Default Need some advice

at our age my wife and I have decided to reduce the number of cars we have so looking for enthusiasts idea about how much my 2012 qspyder is truly worth.

aqua blue exterior, sport buckets, PCCBs , sport chrono, nav, Bose, a/c , Xpel protection, interior parts painted exterior color, Porsche sport exhaust custom hidden trailer hitch, suspension upgraded to Bilstein coil overs and GT3 lower control arms, never tracked . 37,000 miles 90% highway.
interior one of a kind with Porsche blue leather on seat bolsters etc and matching blue alcantera on the seating surfaces.
two sets of Spyder wheels, one clad with mich super sports and the other brand new Bridgestone R71’s always garaged no damage and non smoker owner
One owner
So comments pictures if I decide to part with her

No idea, but it sounds perfect!
You forgot perhaps the most important thing - PDK or 6spd?

Pictures would help in determining overall condition, but I would guess high $50k to $60k-ish.

It's a beautiful car. I believe I saw it in the parking garage at Parade in Spokane. The little trailer was an interesting accessory.

I've always enjoyed reading your posts and accounts of your travels in the Spyder. If you do decide to sell, please stick around here and poke your head in periodically. To me, you and your wife (and your trailer) embody the joy and spirit of the open road. Good luck making a tough decision. Secretly hoping the Spyder is spared as you reduce your car count.

Probably will be spared and passed to our son who is passing his Mini to his daughter. If it goes we still have our Cayenne and my much "enhanced" 911 SC which also will go to our son .... someday. My wife and I have traveled the majority of the states in the Spyder and it gets looks everywhere we go. What a great car

Fantastic car. Beautiful. And with the PDK that will strike a chord with someone. Just at PCA dinner last night and heard a comment that "had the 981 Spyder came with a PDK I would have bought one". We'll see what happens with the 982.

Regards of what you do you and your wife have so enjoyed the Spyder and it's little trailer. And if it goes to your son then hopefully he'll enjoy it just as much.

Good luck with your decision. What about the plane?

The plane stays it is a Beechcraft 1976 F33 A and being an old fighter pilot it had to have the optional IO550 engine. It is a pleasure to fly and is quick

If you insist on selling I would set the price in the high $50’s to low $60’s. BAT seems to be a good venue for these if you do decide to sell.

I am curious though, why not sell the air cooled car?
