First, Eduardo, thank you for your posts. I like the rarer/personlized/limited edition models and your posts are always informative. I really appreciate them.
Thank you for your note. Glad I can be of limited assistance. I have learned quite a bit from this forum and it's my way to pay some of it back!

That is another special Spyder with a history which has been amply documented here in this forum. It's the only PTS Spyder in MY2011 that we know of. All other 3 PTS Spyders that came to America were MY2012 (Speed Yellow, Azure Blue & Riviera Blue). I drove that Meteor Gray Spyder..and also checked it out for a friend that had intentions of buying it directly from PCNA after its tour of duty there!
This thing seems to change hands every couple of years.
Hearing all these comments about the cream white makes me wonder if I should have pulled the trigger on the the other combo I came up with.
My other combo:
Cream White
Black Full Leather
LWBPCCBBlack WheelsI debated the above combo on the configurator and kept going back and forth. But I was nervous about the cream white and if I would like it over the long haul. If anyone is looking for a PDK this would certainly be a unique Spyder.
Love the colour combo, I didn't even know they offered the 987
spyder with a cocoa interior! Lots of nice options, just wish it
was a stick!
Last year, when I first got to Scottsdale, one of our local
Porsche enthusiast owned this same Spyder we have
tracked at Rennlist for years. And shortly thereafter, he
had it for sale. Mitch is his name. Eventually, he sold it
to someone back East! And it now appears in BAT!
Back in May of 2016, it had 15K miles & Mitch was asking $56K for it.
Curious to see what it will top out at on BAT. Currently sitting at a paltry $38K with one day to go. Perhaps not the best time to put a car like this on the market?

Most of the bidding usually occurs during the last few minutes on BaT.
Someone mentioned on BAT that this car is supercharged, is that correct? I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere in the ad, seems like it would be something that absolutely should be disclosed. For the right buyer the supercharger would be a benefit but it would probably hurt resale for most buyers.

Afshin:
There is a 'story' behind this supercharger 'claim'. I am surprised you don't remember
because YOU posted on that original thread back in January of 2012. We at Rennlist
concluded (after reading the owner's posts below) that this Spyder actually NEVER had
supercharger installed. It's second legal owner (RJ Boatman) thought it had one when
he bought it! Then he apparently found out differently & sold it!
****
I will let others come to our old Rennlist threads to
find out more about the early history of this vehicle.
I am a big fan of 'Bring a Trailer' & they are doing a
tremendous job with selling many rare & interesting
vehicles. Unlike eBay, the level of input by knowleageable
enthusiasts (folks that have owned these types of
cars in the past or know the history of the model)
make these auctions really interesting & productive!
In this particular auction, I don't think the seller has
done a good job in either representing his car to its
best advantage or engaging fully with the folks posting
& asking questions! To have the best results at BaT,
the seller needs to be fully engaged & quickly answer
(fully & frankly) all the questions that people have on
the car being sold at auction. That has not been the
case here & I think it will cost him dearly. I doubt this
Spyder will meet it's reserve on ths auction...but that
is just my gut feeling! We will find out in 22 hours!

I did ask Suncoast a while back about pricing for swapping an interior color As you can imagine, it would be extreme, about 20k to swap an interior from say black non full leather to cocoa full leather. This price includes the leather for dash, door panels, etc, and the replacement leather pieces for the sport buckets, but not the sport bucket seats themselves.
