Boxster Spyder
Discussion
Bugger. Rhodium was my first choice and I may be calling the OPC tomorrow. I did add the Smokers Package and Radio but not the A/C - mistake?

Sounds like the GT4 will be quite 'common'. 
:
Not as common as the automatic GT3 littering the adds ATM. :I put money on the org numbers of 200 gt4 and 150 Spyders.
With a good number of OPCs now receiving 10+ GT4s that equates to between 350 and 400!
I know of at least three OPCs just receiving one Spyder, admittedly for now.

Re the 991 GT3s, in my opinion, the OPCs should not be selling cars at over list - it doesn't feel right for them to be speculating on their own products (i.e. you can't pay 'overs' at an official Rolex shop). It cheapens the brand IMHO.
As you know, they cannot sell 'new' cars over list.The OPCs do not set the price.....that is governed by what the market will pay. Just like estate agents!
:IMHO and this is purely speculation I think with the limited supply of the 981 spyder it will only enhance the value of the original 987 spyder and long term the original will be worth more!i was first on the list for a 981 spyder at my opc but was going to cancel my order as I could not see what I would gain over my car but was lucky to swap out for a gt4 before cancelling my order/deposit!i am not bothered about how many gt4 are built as long as it is a great car like my spyder otherwise I could be making a big mistake!
Yesterday my son who has driven a few cars Nissan Gtr, AMG mercs. etc as had an E46 M3 which he loved has also worked as a race mechanic on formula3 and halfords team touring cars drove the spyder for the first time and was absolutely blown away by the way it drove/handled,how light it felt ,the shift of the gears etc he also commented that no way the 981 Cayman s Pdk he had as a loaner was as much fun or as good to drive and before we have a manual Pdk debate his M3 that he loved was a SMG box!he also could not understand why I want to sell it so the gt4 has a lot to live up to!and IMHO I cannot apart from the extra hp /torque see the 981 spyder being better which worries me about the gt4!faster does not always equate to better and on the road my spyder with only 320hp is fast enough so it comes down to how the car feels,drives and handles!

what a load of cock.I know of at least three OPCs just receiving one Spyder, admittedly for now.
Despite maths clearly not being your forte it doesn t really take much working out.
Everyone knows the GT4 is not limited run despite you claiming otherwise and talking prices up before you have even taken delivery! Posters on the GT4 forums are already reporting all these additional cars being available.......

to quote you "400 GT4 and now 75 SPyders" lol, as I said what a load of cock.
I am sure you are just jumping on the band wagon, when I actually use and drives the things day to day and track some of them

Have a look on the porsche club forum it's not pretty and a bit of mess the current model with its carbon fibre and smoother roof lock is a much better finish
I meant it was good to get some idea, agree it looks untidy but then it is an unlined roof. Will not reject car for that.Gassing Station | Boxster/Cayman | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
