Yep, sorry but that seems massively overpriced for a 2008 car to me - And also, I would be asking them why the ignition barrel looks so knackered on an otherwise pristine car. Looks like someone has tried to start it with a massive screwdriver.... Looking at their other stock, they're not shy with their prices, are they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kersh Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Paid no where near that for my RS60 last year! Thinking I might sell it if it's attracting those sorts of prices! 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninesomething Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I never knew that the RS60 was released to celebrate a race they won in 1960. Only took 27 years to get around to it. There was me thinking the RS60 was released to try to flog off the last of the 987s after it leaked out that they'd redesigned the engine to eliminate a couple of serious flaws. Call me a cynic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 stick it on collecting cars and someone will give double ! Blimey, you'd really need to want a gen 1 to stump up that much - wonder how much they gave the poor sod who P/x'd to them?

Think black was an option. I looked at one before buying my first car. That was red interior. Just too much for me. nice car, but just not what I wanted and personally not special enough for that kind of price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the Spyder badging, it looks like my 987.1. That mileage makes this car special but I struggle with the notion that someone bought it 13 yrs ago and barely drove it. If you like it enough to cough up the money, why not get it out to play? Rich folk, I'll never understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich folk, I'll never understand. Agree totally re mileage. But it’s not that low. My 987.2 was “strong money” at 9 years old with 18k miles on it but it wasn’t “a kidney” nice car. Stupid price tag.

You paid 'Strong money' for a low mileage car that had done four times the annual mileage of the Spyder. 500 miles a year is absurd. I don't understand the folk who do this.

andygo Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 My 2010 987.2 Cayman had almost exactly 20k on the clock when I bought it last year. In the last 4 years it had covered less than 1k. Nuts. It's had the cobwebs blown out of it now and I have done 7k in the last 10 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted August 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 There was once a 981 on autotrader for ages. It had every extra I've ever seen and some I hadn't including wood trim, cream leather throughout and all kinds of other stuff. One lady owner, 5000 miles on the clock, £50,000+ dealer invoice and for sale at IIRC £28000. Those were expensive miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
