The first time I tried to get in my Spyder I fell over into my passenger's lap, lol

[@miyoshifw27]

You also got a Civic and an NA Miata. I have a CR-Z and an NC with broken soft top so I guess I have to wait at least 10 more years to be able to afford a used 718 Peace from JPN

[@Driven-Productions]

@@miyoshifw27 94 350 HP Supercharged B18 EG6 that is insane, and a 05 NB MX-5 Mazdaspeed. And yes my man from Japan, as they say Rome was not built in a day. You’re seeing 17 years of hard work and investing as smart as I can to make this happen. All the best on your journey!

[@ohmyggg]

Gorgeous car. Was watching it through and enjoying the vid but you didn’t actually earn my thumbs up UNTIL you mentioned putting gloves on to open the trunk to avoid getting fingerprints on the paint.. haha, love it :) Good luck with the sale. Buyer should be assured this car was well taken care of, judging by your attention to detail. Looks absolutely mint and it sounds like you’re mechanically sympathetic too, so I’m sure the engine and gearbox are good as new. Would’ve done great on BaT!

@@ohmyggg 😂 After so many years of making content we’re not even at 10k subs so I’ve come to the conclusion that I just suck, or enthusiasts are virtually impossible to please. In all seriousness thanks for watching and liking/dropping a comment. And yes, I take care of my metal the cars always run better and look better after they roll through the Driven HQ.

7k mi 2020 Spyder for sale, GT 6MT 18 ways, PPF, OAP’s, BMC’s, VC, PTS mossy green wrap over PPF over GT Silver.

[@myou6675]

Stunning spec, won’t take long to find a new home

[@Driven-Productions]

@@myou6675 yeah love it. Considering keeping this one, we will see what happens, but as you can see she runs great and its clean.

[@TGCREken]

I have a Spyder. Peak Porsche for the money. Never owned a better car. Never selling.

[@Driven-Productions]

@@TGCREken awesome. Thanks for sharing. Similar spec as this one?

[@TGCREken]

@@Driven-Productions yep. Even same color. But with sofa seats

[@mpp9964]

100% agree, peak Porsche for the money. Could have a base 911 or this. Spyder is an outstanding buy for those who are smart enough not to obsess over the 911 badge

[@TGCREken]

@@mpp9964 I actually think that the Spyder looks better than a 911 too. Handles better for sure

[@TGCREken]

@@Driven-Productionssame color. But the 18 way seats. Manual.

[@BubuBarong]

FAL was not available on GT4s and Spyders. It is on RSs. Cheers from Italy

[@Driven-Productions]

@@BubuBarong appreciate you sharing that didn’t know that but makes sense. I will say and as noted in the video this car is not too low, so you can get away with most including driveways like mine.

[@robertosacchi-sm4ct]

And It makes scarcely usable. I barely maked into a famous tyre shop in Milan very used with supercars, due to ground clearance

[@nbhdxwtaps]

125k MSRP not 225k😮

[@Driven-Productions]

@@nbhdxwtaps yeah loaded spec and high MSRP considering its 2020 pre inflation! I did say $225k though 😂 🤦‍♂️

[@user-nifinei34jd9]

I think you got this wrong. Even loaded 718 spyder was way under $225k. I have one with upgraded leather and PCCB. Only thing I'm missing is the carbon bucket seat and PTS color. Mine was $120k MSRP and fully loaded with everything was around $150k. Even Spyder RS costs under $200k MSRP. $225k is Spyder RS with dealer markup pricing.(Spyder RS MSRP is 160k with option is around 190k).

[@Driven-Productions]

@@user-nifinei34jd9 yeah I meant to say $125k, I’m just dumb. And if you can secure an RS for $225k in a loaded spec sign me up for that!

[@alb5977]

Only stated 225k 3x though 😂

[@alb5977]

Made me think mine had appreciated 100k 🙂

[@hawkeire2414]

Thats a lovly lovely spec, Only the seat design i would change, don't like the checkerd style. PPF that car ASAP, It will help with the finger print issue also ;)

[@robinowen7331]

Sorry but you don’t know how to put the top up and down. You can use the key to open it initially and close it at the last stage.There is a KZbin video of how to do it. There’s no need to get into the car to use the inside button.

[@tedkramer1208]

My 2021 Spyder is a higher spec than this. Has Pepita seat inserts, PCCB, multfunction wheel, LWB, Burmeister, Front lift kit, Black aluminum, black painted calipers, painted roll hoops, painted headlight washers, alcantara visors, leather inner door sills, PDLS+, and much more. Super high spec. In fact, the only options it doesn't have really is the leather fuse box covers. So, with the combination of LWB, PCCP and Burmeister, Porsche confirmed it's 1:1 in the world. Don't think $225k is where my car would sell. I'm thinking closer to $200k. The window sticker you showed said $125k which is more like it; my MSRP was $141k which is about as high as you can go without doing PTS or Sonderwunsch. The ADM of $100k is not something that you could likely recoup now. So I honestly don't think you're even close to $225k for this car. More like $140k.

[@Driven-Productions]

@@tedkramer1208 nice spec. And yes misspoke and said it twice which is unlike me but hey only human. The car just had a deposit take yesterday first day on market, for asking which was just under $135k. So tells you for right cars priced right market is good.

[@oliverradcliffe7974]

Why only 2000 miles and going up for sale if it's your favorite?

[@Driven-Productions]

@@oliverradcliffe7974 these cars pass through, we source them, review them, and work to sell to a good home. Not all reviews are for sale many are not in fact, but ones in this playlist are mind you.

[@thomasschimmeyer8715]

Never use the "cheat code" of the window frame. It is a very expensive repair.

[@bn8530]

You flipping cars? Good for you man.

[@Driven-Productions]

@@bn8530 yes I’ve learned brokering cars is really only way to earn any money with a small channel like mine. A lot of risk though, they don’t always work out.

[@thomasungeheuer4851]

i prefer the 981 Spyder but BOTH are amazing, mainly for the money

[@Driven-Productions]

@@thomasungeheuer4851 I prefer the exterior of the 718 for sure, but prefer the older 3.8 N/A 911 engine/lighter flywheel setup. While it was down some on power especially low down, it made up for it in the soul and experience on the top end.

[@thomasungeheuer4851]

@@Driven-Productions i agree. totally

[@clu4u]

I have a 2016 Spyder with PCCB. The looks are soo cool but not dusting is the best. They work well cool and don’t ever squeal.

[@thomasungeheuer4851]

@@clu4u i also as well, and there is just a 16 Spyder Modell ;)

[@inflatable2]

No one? We're talking about it right?!? I'd take the "regular" Boxster GTS 4.0 though.. Easier to daily with the roof and a bit more comfortable.. The Spyder I would only buy and drive as a fun weekend car, and when money is no issue..

[@tobi_dg]

Exactly!!

[@Driven-Productions]

@@inflatable2 all fair points. That title is really just to get you guys engaged. No fun spending hours making content that no one clicks on. Although, one could make an argument it’s all about the RS now and no one is talking about the “normal” Spyder.

[@Patrick-jc9pb]

Fair enough, I made however another choice. I bought a Spyder as a roadtrip car. last two years we drove over 35.000 kilometers in Europe. Such a nice car for these purpose. Comfortable enough (I have the 18 way comfort seats) en enough luggage space for a three week holoday

[@Driven-Productions]

@@Patrick-jc9pb man thats awesome to read! Yeah with the 18 way seats this car becomes arguably the best sports car period. After owning one with the 18 way and buckets, I would personally recommend the 18 way seats. Those are “wife approved” seats too. Mine was not a fan of the buckets she would complain about them.

[@billyjoebeanie4468]

The Spyder top is not an issue for me at all. Drove my 718 Spyder for over 20k miles before selling to add a 992 C2S. Now back in market for a Spyder…great great platform. If only the SRS was a bit friendlier in price…maybe someday.

[@johnnyboy1586]

Its funny how 400hp isn't concidered powerful these days,i bet if i drove it i would consider it blisteringly quick

[@Driven-Productions]

@@johnnyboy1586 ain’t that the truth, if is wild to think that but with Turbo / hybrid / EV technology 414 HP really ain’t much. But, this car at 3,140 pounds is the game changer.

[@inflatable2]

@@johnnyboy1586 @johnnyboy1586 I drove 400+HP roadsters for a long time but in the end got a bit fed up with not being able to really use all that power on the public road, so I ended up with a base Porsche 718 Boxster with "only" 300HP as my daily for now.. That's still plenty fast enough to easily brake the law and I think still sounds cool with it's deep rumble etc despite all the talk about it not being a NA 6-cilinder Boxer.. It's 'a lot' cheaper as well, so affordable for way more people.. You do not need all these expensive high-end models to have fun, just get a base which is still a brilliant driving lightweight mid-engine Porsche..

[@KirkwoodImaging]

I got to drive one of these earlier this summer. I was worried it was going to suck getting back into my S2000 afterwards but... it didn't. I think about 80% of it is the gearing (it's geared WAY too tall, I think the top of second is like 86mph) but the other 20% was that for a quick back road rip, it's just too competent and fast to have reasonable fun in. In the S2000 I can explore some loss of grip and wind out the engine and crack a bunch of incredibly enjoyable shifts. In the Spyder you barely shift and the limits of the car are so high you're only pushing them while going straight- to-jail level speeds.

[@Driven-Productions]

@@KirkwoodImaging you’re spot on, its a car that you have to track to get to any real limits. Having said that, it’s still a lot of awesome on the street.

[@TGCREken]

I own one. You have no ideas what you are talking about

[@KirkwoodImaging]

@@TGCREken I'm having at least 90% as much fun for 1/8th the price.

[@TGCREken]

@@KirkwoodImaging my spyder is going up in value, you have a falling knife. Plus, you clearly don’t know what you are talking about regarding more fun….

[@KirkwoodImaging]
