OK, I visited the dealership down the street and they had a beautiful CPO VERY low mile 2015 c4-cab and a 2014 c4s-coupe for Spyder prices. Both were PDK. Will a 2015 C4 cab with a PDK 3.4 leave me feeling like I could have had a manual 3.8?

Just out of reach like a ripe red apple is a Carmine Red 4GTS Couple not at Spyder price.

Save money and come back at the end of the year for a 4GTS?

The Spyder is an affordable Porsche with Supercar aspirations and It's sort of special in many ways. I'm leaning Spyder still.

Thanks. Not bad; the weight of Fuchs is nearly in parity to light Spyder rims. I would think something like Forgeline could be even lighter.

How do I close this thread? Anyway, I went for another Spyder for my desert cabin because frankly, there aren't many cars out there that do it for me like this Spyder. I love this car.

What did you end up with since you can't order a new 2016 Spyder at this point, I don't believe. Did you find a low mileage CPO car, or a new one left at a dealership?

Funny you ask because I was just looking at my build sheet. I'm at V200 status all over again and told I'm looking at a late May delivery.

I'm getting a guards red car with painted intakes; black leather/ultrasuede interior; LwBS, Burmester, Painted PCM, Various Leather Bits, Silver Wheels, and then the usual specs like large tank, reversing camera. I might be the last order...?

The dealer near me has a red one much like your build sitting on their lot. It looks great. Enjoy yours!
