Silver 987.2 Spyder on BAT
Saw this early pop up in the email this morning... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...ign=2018-01-23
Curious comments: "The 35k-mile service was completed in April 2017 by Porsche of Huntsville at a cost of almost $1,900 and also included rebuilding the driver-side rear axle. A Rennline rear subframe stabilizer bar was previously installed."

Oh boy There's a question. Let me answer by saying the Macan is an excellent SUV. And there in lay the problem. I fell in love with Porsche with my 06 C2S, with the flat 6 banging away right behind my head and the howl at 6500 rpms raising the hair on my arms. The Macan? They just didn't do it for me. The steering felt dead and in the GTS, my attempt for more sports car "cow bell" (see Saturday Night Live YouTube video for reference), it just didn't perform nor sound right. So I bailed out, kept the 98 C2S, sold the Spyder for a brief fling with a Cayman and then back again into a Spyder. And that is where I sit... ahhhh....

So go and drive the Macan GTS and let me know what you think. I don't mean to diss it as it is a GREAT SUV but that's exactly what it is - an SUV. Your GT3 will definitely feel VERY different when you get back into it. And try and find a Golf R to drive.

Sold today on BaT for $52K + 5% buyers premium = $54.6K.
That's a strong price for a 36k mile, PDK Spyder with a sketchy history.

Yep. That's exactly what I paid for mine with 38750 miles on it. Still the best bang for your buck and IMO (flame me if you feel you need to) 90%+ of a 997.2 GT3.

Still the Spyder is a awesome car - just think things a tad wacky when a press car that then was a CA DE car goes and sells for this
