. Nice car I was just kidding about show it. Now get some clears, and toss the orange turn signals. Enjoy in good health.

DB, I keep thinking I'm going to run into you one of these times when I'm driving back around Santiago, but no luck so far. Unless I'm confusing you with someone else, I think you said in a prior post that you live out near RSM. Hope to meet up with you at some point. Also hope you can join in on the next So Cal Spyder drive.
Great looking Spyder!

The used 981 Spyder prices are ridiculous. This is a great car, but c'mon, it is a Boxster. Looks, sound, and engine are great, but it's somewhat watered down. The top, while fairly convenient is a let down. The 987's affair, while complex, is far more functional and would be so much better.
It's strange because many of them were lingering in the lots June last year. I had a deposit on one with 3% below MSRP. When I backed out, dealer offered 5% below. Another one sold just days earlier for 7% MSRP.
I think - and hope - that when the next gen comes out the prices will crater

^Its amazing that even with all the flaws you've identified, few owners want to sell, creating the supply demand situation you are facing. :-)
Seriously, I think the difference might be that last June, the car wasn't discovered. Now that people have had a chance to drive and own them for a while, nobody wants to get rid of it. I've owned a bunch of Porsche's over the past 30 years. This is the first one I've owned that I want to will to my heirs.

When the Spyder was launched in 2016, Porsche was also selling GT4s, GT3s, GT3 RS's and naturally aspirated 981's. Today, there are none of those being sold new, the 981 has become the turbo 718, and the feeding frenzy of the new GT3 has everyone worrying they might not get one. And it's summer.

I know I would not want to sell it, and especially not that quickly.
Anyway, I really hope the next Spyder will be N/A as rumored. I think I'll order new one the way I want it. Or, if 981 prices get depressed, I will go for a gently used one...
