2011 Boxster Spyder value

[VX Foxy]

A friend is looking to sell his Spyder. It's 2011 with ceramic brakes and PDK. It's only done 5k. Any ideas on value?

WBAC says 23k, but I think it should be double that. What says PH?

Good place to start perhaps?

In general, PDK's stick around but PCCB's will at least attracted a few additional buyers. Also depends if it has the carbon buckets and PSE - without those and you'd be looking at the lower end of the price range.

Thanks for that. I'll check on the buckets, pse etc.

It'll be at least £42k privately, even with the 'wrong' seats and wheels. With the right bits in the right colour, with porsche warranty and the right buyer, could be well over £45k.

It'll need to be bought by somebody who values low mileage though. I sold mine privately in Oct 2014 and I don't reckon I'd have got a better price for it if I'd waited til now. I'm not saying prices have peaked but it'll be interesting to see how they develop in 2016.

I reckon you will be lucky to get £40k private! I sold my late 2011 manual all the right bits and PCM plus warranty with 4k miles in the peak which was summertime with also very few cars for sale at the time for £46k! Although it's winter imo prices have softened over the last 4 months and I cannot see them climbing much in the next 4 months!
WBAC are having a laugh got to be worth £30-32k trade at least!

[Wilmslowboy]

£39k Easy peasy sale (within a couple days)

Tyre kickers, endless derogatory texts, broken promises etc etc may lead to £42k private sale



Edited to add

To be fair to WBAC, I looked at selling the wife's 2012 cayenne diesel - their simple online bid was within £150 of the best trade bid.

Thanks for the replies folks, very helpful.

It would seem my mate threw most of the options list at it so it does have the alcantara buckets, sports exhaust, chrono (not sure which). The only thing it doesn't seem to have is nav.

Not having pcm is no biggy. Given the spec and miles, I would say £38-40k even with it being pdk and the middle of winter.

The description of this car is accurate having seen it. It's basically a brand new car with a few thousand miles on it. I reckon this must be the cleanest Spyder in Europe.

Foxy are you the same Foxy as on the VX forum?

I would be interested in the Boxster maybe you can drop me a PM on .org?

The car with that accolade was sold on in the summer and it had buckets and was a manual!
Be interesting how quickly the Virgin car sells although low miles it is Pdk with sports seats so IMHO £6-7k overpriced !

[VX Foxy]

Thanks for all the replies chaps. I'll update when I hear from my mate.

I would if I knew who you were! Sorry I've messaged you from here.

I normally prefer buckets but those seats look fab... This one looks like a collectors item.

[mc_blue]

Amazing what a difference the white backs make to the seats

[jayxx83]

seems like quite a few of them have sold. The alistiar bols one, the black 911v one that had 40k plus miles and some others. So looking forward to the spring now!

spec's important. But perhaps not to everyone. After reading the PH forum, it's easy to believe that everyone in the market for a Spyder has exactly the same criteria. Additionally, the winter's notoriously average for shifting and getting the best price for convertibles. As other posters have said; wait a couple of months and prices will firm up again. There's little or no competition at the £40-50K price-point. In any guise, the Spyder is an amazing car.
