Future Values of 987 Spyder
Discussion
Im not so sure, proof in the pudding is the drive for me - and the 981 and 991 just doesnt deliver. the 981 GTS feels like a sporty audi, the 987.2 spyder feels like a PROPER sportscar.
I dont have a spyder, I got a Cayman R - but it still applies.
Yeah it has the 3.8 - so what. it doesnt sound any nicer than the 3.4 - and the turbocharged ones later this year will be quicker anyway.

dont think all the 981 Spyders have been alocated as yet, i got offered one by my local OPC on thursday. as for it being a future classic, it will from day one.
it will be the only ever Boxster produced with a flat 6 3.8 911 engine and have a unique body with only 150 manual only cars in UK. without a doubt it will be a sought after classic/investors car

I think it hard to judge the future values.
I don't think anyone would expect the crazy GT prices in terms of increases.
However the last couple of years has seen the prices holding steady and raising from a low point.
Will a newer, more expensive and seemingly low numbers Spyder harm the original, I don't think so for now. There will always be newer faster models but that doesn't mean the older ones become worthless. Classic 911s are far less capable than their modern cousins but that doesn't hold them back.
The market clearly treats the Spyder in a different way to the other boxster family.
It will be interesting to see how the new Spyder performs value wise over the next year or two. Is the 981 drop limited by 987 prices, or will an increase in 981 prices affect a rise in 987?
The 987 Spyder remains a special car. If prices go up that's great as an owner, but if they just remain stable then that in itself is a bonus. Unless there is a general crash then I can't see them dipping too much again.

I have a new Spyder on order and been assured it's coming this year by the dealer. That's great but I'm under pressure to sell the 987 Spyder, which I don't want to do. I have already convinced myself that they are 'very different' cars. My only hope of keeping the 987 is to assure 'the boss' that they will go up in value, rather than down from this point onwards. I have the 'purist' spec with 6,000 miles so feel safe that if they are going up, mine will as well. What do people think. If we set a benchmark of £45k now - what will they be worth in 1-3 years?
I reckon your car nearly 16 months on is still worth 45k.

I do agree. I notice the highest one of three on OPC is now up to £51.5k. Not so long ago this was £45k.
£46-7k was easily achievable 12-18 months ago privately so imho prices have remained the same for a long time!But that is not to say in 20 years time things may be different!the spyder is a very niche market and whilst I agree the 987.2 spyder is the best cayster to be made(bar the gt4)I cannot see it growing in price from where it is now anytime soon!
I’m wondering how long the cars that are listed as high £40’s are taking to sell and how much the sellers are actually getting for the sale price. I’m currently selling my 987 spyder and it’s listed at £32,500. It’s in fantastic condition but has 68,000 miles hence the low price. I would have thought it was a bargain and would have been snapped up, but it’s been listed for over a month now. Are people really that sensitive to the high milage with these cars or are they actually quite difficult to sell?

The 987.2 Spyder is a lovely car, but 'super niche' in the real world which is lucky as so few were sold (we were also in the credit crunch by then).Your higher mileage will reduce the number of buyers and selling privately reduces it still as less people have £32,500 in cash.
Highlighting it on here will help raise awareness.
No doubt the usual suspects will shortly be along to talk up the price and insist you for at least £40k!

I don't see it in the PH classifieds. Where's it listed?It might be a case of trying to sell it in the wrong place?
Found it on eBay!
70k miles is tough ask on any newer car, most stuff is shot at 70k miles and tired and most high miles cars have had NOTHING spent !
I don't buy or run cars over 30k miles and I know a few people like minded on that.
Every thing has a price though, so if it's not sold after 3 months it's too expensive it's that simple.
People will say a high miles car feels ok but go drive a brand new one back to back. upkeep is key and money just don't get spent I find.
AT 70k miles I would be wanting a 10k spend list ;-) and as that will never happen it's best to just look at a lower miles one at £40k it will work out cheaper for the buyer, because as the cars are stable, you buy at £40k you can sell at £40k if you keep the miles ok.

I bought it 3 years ago with 60k on the clock. The previous owner had used it for motorway commuting (I don't buy or run cars over 30k miles and I know a few people like minded on that.

) so I've never been that bothered about its milage. I think it's more to do with how it's driven and maintained than absolute age/milage.Gassing Station | Boxster/Cayman | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
