Yeah... Was definitely busy... which is good! You own a Spyder? If so would you be interested in a Meet? PM me your email address and I will send you a questionnaire form for more info.

Slowly prepping for the All Porsche Grand Display in Kirkland, WA... cleaning the Spyder is relaxing for me.

Last weekend, I attended the PNWR All Porsche Grand Display Concours in Kirkland Washington. It was fun to hang out and chat with the local Porsche enthusiast! Perfect weather as well.

Nice!

I'm too lazy to take mine through the touchless wash!

It's a Futura Tandem Axle trailer: http://www.futuratrailers.com

I love it because it's so light, and no ramps needed!

Debating on selling my Spyder soon...

My Spyder is currently tucked away for the winter.
-50 lbs PSI tires
-Fuel Stablizer
-Trickle Charger
-Full Detail
-Porsche Tequipment Indoor Cover

Currently she is just shy of 1800 miles.

XPEL all wrapped edges
-Front Bumper
-Front Hood
-Front Fenders
-Window Frame
-Rockers
-Rear Fenders
-Lower Rear Bumper

Porsche Tequipment Side Stripes in Black
Porsche LED Clear Sidemarker Lights
Porsche Tequipment Rubber Interior Mats

Only been washed once! Only driven in nice sunny weather with dry roads.
Detailed after every drive
Always stored in heated garage
Roof is always up for protection when parked or stored.
Still has that new leather smell
No leather creases on bolsters
10 out of 10, Spyder is cleaner than new

Dealer maintained service wise.

-2017 PCA Porsche Parade - FULL Concours 1st Place, Displayed at Concours Dinner Banquet as well.
-2017 PCA All Porsche Grand Display - Concours 1st Place
-2017 Oregon PCA Boxsters on the Field - People’s Choice Award

Always trailered to events.

Interior of the front hood hatch signed by Grant Larson, Porsche Spyder Designer at the 2017 PCA Parade... Video and Photo Documented.

1 of 18 PTS Spyders in the USA.
1 of 1 in 63A Sport Classic Grey Paint in the USA
1 of 2 in the world... other is in Germany (I know the owner).

Only PTS Spyder in the USA with factory full painted interior trim (CXX-Custom Tailoring). When selecting PTS, you were forced to select either Carbon Fiber, Leather or Aluminum interior trim... Painted Exterior Color trim was only available via CXX for a hefty price.

No rear wart satellite antenna... ordered with Bose and Navigation, but bypassed the Satelite radio to avoid the wart... Most people were not aware that this was possible.

Still determining if I’m 100% sure if I want to sell and at what price if I do.

It’s an extremely rare Spyder... not a single one like it and I’m afraid I will regret selling it, very similar to 987.2 PTS Riviera Blue Spyder I once had.

I’m #2 at my dealer for the 982 Spyder... but that is a loooooooong time away... earliest debut would be in April 2018 at NYC and by the time PTS and everything kicks in it will mean a March to May 2019 delivery!

Hmmm.

Honestly OP, I'm also waiting for the 982 Spyder, but it's a long way off...not sure I could sell my car so soon and be without it while waiting...it's just too fun. Perhaps you'd feel even more distressed without it, especially considering how unique it is???

Selling it is a gamble with the way Porsche handles things.

Questions:
1. Do you think the next Spyder will be better and what specifically do you think will be better?
2. What are your chances of getting a PTS?
3. How would the spec differ from this car, seems you have an ideal spec on this one already with the color and leather so what would you change?
4. Do you really need more performance assuming that’s the only difference?
