Although I took delivery a few weeks ago, I finally had a chance to drive my new(to me) 987 Spyder. This was DaveGee's Spyder and I was fortunate to take its stewardship. Both Dave and the original owner took excellent care of the car and it has been in So Cal since new. Dave was fantastic throughout the whole process and I can not say enough good things about him.
I had a '12 Boxster S that I thoroughly enjoyed but in the back of my mind, I wanted a Spyder. It is everything I hoped it would be and more. Now the hardest part is waiting for spring to come and more days like today so I can enjoy my Spyder.

Boy, does he have you snowballed! The guy is a complete scoundrel
During Dave's ownership I had the pleasure of seeing your car on multiple occasions and following it on a long and spirited drive. You have a real gem on your hands!
Anxious to hear some comparisons to your '12 Boxster S once you get more seat time in the Spyder. Congrats and many happy miles.
Congrats on buying a great Spyder! Wait until you have more time behind the wheel and really connect with the car on some back roads. That feeling of amazement at how well the car handles through the corners never really goes away.
You were fortunate to find a great seller, Dave is a good guy. Sadly he decided a Targa was a better choice, but everyone is entitled to a mistake now and again.
Car looks great. Solid choice on going with the Spyder! Let us know if there is anything we may be help you with. We are have awesome deals throughout the month of March. If there is something that you are looking for i'm sure we can help you out!
Thanks for the kind words! The Spyder is a special car and I feel fortunate to now own one. After years of 911 ownership exclusively, I finally get it.
Regarding the Boxster S vs Spyder, I will wait for a proper drive to address this comparison.
Enjoy, I have had mine for almost 6 1/2 years and every time I even think of selling it I go for a drive and realize it is a keeper. My wife ( of over 50 years) and I have been all over the country in it many times pulling the little trailer. Can't say enough about sport bucket seats and the Spyder
In Montana getting over 27 MPG at 70 MPH
What a great acquisition. A well cared for 987.2 spyder... and to add a great introductory shot. The car is really a hidden gem. It's a bargain compared to all other cars out there in the market that do not have nearly as much connection and precision straight out of the box.
