Hi, I currently own a 981 Cayman S PDK which I no longer will use daily. Hence, I am looking to buy a weekend toy smile which will not drop too much in value in the coming years as I expect to keep it a minimum of 4 years. Therefore, with my budget of £40-£50k I have my heart set on a 987 Boxster Spyder from opc with the peace of mind of 2yr warranty. I would like to know your opinion if someone has made the move from 981 to 987 Spyder. I have driven the car below and felt it is more sharp and agile in corners in comparison to my current car which I believe is important for a toy. Also, given the low production numbers of the 987 Spyder and my 5,000 yearly mileage I expect this to be low on depreciation. The car I'm looking at http://locator.porsche.com/ipl-customer/ipl/detail... has buckets,PSE,sports chrono. The only downside I see is it has the Turbo wheels. Do you think any other important options are missing in this Spyder? Also, do you think these will still be worth say 20k after 4 yrs with 40k miles? Appreciate your opinions
