I have been away from Porsche for quite awhile...since 2014. After I sold my 05 996TTS I owned a number of other nice vehicles but no Porsche. I had a 14 Raptor, 08 Z06, 15 Wrangler JK, 17 Wrangler JKU, 66 Austin Healey BJ8, and most recently a 19 Charger 392 Scat Pack. I always knew I would come back to Porsche but it never seemed like I could find the right car at the same time my finances were in line. I just recently found a 981 Spyder in my area that seemed to check all the boxes and the price was fairly reasonable after some negotiating.
I had a 2011 987 Spyder that I really regretted selling so I knew another Spyder would someday be in my garage. As for the 981...I am totally blown away by this car. Everything that my 987 didn稚 have and needed has been addressed with the 981. I have owned much more powerful cars but they never came close to the way this car drives. I keep making excuses to go out into the garage to look at it. I haven稚 had this feeling about a car since my last Porsche!

 

And a very nice Spyder it is. Congradultions! And you said it well with respect to the 981 vs the 987. I totally agree.

 

Very nice! Good find and congrats.

 

Thanks guys 👍🏼

 

congrats, what a beautiful car. I hope to own one in the future~!

 

Congratulations.... 981's are fantastic and the Spyder makes it that much special.

 

There is something about Porsches that draw you back to the garage over and over again. I know the feeling very well.

 

Whoa, amazing car!

I am just starting my Porsche journey with a 986 Base/TIP. My last performance car was a 2004 Z06. While I do miss rowing the gears and the power, the overall driving experience has been great with the little Porsche.

Looks like your car, with 375hp, would have more than ample power, top down driving, and mid-engine dynamics. Sign me up!

EDIT: I have been out of the car game for a while. Even stopped getting the magazines. Does this car have a convertible top or that bikini stretch thing? Didn't one of these cars come with straps for door handles as well???
