My new little 987 Spyder "Charlotte"...
Just bought this new little 987 Spyder. Mint. 14K miles. MT nicely equipped. Very clean DME.
Thought it would compliment the RS nicely.

Looking forward to some driving impressions once you get some time behind the wheel.

You guys got nailed it!
Charlotte's Web. One of my childhood favorites.
That's the only thing I regret this spec does not have is the carbon buckets but I found finding the perfect spec used is not easy at all. Not alot to pick from. I lucked out with this one.

Congrats on the new Spyder! No doubt they are getting harder to find in good condition and with the right options. Yours looks immaculate.
I also would love to get impressions once you've had some time behind the wheel.
Enjoy in good health.

Congrats and welcome to the club.
You're right, they're getting harder to find as people are beginning to realize what a great fun car this is. It was difficult finding the spec I wanted...6sp manual with bucket seats. Mine has the turbo wheels that were ordered new as an option. Initially I wasn't crazy about them but now I really like them, I haven't seen any others with these wheels. Come to think I've only seen one other 987 spyder period. You won't see many of these on the road.
I predict you will love the car. I've had mine for a about 6 months and have driven it almost 5k mi. (not my DD).
Removing the top has a learning curve but once you get use to it, it doesn't take long.
Enjoy in good health and share you impression once you have had sometime behind the wheel.
