Nice car and realistically priced. If hadn’t just bought mine, I’d likely snag this one.

Suspiciously low-priced. Seller is leaving ~$15k on the table.

I’ve been looking for a Spyder for months. With this spec his price is right to sell it. $55k will sell, $65k possibly will sell in months, and $75k the seller is out to lunch and not dealing with reality.

Nope, I respectfully disagree. I advertised my Spyder (no LWB) recently for $76k and had numerous qualified inquiries. The car sold for not far off list price. I maintain $60k is a bargain.

Full disclosure: My car had considerably less miles than the one above, but still…

As mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve been looking for a driver mile 6-speed in white or silver and this one appears to check all the boxes.

Im getting a PPI on the car next week.

it is a Canadian market car where it lived most of its life, so the underside could be an issue if driven in salty areas in winter. The seller also has only had the car for a few months; not clear is this is a flip or change of plans.

This one just popped up in California: Basalt Black, 6-speed, PSE, xenons, full leather, sport seats. 51k miles; $68k asking price.

RAC has been asking that for a similar 23k-mile version for almost a year, so this price seems sure to drop.

Wow, Turbo wheels. I thought mine was one of the very few with those.

I think the RAC car has 36.5k miles, FWIW. I like that spec with the Carrera Sport wheels.

Just a heads up TX911 - I've owned now 3 Spyders, all from Canada, two from Eastern Canada where the roads are salted BUT neither of them were driven in winter. These Spyders are just not winter drivers (except maybe here on the West Coast where there winters are mild), so it would be unlikely that this one in question was driven on salty roads.

Carrera Sport wheels look great and have the same width/offset as the Spyder wheels, just wish they were lighter.

SOLD! That didn't take long... the enthusiast car market has in general softened the last year, but I've been impressed with Cayman R sales. They really have been strong, including the two Guards Red examples to recently sell on BaT. 987 Spyders seem to be a relative deal IMO.

Wow agreed! That was quick. Nice to see these cars appreciated. I also agree that I don’t really understand why the Spyders aren’t closer in price and arguably they deliver a more entertaining experience. But I get it, more made for 2 years and that is what some people care about.
