This is also true for the 981 Spyder which are more expensive to buy used in Germany than GT4s.
There are so few on the market compared to GT4's too and very few with a good spec...£80k seems the min for a well spec'd car now meaning extended leather, PCM, buckets and possibly carbon.

Can’t believe that my ages old Spyder thread still runs so successfully.
Or that it has become a Carrera T love in.
Can’t pretend not to be quite pleased about both!
Spent a lovely afternoon out in mine today and called in to the PCGB track day at Oulton Park. Lots of lovely motors there but still really pleased with my T.
It's been a real treat to read all the comments on this thread...Or that it has become a Carrera T love in.

Can somebody explain to me why prices of 987 Spyders are so high in the rest of europe especially in Germany.....
Germans know what a good drivers car is :-)U.K. has a population of 66million. Germany has a population of 82million. France, Germany and Italy combined? 200 million. I know they produce more LHD cars for the rest of Europe than the do RDH cars for the U.K. but I’m not sure it’s in proportion to the number of prospective buyers.
Mind you. Shmee150 was supposedly able to walk in to a mainland Europe OPC and order a GT3 so perhaps my theory is bunk.

Germans are just much more patriotic than us Brits. The Brits make the best srivers cars IMO such as Lotus,Caterham,Ariel Atom,BAC Mono etc..Only the Brits know how to make true lightweight fun cars,
The Evora weighs more than a GT4 :-(the new Exige weighs over a ton now and has a high C of G :-( and the price is daft.
Elise's are fun though but even they have gained over my 1 st Elise.
Caterham feels dated when driven in a bad way(also I don't fit in the narrow body and the larger body feels wrong, Ariel has gone turbo, BAC single seater and now daft price also gone turbo.
I think you would be shocked how good my little 987.2 Spyder is NA, passive sprung, 1250kg car, only the Caterham had a NA engine !!! Atom, ALL Lotus and the BAC are all turbo :-(

987.2 Spyder - Yawn! Its too slow! I literally used to get overtaken by kids in Fiesta ST's! the new Exige weighs over a ton now and has a high S of G :-( and the price is daft.

when has a 10 second 100 mph been too slow ?very odd comment. go check out a Fiesta 100mph time ! btw
some forums posters do make really daft comments ! the cars no slower than 997 Gt3 to 90mph or a V8 BMW etc etc.
I just think you must hate driving, but that seems the same answer from the new breed of Owners sadly, ie. would not been seen dead in a £40k old car no matter how good.

Chill children... 
It felt a lot slower then a V8 M3!
I was just having fun with you David, you're very defensive!
It handles very well though...
Pretty much the same straight line performance. It felt a lot slower then a V8 M3!
