987 Spyder is different enough from the 981 and 718 Spyders to not be affected by their supply. A 718 Spyder Touring or Boxster R (auto-top NA Spyder) would be a winner.

Do you have to get a more “collector” car policy with an established value for vehicles like this? It seems a little extreme in my eyes, but wouldn’t want an insurance company trying to give me $10k less than its worth in the unforeseen event something happens.
Thanks everyone!

I currently use Geico and they weren’t able to give me a clear answer other than they value based on the Actual Cash Value.

Regularly scan autotrader - there are plenty of non-enthusiasts and 2nd tier dealers who think the car is just a Boxster and use KBB to set their price...! Just have to find them before others!

The answer to all of your prayers!
But you better act quick before others of a similar mind-set (of which you've assured us there are plenty) swoop in and grab this.

The 987.2 Spyder’s ethos is the 550. Raw and basic. The 981 Spyder steps away from that. Any with a power top is out for sure just on that note.
The top on the 987.2 Spyder imho is not meant to be put up and down multiple times a day or week. The car is a no top car with a cover in the event of an errant shower.
Its a true Spyder not a convertible. The top has to be put on. It doesn’t just go up as an appendage to the car.
I keep mine mine with the top off. Rarely do I put it on. I believe it was not meant to be with a top.
I paid $59k for mine over a year ago. 14k miles, black, mt and sofas. No pse. Maybe I over paid??? Not sure. Oh well anyway I’m loving it. It’s a car that will retain its value if not go up and a wonderful engaging car. Bonus- wife loves it.

LOL! Great find! One of one. Though the PDK is an even bigger deal-breaker for me. Fussy, I know...
