The Yellow Spyder is a long term keeper. Having a PTS Stripper with all the right options is beyond needle in a haystack. When these cars finally get discovered and or when the people who covet them can finally afford them I think this one will be at the top.
My last comment regarding the people who covet them is based upon what I see at car shows when my car is actually stopped in one place long enough for people to look at it.
I have found that the car attracts a younger crowd primarily in their 20's and early 30's and nearly all of them know the car and its mission. They're usually there to point out to others how the top works and the flowing rear lines. This age group is just getting started in life with the big housing purchase and having kids. In about 10 years they'll have some extra $$ and that's when we'll see the Spyders really climb in value. That's my prediction anyway.

I've said this before, but I'm really not interested in attention, especially if it relates to value/perceived wealth or anything even remotely financially related. However, I've never had a car which gets this level of genuine friendly comments from people anytime it's parked or I'm driving. Everyone says, "man, that is so beautiful".. that DOES make me happy and I have to agree. Something really special about the design

yes, 9 for sale on autotrader, 4 are PDK, my car is the only manual and bucket seat one for sale. Mine did come with sport design wheels, but I changed to the lightweight spyder wheels. I wanted red interior, buckets and 6 speed manual so changing the wheels was the easy part, as well as adding the sport exhaust. Only selling due to having a second PTS Spyder (not for sale)

There's something I just can't get by head around up here in Canada. Every Gen 2 981 Spyder that is currently on the used marketing is being offered in the range of $134,500 - $139,900 CND ($101,695 - 105,778 USD) which is significantly over MRSP.
When the Gen 2 Spyder came out, with MRSP in the range of $105 - $110K, the Gen 1 987.2 Spyders were selling in the range of $65K. So OK. That delta makes sense, the Gen 2 981 having the larger engine etc...
But what is going to happen when the Gen 3 982 Spyder comes out (and we all know it will)? How are they going to price it? ABOVE what the used Gen 2's are selling for? Then means then a $150 + starting price for a Gen 3.
Furthermore, if one bought one of the used Gen 2's here, let's say for $135K CND, then what will happen on trade in if the Gen 3 comes in lower?
And you know what this means for the Gen 1? It continues it's run as the best bang for your buck Spyder!
Crazy. Thoughts anyone?

I unfortunately drive it only on the highway to get to work so I thought that it deserved a better owner.

I put mine for sale for 130,000$CND this morning at 11:30am and it was sold by 2:00pm ! I should have read this thread before... I guess I could have sold it for a little more. I unfortunately drive it only on the highway to get to work so I thought that it deserved a better owner.

The best street car that I owned also. The thing is that every time I want to hit the road for the fun of it, I prefer to ride either one of my 2 motorcycles !

so i went to look at prices and most are "ASKING" above MSRP for low mileage even with LWB, or at MSRP even with high miles (8-14k). Then there is one weird outlier in Miami which calls the car a "boxster" and is asking $76k. Has anyone in the market (archimedes) checked this one out?.. either the dude is really dumb, or he's just trying to get rid of it (also dumb).. but for ready and able buyer.. this is the steal of a lifetime.
