981 Spyder Crystal Ball Gazing
Discussion
Purely speculative question here and I realise that nobody knows for sure, But where do you see 981 Spyder prices going over the next 5 to 10 years. Depreciation doesn't seem to have really set in yet, however, there seems to be rather a lot of GT4's for sale and not necessarily selling.
I tend to use my fun cars - maybe 5-6000 miles per year, so it wouldn't be a garage queen. So - are they going to go up, or down (by how much) or stay where they are?
It's a big ask, but I'm sure that are a number of serious Porschephiles on hear that may know more than me...

GT4 are like hot cakes if they are a good spec and sell very easy. nothing to touch this car at this market value atm. most are over priced or comfort spec.
put one up at £80k/£85k with the spec and it's sells within a week, I know 3 sales just this month from PH members here.
the 981 Spyder could go 3 ways which will not help you.
1: price stays the same, they seem stable and still rare. don't pay a crazy price for a low miles car as you will kill it's value if you use it. ie £85k cars are pointless buys imo, buying one with a few miles on for £10k less makes a lot of sense and you don't worry about the £85k over spend for a del mile car !
2: price drops, cannot see it, if they bring out a 4.0 L monster it will fetch overs and make this one look good value at £75k, people will wait to see if they get an allocations then buy the old one when they cannot.
3: price goes up if the new one is a turbo.
people really just need to buy what they like now if they want a car, you are a long time dead, you won't get a new one for summer 2018 and come March cars will dry up due to the Spring buyers, there are only 4 for sale and are 2 car del miles over priced examples.

I've never driven one but read nothing but good things from owners on here....if I could find room for one in my garage I would. I totally agree with what 911 R says in 2) and 3) above. I also personally think a N/A replacement is unlikely despite what Autocar says....their track record on such things isn't good....they said 991.2 GTS would be N/A for example.

Obviously this is not the point of the original post but true. Put mine in storage thinking 'Fewer Miles. Price will go up. Briliant' Then news of the 781 Spyder and possible/probable 6 cil, NA engine and I start to think 'Um perhaps I should sell'. In the end though I realised that I had, for me, the perfect car and regardless of its value, I'd be stupid to sell it.Too much stress thinking of future values. Find what you like and drive it
Mine has 6k miles bought for me to use
Euro trip planner for 2018 so more miles. They are excellent roadsters great drive and sound. Paid overs as did not get one allocated (still hurts!) but have the car I wanted.
Looks like slow depreciation , a 6 cylinder 718 Spyder may increase this.
Roll on spring!

Many, many references over various publications and forums including quotes from Porsche employees over the past year.
how far in the past? i remember Preuninger saying not working on f4, and NA has great future... I do really hope it is a NA engine.
however, looking at recent spyshots, forums rennlist etc... there are so many references to a Turbo engine. Furthermore, which NA engine? detuned 4l? noo too expensive to make for only 7000cars... 3.8l? no it is gone now
anyway... geneva 19 is quite far away, we do have time to gossip

Look at the 718 GT4 threads for all the rumours and opinions - chatter has been massive since the test mules were spied.
cheers but again, no one knows... i know for sure they are already marketing gt4 rs (limited edition, NA 4L) for 918 buyers (yeah after 997 turbo, 911 R...) and the gt4 (track only, NA 4l).
but GT4 street would be turbo imo...
the other thing sure is we have to wait for geneva 19!
to come back to subject of the post... yeah spyder 981 is really rare, go for it if you can!!
987 spyders are over list price!
