"New" RS60 Spyder
Recently purchased #255/1960 - 1 owner time capsule - under 200km.
A) Drive it?
B) Don't drive it, and keep it "new"?
C) Sell it, if someone else has to have it?

Beautiful car. Sounds like you got lucky enough to score an "in-new" condition car, and have the opportunity to enjoy it as such.
This car needs to be driven otherwise it is an absolute waste of an excellent driving utensil. If you're gonna hang on to it for speculation purposes, I dont believe this car will really spike in value but hey, I cant exactly predict the future. I'm daily driving my GT4 so go figure....
Happy motoring :-)

Agree this car will not skyrocket in value, but should more than hold it's own. If you held it for a couple of years, you could probably make some money on it. Time capsules do well in the marketplace. It's a beautiful car - the only thing you'll miss is the fun of driving it. Even if you put 500-1000 miles/year on the car, it should hold up well in the market. Good luck.

Thanks for the positive input. The dealer has replaced the fluids and installed Michelin sport cup tires as part of the Porsche certified pre-owned warranty.
... the sport exhaust note is unfairly tempting me to start the break-in procedure

Beautiful car....and a tough decision.
With nearly 2000 made, and a special (collectors) edition at that, there will likely be a dozen or two low mileage examples around for many years to come so not really so rare.
But you might have one of the few with essentially no miles, so maybe it is really rare.....
In the big picture, with the number of them produced they probably will never appreciate the way truly rare cars sometime do.
I would drive the car very sparingly and in a manner that is mechanically sympathetic (driven every two weeks at a minimum, only in good weather, etc.). I would also find car shows to attend and show off this beauty to those of us who love to see stuff like this.

A) Drive it. Buy a Macan for the daily drive. Keep this for the weekend canyon carving... This way you'll keep the miles low and have a great car. Perfect combo.
