idea why.

You used to be able to change the distance from 500 to 5,000 miles by simply adding a “0” within the full web address. However, that doesn’t seem to work for me any longer.

If the diagnosis (BPPV) is correct, then Epley is almost sure to work though it may take few slightly modified tries to get those ear crystals back to where they belong. And if BPPV comes back, just do Epley again -- it's a 'no downsides' procedure. To prevent the crystals from forming and dislodging stop eating foods rich in oxalates:

For anyone interested, there was a really nice, very low mile GTS at Monterey Porsche this week. Ask is a little over sticker.
