Default Anybody know this Spyder or the dealer?

Just curious if anybody on RL knows any background on this car. Looks like some nice options, but the seller didn't have much info. I guess it makes sense as the carfax shows it was purchased at auction.

Also looking to see if anybody has had a positive or negative experience with the seller.

The wheels appear to be painted aftermarket. Usually the factory are gloss black with a silver ring. Looks like a nicely optioned car though!

Yes, it does have some nice options, although I had to laugh when I saw the Spyder Interior Alcantara Package. Only Porsche could come up with a $2700 charge for covering the steering wheel and handbrake inserts in Alcantara.

Dave that car has all the right options!

You might ask for them to provide a DME Report (dealer can provide this) and see if any maintenance (oil change) was done.

Here's the car when new (I guess)...

Paste the VIN in a google search and see what pops up.

Sincerely,

Seems a bit over-priced, but the options aren't bad.
Not familiar with the dealer.

Hmm, was wondering if it came from San Antonio Porsche. Maybe I'll try calling their service dept. to see if they can give any info on it. The price is a little steep; if they come down about 10% I might move on it.

Very nice car though definitely not Porsche color-code-painted wheels because they lack for the narrow silver ring on the outside edge that distinguishes them as from the factory.

There was a white one in South Carolina with less miles, sport buckets, sport exhaust, 6speed, cpo that sold for 60k last week. That one might be the exception, but you are correct in that most of these cars either have pdk, sport seats, or both.

I agree the 6MT with Sport Bucket are in very short supply. This one has PSE which is a bonus and the short shifter. It really is optioned perfectly IMHO.

This is my car exactly with similar miles without the " alcantra package " and PSE. I'd say 64k is a fair price based on what I paid..... and my car is CPO'd.
