The Spyder / Cayman R Auction Thread

the only thing justifying his ask is the market. Fortunately or unfortunately you have a dealer that immensely overvalued a used Spyder PDK with low miles about 2 months ago (25%-35% too high) irrespective of what these car had been selling for. Because of that everyone is asking a lot more for their Spyders. It’s just a market thing. In a few months I suspect the market will cool off and the asking prices will come down if these cars don’t sell for these higher asks. Again, all it took was 1 Pdealership to set a price on a lower production car to start this price hike. Now all unique and special specs are 30%-40% higher based off that dealerships valuation. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still an awesome car.

I had PCCB on my previous 987 and absolutely loved it. There's not a better braking system out there, but I wouldn't pay to retrofit them to my current 987.

In addition to the calipers, pads, and rotors, a PCCB car requires different knuckles (aka hubs or uprights), uses a slightly larger master cylinder (between standard and GT3 in size) and the car's coding needs to be updated. For new parts you'd be looking at $25-30k. Best to buy the full kit used off a totaled car for about $6-10k.

I didn't realize it had an accident. Seller didn't mention to me when I was chatting with him.

Overall it's a super nice spec. Just needs the carbon LWBs put back in the car. The painted interior trim in the cargo area is a really nice touch and the sport look footrest should have been standard equipment... both look great!

I noticed in the PCA Mart listing the side decals normally on the front bumper are missing and thought that may have been due to bodywork in the past, but the Carfax says it was a rear-end collision. It's odd.

I guess we will see, but I would not bid just because the LWBS were removed. It’s like getting 2/3 of a car. At that point the only thing going for it is Peridot and PCCBs. But the accident will more than offset those attributes. If you get rear ended and it cannot drive, chances are the PCCBs (rotors) have damage too. When I saw the LWBS missing the first thought is the damage was severe enough to replace seats. This would gain a ton more interest with those seats still in the car and with a lot less questions that will distract bidders.

But -- read the Carfax. The car got a state safety inspection 10 days after the accident was reported. So if the dates are accurate it increases the odds the accident wasn't that serious.

I logged on this evening to edit my post as I have a pending sale and my post is gone. I know I'm going crazy as you replied in regards to my listing of 2011 Spyder. I can't figure out why the mods removed the listing although I guess it's irrelevant at this point. Just weird.
