981 Spyder Database
#736
^^^^ If by "total number production run" you mean total worldwide production, JBoxsterK previously indicated in post #699 of this thread, copied below, that 2,486 is the "only officially confirmed number of all produced 981 Spyders."
I don't know where he found this "officially confirmed number" and I've never seen this number myself published anywhere, but there is no reason to doubt its accuracy as JBoxsterK was very helpful in contributing to this great database and I'm sure his source is reliable.

981 Spyder Database
Thank you S2KTaxi for compiling the 981 Spyder Database (my daily driver is a 2001 S2K). I uploaded the spreadsheet to MS OneCloud and then downloaded the data. I've been using the spreadsheet to track Spyders that are currently or were recently sold. I'm tracking the state in which they reside, their mileage, their asking price and then calculating the percentage of the asking price to MSRP. On average, the asking price for a clean, < 5K miles Spyder is 110% - 115% above MSRP. I am moving to Bonaire in the fall of 2018 and will sadly be selling mine in August of 2018. As a note to the group. While researching this car in Scottsdale, AZ I found this official Porsche administrative website. The website will print any Porsche build sheet based on the vin #: Add your vin # at the end of the url before submitting the web page and get an official Porsche build sheet: https://admin.porschedealer.com/repo...print.php?vin=
Also - as an another interesting note - it appears that the last official USA build was vin#: WPOCC2A87GS152909 on July 13th, 2016. This is very interesting as I own vin # 910 and the build month is April of 2016. Spyder1
vin# 910

Spyders sell very fast here. I was offered more than what I paid for mine just two months ago, and mine is GR with a $96k sticker and the standard 18 ways sofas. I paid below sticker when you factor in CPO and new tires. If you exclude that, I paid right around sticker. I have 9300 miles on mine bought it with 8100.
That said, this seems to be the highest sticker Spyder I've seen.
Mine isn't for sale, but thought it was interesting. Could be also that our 'vert season is starting and theirs was on the way out. GR seems a bit more rare as well. Absolutely love the car. I kind of sometimes wish that it would be a bit louder, but it's just sooo close to perfect I haven't been convinced it's worth it to put headers/tune/tb on it. Probably would be convinced if I heard one in person that was modified properly.
With that said, $136k seems like no mans land for sports cars to me. There's nothing at that price range that excites me when I consider just HOW GREAT the spyder is for the price, and I don't care about PTS or PCCB or LWBs. Perhaps if the 991.1 GT3 was manual, or the TT/S came in manual. Much prefer the Spyder over every single car in the 911 range that comes in manual at that price range as well (incl. 997.1/2 GT3).

Vin# WP0CC2A88GS152594 @ 136K
I believe this is a custom color (so rare) and I believe they were building this Spyder to specifically look like this 911 Speedster . A similar Speedster sat in a dealer showroom for almost 2 years before someone paid over 200K to add it to their garage - collection. Aside from the yellow pull handles (not my preference) this Spyder is every bit as stunning as the Speedster I believe they were trying to replicate.

I literally JUST bought a Spyder from this same dealer a few weeks ago. And, while I didn't pay their asking price, it wasn't far off. The car was GT Silver w/Spyder Classic (red) interior, Burmeister, PCCBS, LWBS, and had less than 1,000 when it was delivered to me. They were extremely easy and responsive, and the sale was a piece of cake!
Btw... if you're looking for an Agate Gray Spyder, I've got one for sale.

I've been looking out for the perfect spec (ever since buying mine) and was willing to trade and / or sell mine in order to get it. However, now with an extensive Xpel paint protection film installed, windows tinted, detail, and just today, header and exhaust installed, I'm leaning towards just keeping this one and enjoying the heck out of it.
A preferred PTS and PCCB's could always push me over the edge though.....
*On a side note, noticed you have two Spyder's and selling the one. Did you do just what I described above by finding a more desirable spec to your liking?
