Porsche 987 Boxster Spyder Purchase

[lotus116tornado]

After 3/4 months of gleaming knowledge from owners and looking at some cars I am finally ready to purchase.

I have decided on a white car with a lightweight philosophy(low spec), am open to either manual or pdk.

If you are a Spyder owner and are thinking of selling your car then please drop me a line.

With all these replies I thought I would be on to a winner!

25k for a Spyder, must be a standard car with little extras, are you selling mrdemon's for him!!

Subject to the 111 point check, I have bought a Spyder. Details to follow once check completed next week.

Seems like quite a few Spyders have sold recently - three have gone from the OPC locator, the silver private car has sold, hopefully the OP has got his and I presume yours is the one from the Edinburgh VW dealer Chris?

Very strange, given the weather!

I think this car was on a PCP and he had to agree to purchase it or hand it back. It may be that he has sold it or it could end up in the dealer network in about 6 weeks.

Which one? The one you were buying?

The car up in Edinburgh. The one I am buying is a private sale that has not been advertised.

Picked mine up last Thursday. Only brought it the 130 miles home and put it away in the garage due to the bad weather but first impressions are great.

I'm lucky with the spec/condition:
60 Reg, 4700 miles
White
Manual
Buckets
PSE
Sport Chrono
CDR30
Extended Alcantara
and.... cup holders

Hopefully the weather will be a bit better for a run tomorrow.

That's pretty much the same spec as my car, enjoy.

Picked up the car yesterday.

Took this picture in the Oracle car park in Reading, as we went to see "The Impossible". First time I have come away from the cinema wishing I had not been.

I live Essex so a bit of a trek to collect but looking forward to the drive home. Black wheels were a must for me and would have had them painted if they weren't, personal preference though. Think I paid top dollar for it at £40,500 but don't care after missing a few and it's the spec I wanted plus got them to carry out the 2 year service which wasnt due till end May in with price and as OPC comes with 2 years peace of mind. 1st March Friday so hopefully sun is in its way and can't see any bargains to be had now before next winter!

You have exactly the same spec as my car, apart from you have black wheels, PSM and mine has cup holders. I bought mine privately last month with 3300 miles on the clock on a 2010(10) plate. The car was serviced by the previous owner and I then added in the extended two year warranty which starts in June.

Congrats on your purchase and enjoy the drive back from Leicester.

Just bought a red one but not that one...

Did you buy the one at Uxbridge?

Yes

I nearly went to have a look at that yesterday. I work in Gerrards Cross, so it's 10 minutes down the road for me.

Where are you based?

Anyone looking for a Black Spyder high spec with 10k miles? Pm me.

Good luck with the sale. I see you have the car on Pistonheads.

If you want to get top dollar for the vehicle, I would suggest lots of pretty pictures of the car and a really thorough description

When I sold my Vx220Turbo back in January, I spent about two hours fine tuning the advert and the same time taking pictures. Et voila, within two days I got just under the asking price and fully paid.

Are you replcaing the Spyder with anything?
