Boxster Spyder

[2010spy]

Here's hoping...

[Trikster]

Got the winters fitted on Sat, doesn't look to bad; kept the black center caps as hadn't received my silver ones through yet and think it actually works

Obviously the drive is marginally 'softer', but not really noticeable in regular driving, and can really notice the difference on the cobbled speed humps.

Really looking forward to finally putting some miles on the car this winter...

[Zyp]

See there's a 2010 black PDK one now for sale at OPC Bristol - lots of fripperies and wrong wheels.
£42000.

Prices are on the up and it's winter

At this rate, I won't be able to hang onto mine much longer....

[KMF]

I was looking at that black one. They have sent me pictures of it but a lot of money for the spec i was not looking for. I think they might fetch 40 plus from OPC with their backing but a private sale that is another thing

[Zyp]

I'll be interested to see what JCT in Leeds offer me for mine next week.

[rob.kellock]

Against what?

JCT Pork, Lotus, Fezza, Aston, Mazda or Vauxhall...

OPC Edinburgh have a list of buyers apparently.

One in your list, I'm sure you can guess which one

Although Edinburgh is lovely this time of year, I'm not going all the way there for a trade in value!

Not too sure about the Edinburgh comment, I'm dealing with them just now to move mine on. I do have a potential buyer but we've not managed to close the deal.

If that doesn't happen I need to decide if I should market mine privately or go the SoR route.

KMF drop me a PM if a white car with manual/short shift, buckets, PSE, spyder wheels, sports chrono etc, 6300 miles and 22 months OPC warranty is of any interest to you.

Hi there Chris.

I am the one you are working with at the moment through the OPC. Graeme is not being to helpful at the moment

don't swap it for a plastic car.

It wouldn't be the V6.

Values of the 2010 S are holding incredibly well and the lure is strong on this one.
Still a hard decision to make.

Don't know how I'm going to feel driving one again after my last big 'off'!

[mrdemon]

do you fit in one :-)

CUP 260 with the new wing I see the appeal for, not much else in the Exige range.

I do love the face lift, charged cooled Elise though.

More room in one (once I've squeezed in ) than in the Spyder.

A 260 RGB or just a 240S with sports and performance pack will do (the 2010 MY with bigger rear spoiler like my last one)

[mrdemon]

def the RGB then, has every thing as standard and will hold better value.

[Zyp]

The only RGB I can find at the moment has too many miles for my liking.

Sorry to hijack the thread but hoping you fellow Spyder owners can help. I found two rubbers in the boot of the car. Any idea where they are from? I am guessing something to do with the roof but I can't see anything obvious. My roof is very noisy at the moment so hoping that getting these back on will sort it out!

Thanks

Ps. My Spyder was in Evo a couple of editions back

[kitchens2]

Sorry no idea as to where they fit back in but perhaps some fellow Spyder owners can shed some light .
Was out a run today and drooped into the local Lotus dealership just to have a look as know nothing about the brand and a very nice salesperson called Brandon took the time to show me around all the cars despite the fact he knew i was not buying ,was very impressed with the Evora .the Elise was to difficult to get in and out.
Nice to get the Spyder out after all this hellish weather
