LWB are cool and a Spyder feels so much more special with them

But

I’ve been watching these too, and also wish they were in sand beige, but also for $1k, and not $5 and running.

doh!

$5K = dreaming! I was offered a brand new pair in the boxes. Add a 1 in front of your 5... in EUROS!

This will be the 6th set of GT2 folding buckets to sell on BaT in the last 12 months. The last 5 pair sold between $12,800 and $18,250.

If they continue to command that premium in the secondary market, Porsche Classic might be forced to take notice. They're leaving lots of money on the table!

There is no question that these seats historically increase the value of a Gen1 Spyder by $10K. So anything below $10K is a bargin.

Yes, I purchased a set in July 2015 for $8000K USDs and I thought it was slightly absurd. But good things cost good money, like nice watches etc... especially when they go out of producution.
