Ringmaster999 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 OK thought I’d share my observations on the 987 Spyder market. I’d love to buy one but currently have a 981 which I’ve not sold previously when I advertised it. Then carried on visually modding it at great expense which now sees me probably hanging on to it. Any way. I’ve been watching 987 Spyder’s on various sites that have been for sale and some have been around for literally months and months. But all of a sudden they have all been sold. Great for the sellers and I’m just wondering if they have caught the eye of potential buyers as a good sound future classic 🤷♂️What do others think?

Carmand Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Time of year? That and the fact there are only 100 odd UK cars anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do I love the overall package and design. The rarity factor is definitely something I like 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, plus the fact there were probably a few people keeping an eye on them to see if the prices would drop due to them not selling. Once the sun came out and one sold, maybe that prompted a few of the watchers to buy as they realised the prices were not going down this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Interesting thread, I have a low mileage 987 Spyder and noticed the same (ie few for sale but now all gone in the past few weeks). I have an itch to buy a 981/718 Spyder but the 987 is really well proportioned, plenty fast for the road, and I prefer the gearing of the older car. will be interesting to see where values on the 987 go over time.

I’m not sure they will increase but I also think they are not going to decrease. So I think they’re pretty safe. But then that’s just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
