Wow, I get it’s really low miles, but price doesn’t make sense to me.

I may be biased, as it’s the spec I have, but I don’t get the obsession with the LWBS. It would be just as expensive to get paddle shifters, sport chrono, and sports exhaust added aftermarket. And they do way more for the driving experience.

look at the 987 Spyder registry; there were not many PDK’s originally spec’ed with paddles, chrono, and pse.

There seem to be markets within markets. That said, it’s an asking price not a sold price so there may be no market at that level for that spec.

Exactly zero chance this car will sell at this price. Even if it was manual it would still be wildly overpriced.

I agree. Even the 2200 mile White / MT / Sport seats in NY state dropped from listed $122K USD dropped to I believe $99 USDs and then sold. For what it sold I don't know. But certainly it feels likje upward pressure on the 987.2 Spyders, not so much on the CRs.

There are only six Spyders in New Zealand so I look to other markets for a pointer.

There seems to be a large price differential between the 981 and 987.2 Spyders. The 981 is manual only and I don’t see 987.2 wanted ads looking for PDK so I wonder if manual 987.2s are seen as substitutes for the 981. The specific specs being asked for also signal people with money.

For my part, I bought a ‘93 Turbo 3.6 when they were unloved, same for my 964 C4, and I can see elements of that cycle in the 987.2. Part of the problem may be that they are rarely seen on the road and you can’t sell on emotion if the buyers hardly know they exist.

Yes, I like this one. Some nice pepita seat inserts would start giving a 911 R look.

^^ You should sell me your car :-)


BTW, I saw that brown/silver car. I used to have a 991 with silver and cocoa interior. It was super nice. But the pics of this spyder suck, they are trying to make it look black.

I agree. 11549 miles = just broken in.

The ad reads "6 days at this dealership".
