The figures below were computed by an earlier build of the analysis (2026-09-26) and do not carry later corrections to it. Refreshing this case file recomputes them from the same cars.

BaT files wheels, seats, engines and memorabilia under the same model page as the cars. 3 such listings were removed before any figure below was computed — e.g. No Reserve: 20″ Forged Alloy Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Wheels; No Reserve: 18x8" and 18x9.5" Wheels for Porsche 718 Cayman & Boxster; No Reserve: 18x8" and 18x9.5" Wheels for Porsche 718 Cayman & Boxster.

A four-car market wearing one badge: $28k salvage four-cylinders at one end, $236k Spyder RS Weissachs at the other, and a $118,000 median that describes almost none of them.

Estimated hammer
$221,000
$205,000 – $240,000
tracking estimate Medium-high — the Spyder RS band is one of the best-documented segments in the supplied record, and this car sits squarely at the top of it; the uncertainty is not what a loaded PTS RS is worth ($210k–$230k) but how much extra the 13-car Gulf Orange count adds on a live, back-loaded auction that has already reached $201k with three and a half days to run.

A one-of-thirteen-for-North-America paint-to-sample Gulf Orange Spyder RS Weissach with the complete option set (PCCB, front-axle lift, magnesium wheels, carbon buckets, Chrono) and 1,600 owner-driven miles — this is the loaded PTS car the market actually pays for, and it should hammer in the high $210ks to low $220ks.

Bidding: The $201,000 standing bid is below where this finishes. Treat $210k as the entry point for a serious buyer — that is roughly the number a loaded standard-colour RS commands, and the Gulf Orange paint is worth real money on top of it. I would be comfortable bidding to $222k on the strength of the Gulf Blue ($214,000) and Smyrna Green ($212,000) results plus this car's superior colour rarity and identical option set, and I would go to $230k if a lift inspection shows unmarked aero and the service file comes together. Stop at $235k: above that you are bidding against a documented wall of reserve-not-met cars at $230k, $213k and $211k, and there is no resale headroom. If the reserve turns out to sit above $230k, let it pass and wait — the seller will relist, as several RS consignors have, and the second listing is where these clear.

The market

Across 181 completed BaT auctions, 132 sold for a 72.9% sell-through — respectable, but the 49 no-sales cluster hard at the top end, where sellers of Spyder RS cars keep chasing sticker. The sold median is $118,000 with quartiles at $85,430 and $136,375 and a range of $28,356 to $256,000. That spread is not condition variance; it is model variance. The 982 badge covers 2.0/2.5 turbo-fours that trade from the high $20ks to about $70k, GTS 4.0s in the $76k–$112k band, manual Spyders at $103k–$160k, and Spyder RS Weissachs at $185k–$236k. Treat the median as an accounting artefact of what happened to be consigned, not as a price for any car.

The trend is genuinely up at the moment: last-12-month median $120,000 against $106,000 the prior twelve, +13.2%. Calendar-year medians read $125,000 (2022), $119,500 (2023), $118,000 (2024), $104,500 (2025), $120,000 (2026) — the 2025 dip is mix, not collapse, as more four-cylinder and base GTS cars came through. Within segments the record is clearer. Manual Spyders have appreciated hard: Viola Metallic 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed made $159,718 in August 2026, and commenter b1indsamurai noted the same car sold on BaT four years earlier at $131k with 7,800 fewer miles. 4,100-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed brought $124,777, roughly $10k over its sticker, and 6k-Mile 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed made $130,000.

The Spyder RS is the contested segment. Delivery-mile cars still clear big numbers — Viola Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach $230,000, Gulf Blue 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach $214,000, Smyrna Green 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach $212,000, 91-Mile 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach $211,014 — but five of the last ten RS listings failed to meet reserve at $174,000, $180,000, $185,000, $191,000, $211,000 and $213,000. On 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach (RNM at $191,000), blueheeler wrote: "they just are not $200k cars and really IMO never were. They are $150k-$170k used right now... There are 134 for sale on Autotrader." cooler2442 added on Speed Yellow 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach that "North America was delivered 2,114 Spyder RS's... Not as limited as you are led to believe." Both are opinions, but the RNM record corroborates them: the market pays ~$195k–$215k for a well-specified RS and resists above that.

The transmission medians in the statistics — PDK $128,750 (n=28) versus manual $126,250 (n=34) — are misleading and should be ignored at face value. The Spyder RS is PDK-only and drags the PDK column up; within the ordinary Spyder and GTS 4.0, the comment threads are unanimous that manual carries the premium. elorrain, on 6k-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder (PDK, RNM at $94,000): "If this were manual and in the US it would have been 140k." Finally, the bottom of the market: No Reserve: 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster S 6-Speed, a rebuilt-salvage car, made $28,356, and 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster with 64,000 miles made $35,750 — early turbo-fours are cheap and getting cheaper relative to the flat-six cars above them.

2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed with CPO+1 to 2/28/2028 made $114,001 at 14,000 miles; convertparts noted "CPO was high on my list of 'wants'". On 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed (RNM $112,000), ElpBuckeye flagged lack of CPO as a factor in bidder hesitation. 4,100-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed's winning bidder tcspeed admitted "Ended up paying CPO money for a non CPO car".

A clean DME report on a manual car premium unclear, but refusing one visibly cost money

2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, modified with a catless Soul exhaust and M-Engineering tune, had five separate commenters (slay2025, nickgdrives, CSquared450, og-pinion, ChrisCOak) demand a DME report; the seller refused and the car sold to a dealer at $120,000, below comparable unmodified manual Spyders. On 6k-Mile 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, onehussler: "manual = DME report. Can't believe no one asked yet" — that one, with a report, made $130,000.

Model a specific car

A rough model of this market, not a valuation of a specific car. Each factor says whether it was measured from the sales on file or judged from what the listings and comment threads say — the judged ones carry no sample behind them and should be read as an opinion with a number attached. Everything is read against one specific car, named under the figure, and each control says what changing that one thing is worth. The band is the middle half of the cars behind the figure showing, so a real car lands outside it about as often as a coin comes up heads twice.

Known issues

majorWater pump failure on the 2.0/2.5 turbo four

raised or documented on 3 of the 6 four-cylinder cars in the deep sample

Zunks on 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster: "Early four-cylinder 718s have some history of water-pump failures, and dealer replacement can be expensive. Has the water pump ever been replaced? Receipts?" — the seller never produced any. 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster had its pump replaced under factory warranty at 33k miles. 35k-Mile 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS shows water pump and gasket replaced twice in its records (at 27k and again in September 2024).

Check: Ask for a dated water-pump replacement invoice. Cold-start coolant level, pink crust at the pump weep area, and any history of coolant top-ups. Dealer replacement is a four-figure job.

moderateTransaxle / active drivetrain mount failures on the flat-six cars

three separate instances in the deep sample, all on low-mileage Spyders

No Reserve: 6k-Mile 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed had transaxle mounts replaced in March 2026 at just 6,000 miles out of warranty; SpyderMan981 commented "these engine mounts are problematic and the replacement of one exceeds the cost of the contract" (the Porsche extended service contract). 6k-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder had a PADM fault resolved in June 2025. Slate Gray 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 000 Package 6-Speed needed a transaxle inductive speed sensor in May 2025.

Check: Listen for driveline shudder and a rocking sensation on throttle transitions. Ask specifically whether PADM or transaxle mounts have been replaced and at what mileage; get the invoice.

moderateScraped front splitter, lip and rear diffuser from the low ride height

raised on at least 5 of 40 listings, including cars with under 2,000 miles

RWDFTW on 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder: "That's a crazy amount damage to the front underside, lip, and rear diffuser for 1600 miles!" and onehussler added "This does look like several incidents." Chuck121370 on Gulf Blue 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach: "the rear diffuser and front splitter both have been rubbed multiple times. These cars are super low." On 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster, Q7-porsche and 63racer pressed the seller on scrapes along both undersides that were never explained.

Check: Get the car on a lift. Photograph the splitter underside, the rear diffuser fins and the full undertray. Absence of front-axle lift on a Spyder or Spyder RS makes this near-inevitable — check whether FAL is on the build sheet.

moderateStorage damage on garage-queen cars — dead batteries, stale fluids, no break-in

a recurring theme on 6+ of the delivery-mile Spyder and Spyder RS listings

On No Reserve: 6k-Mile 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed the seller admitted "I never even really ever got it out of second gear more than a handful of times" and the car had to be towed to the dealer after the battery died in storage — which is when the transaxle mounts were found. On Viola Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach, RPChan noted the owner never completed the 920-mile break-in and Best_Of_Show observed the first service was performed at 23 miles with annual service now due. On 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed, PorscheGirlToo: "The driving video looks like it is never out of second gear."

Check: Service dates by calendar, not mileage. Battery age and whether a tender was used. Whether the factory break-in (Porsche specifies staying below ~5,000 rpm for the first ~930 miles) was actually completed or is still ahead of you.

minorRace-Tex and carbon bucket seat bolster tears / surface change

raised on 3 of 40 listings

6k-Mile 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed disclosed an inch-long tear on the driver's outer bolster, professionally glued down, "probably from a rivet in jeans." 35k-Mile 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS had "a split visible on the passenger seat's lower right bolster." On Smyrna Green 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach, Davecox queried seat staining in photos 105-111 and the seller correctly explained it as Race-Tex texture change, though Zarcherinok had already called the seats "ruined."

Check: Inspect the outer driver's bolster under raking light; Race-Tex centres change nap where sat in and that is normal, a split in the leather bolster is not. Factor $500-plus for EdGuard-type bolster protectors.

moderateTurbo wastegate actuator corrosion/rattle on the four-cylinder cars

raised once, but by a knowledgeable commenter and never rebutted

ls585u on 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster asked directly about "the known issue of rattling or seizure from corrosion in these engines"; the seller reported no issues but offered no inspection evidence. 63racer separately heard a rattle at the 26-30 second mark of the driving video, which the seller first denied then could not explain.

Check: Cold-start listen for a metallic rattle from the turbo area; ask whether the actuator has ever been replaced under warranty or TSB.

Seen on: 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster

minorBrake rotor runout / pad squeak on essentially new GTS 4.0 cars

one documented case, with an unusual service trail

2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 had pads and rotors replaced in November 2025 at 1,500 miles for rotor runout, after three sets of tyres and three balances chasing the vibration. 55speedster: "In a two month period all four tires replaced twice. Car has its third set of tires at 1500 miles."

Check: Any pad/rotor replacement before 10,000 miles is a flag — read the warranty claims, not the seller's summary. Feel for pedal pulsation at 60-70 mph.

Seen on: 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0

minorPitted / hazing headlamp lenses and a grainy PCM screen

raised on 3 of 40 listings

On 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster the seller confirmed pitted LED housings present since CPO purchase, with King95 noting "Under CPO Porsche should have replaced the frosting headlamp covers with new units." On No Reserve: 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster S 6-Speed, leftlane11 confirmed after in-person inspection that "headlight hazing is bad." Branthunter on Speed Yellow 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach described a "horrible grainy screen" that is "marginal in the daytime and worse at night."

Check: Look straight into the headlamp lenses in daylight for frosting; check the infotainment screen at night. Neither is cheap to fix out of warranty.

Pre-purchase checklist

Ask the seller

  1. Has the water pump been replaced, and when? (four-cylinder cars only — invoice, not recollection)
  2. Have the transaxle or PADM mounts ever been replaced, and was it under warranty?
  3. Can you post a current DME report? If not, why not?
  4. Is the front-axle lift on the build sheet, and are the brakes PCCB or steel?
  5. What exactly does the Carfax damage entry refer to, and do you have pre-repair photos and the body shop invoice?
  6. Was the factory break-in completed, and what was the maximum rpm during it?
  7. When was the last oil change by date, not by mileage? What about brake fluid and, on a PDK, the transmission service?
  8. Is CPO in force and does it transfer to a private BaT buyer, or does it terminate on a pass-through sale?
  9. Are the original exhaust, cats, tune dongle, floor mats and both keys included in the sale? (Cars in this sample shipped missing $950 carbon mats and had exhausts swapped back at delivery.)
  10. Is there a lien, what is the payoff amount, and who pays it and when?
  11. Has the paint ever been metered, and can you post the readings panel by panel?
  12. If the car is wrapped, when was it applied, over what condition of paint, and who removes it?

Walk away when

Budget

Decide which 718 you actually want, because the bands barely overlap. Turbo-four cars: a driver-grade 2017-2018 Boxster or Boxster S with 35k-65k miles is $30k-$45k, a clean low-mileage 2018-2019 GTS $56k-$70k, and a genuinely nice 12k-mile GTS tops out around $74k — 13k-Mile 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS at $70,000 is the benchmark. GTS 4.0: budget $76k-$95k for a used one with miles (8k-Mile 2023 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 at $94,000, 2022 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 at $93,500), $99k-$112k for a delivery-mile manual (2024 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed $99,500; No Reserve: 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed $112,000, which two separate auctions agreed was the ceiling). Manual Spyder: $103k-$115k for a higher-mileage or lesser-spec car, $124k-$141k for the mainstream good one, $150k-$160k for PTS or exceptional spec. PDK Spyders trade $10k-$25k under manuals. Spyder RS Weissach: $195k-$215k buys a loaded, low-mileage, PTS car today — Gulf Blue at $214,000, Smyrna Green at $212,000, 91-Mile Racing Yellow at $211,014. Above $215k you are bidding against the RNM wall unless the car is a Viola- or 000-grade unicorn. Lightly-optioned white RS cars have sold at $195,000 and failed at $180,000-$230,000; do not pay RS money for Weissach-and-nothing-else.

Outliers

No Reserve: 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster S 6-Speed

No Reserve: 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster S 6-Speed $28,356

The cheapest sale in the whole record. Declared a total loss in October 2024 with structural front damage, rebuilt salvage title, frunk tub riveted and panel-bonded by a non-certified shop, no frame measurement and no post-repair alignment. leftlane11, who inspected it in person, said the repair description "sounds a bit shadetree to me." Roughly 35-40% below a clean 52k-mile manual Boxster S.

2017 Porsche 718 Boxster

2017 Porsche 718 Boxster $35,750

64,000 miles, Miami Blue, clean Carfax, but a claimed 60k PDK service with no invoice produced despite a direct late request, plus pitted headlamps. Two bidders only. drbobs82: "Unless there is something wrong with this car, that is way too low." Documentation gaps cost real money at the bottom of this market.

Slate Gray 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 000 Package 6-Speed

Slate Gray 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 000 Package 6-Speed $203,718

A non-RS manual Spyder at Spyder RS money — roughly $70k above ordinary manual Spyders. One of 39 000 Package cars worldwide, paint-to-sample Slate Gray, Ascot Brown interior, ~$49,000 of Sonderwunsch, $181,630 original sticker. Rarity and provenance, not mechanical superiority.

Viola Metallic 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed

Viola Metallic 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed $159,718

About $30k clear of the manual Spyder pack on colour alone — PTS Viola, believed two built and one manual. The same car made $131k on BaT four years earlier with 7,800 fewer miles, which is the single cleanest appreciation datapoint in the file.

35k-Mile 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS

35k-Mile 2018 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS $56,055

Two front-damage Carfax entries and a repainted bumper with acknowledged colour mismatch, plus no records for the water pump work done before the seller's ownership. azguy238 reported $74k for a comparable 13k-mile 2019 GTS — roughly an $18k haircut for paperwork.

2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach

2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach $191,000

A no-sale worth studying: fully optioned $219,830 RS, obsessive break-in with six oil changes, full PPF and three coats of ceramic, and still no reserve at $191,000. Boris911: "These are just not $200k cars at this time." Over-preservation does not create value above the segment ceiling.

Verdict

The manual GTS 4.0 and manual Spyder are the sweet spot — the last naturally aspirated, manual mid-engine Porsches, still being bought to drive, and the only part of this market with a clean upward record; pay $99k-$112k and $124k-$141k respectively for clean, documented, unmodified cars. The Spyder RS is a fine car and a poor trade at present: supply of 2,114 NA units and a wall of unsold reserves between $174k and $213k mean you should be buying at $195k-$215k for a fully-optioned PTS example and walking from anything lightly specified.

The 132-sale statistical base covers every 982 body style and engine, so the $118,000 median and the transmission medians (PDK $128,750, manual $126,250) are mix artefacts — the PDK-only Spyder RS distorts both. The 40-car deep sample is heavily weighted to Spyder and Spyder RS, with only six four-cylinder cars, so my four-cylinder failure-point claims (water pump, wastegate actuator) rest on a thin base plus commenter consensus rather than many observed sales. Colour medians below five cars were withheld from the statistics and I have not inferred premiums from them; the PTS premium I do claim rests on a handful of individually rare cars and is a judgement, not a measurement. All price_factors are judgements from comment threads, not regression outputs. Comment-thread assertions — 2,114 NA Spyder RS, 5 Smyrna Green cars, 81 Racing Yellow, the $150k-$170k used-RS claim — are unverified strangers' figures, though they recur and are consistent with the RNM record. Finally, tariff-driven MSRP inflation and Canadian import duty (surf2day's ~15.4%) are actively distorting recent comparables.

Bidding patterns

These are patterns, not findings. A public auction record cannot show intent, and everything below has ordinary explanations — specialists and dealers bid on many cars of one model, enthusiasts run up cars they end up losing, and new accounts are usually just new.

Reserve not met
· 823 mi · pdk · white
A comprehensively equipped and genuinely special 2025 Spyder RS with $100k in options and a mysterious Sonderwunsch package failed to clear reserve at $230k, likely because the basic white paint and uncertain option list undermined collector confidence in a $267k original sticker despite impeccable condition and delivery-mile status.
Reserve not met at $230,000 despite $267,070 MSRP; seller declined to proceed · Sonderwunsch options list not provided to buyer; seller unsure of full extent of factory commissioning despite ~$43k cost

Reserve not met
· 15,000 mi · pdk · ice grey metallic
A low-mileage, well-equipped 2024 GTS 4.0 undermined by unexplained Carfax damage, an evasive seller response, and a reserve so far above market clearing ($85k bid fell short) that it signals structural doubt about accident history that the seller refuses to document.

A practically untouched, factory-fresh 2024 718 Spyder RS in an exceptionally rare Racing Yellow finish with premium Weissach and Chrono options, sold to an enthusiastic buyer at $211k—above the original MSRP, reflecting strong market appetite for this modern analog sports car despite its brief production window.

2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
Reserve not met
· 1,100 mi · pdk · gentian blue metallic
A flawlessly preserved, low-mileage 718 Spyder RS with desirable Weissach Package and GT3 engine pedigree failed to clear reserve at $180k, likely because its light specification (no front axle lift, minimal options beyond Weissach) could not justify collector pricing despite undeniable future collectibility.
Light specification for market · Reserve not met at $180,000 final bid; gap between reserve and final bid suggests overvaluation relative to market · car was acquired by dealer in 2026 (future date anomaly - likely meant 2025) creating minor documentation confusion

$159,718
· 10,000 mi · manual · viola metallic
Exceptionally rare manual Viola Metallic PTS 718 Spyder with full carbon package and impeccable service history that commanded 24% premium over MSRP due to scarcity, manual gearbox appeal, and strong collector interest—though early listing history discrepancies and shifted component claims warrant careful documentation review.
seller initially misrepresented scope of Paint-to-Sample Spyders (stated 52 total when actually 52 in 2021 only, 144 total across model years) · seller initially claimed OEM stereo when car had Musicar Stage 2 speakers and removed OE components, later corrected and acknowledged OE components were in parts bin

Well-maintained low-mileage 718 Boxster GTS with desirable specs marred by prior front-end damage (January/July 2022) and bumper repaint color mismatch that seller acknowledged but minimized in photos, ultimately selling for $18k below comparables despite offering paint correction assistance.

Reserve not met
· 448 mi · manual · white
Ultra-low-mileage 2024 manual Boxster S with full warranty and dealer service, but 448 miles and used-car status proved insufficient to overcome market resistance to near-MSRP pricing, particularly given the controversial turbo four-cylinder and looming final-generation collector appeal.
Car has not passed California emissions test despite being registered in California · Reserve not met at high bid of $77,718; seller distance from asking may indicate market resistance to near-sticker pricing on used example

A pristine, single-owner 2025 718 Spyder RS with every meaningful option, full PPF from day one, and 973 measured low-rpm miles sold at fair market ($195k all-in) to an engaged buyer who understands its value as the last naturally aspirated generation—a strong fundamentals car with zero structural red flags, though final pricing reflects healthy supply of similar low-mileage examples in the current market.
13k-Mile 2019 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS
$70,000
· 12,570 mi · pdk · chalk
A genuinely low-mileage, single-owner 2019 718 Boxster GTS in uncommon Chalk with rare graphite blue/cloth-leather interior, fully serviced and accident-free, though pre-sale chin spoiler replacement, undocumented paint touch-ups, and mixed-age tire dates warrant inspection verification before final acceptance.
Chin spoiler replaced immediately before sale without explanation of root cause · Paint touch-ups mentioned but not visually documented or itemized by location
19k-Mile 2021 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed
$78,500
· 19,000 mi · manual · gt silver metallic
A low-mileage, well-equipped manual GTS 4.0 whose recent accident repair and unresolved lien at sale, combined with seller opacity about damage scope, created justified buyer hesitation that allowed the winning bid to be stolen in the final moments.
Left door accident damage and factory panel replacement · Lien on title at sale · Accident damage concealed until pressed by commenters; seller initially vague about repair scope and door replacement status · Seller could not immediately confirm whether door was repaired or replaced; had to call repair shop then wait for insurance company callback before providing answer
2017 Porsche 718 Boxster
$35,750
· 64,000 mi · pdk · miami blue
Well-equipped Miami Blue 718 Boxster with clean history and recent service work but undocumented PDK maintenance claim and unaddressed warranty-level headlamp pitting issues that sold surprisingly low, indicating either strong buyer skepticism or legitimate concern about claimed work.

$114,001
· 14,000 mi · manual · black
A pristine, warranty-backed, manual-transmission 718 Spyder with exceptional original specification and provenance that sold for $114k—nearly MSRP+—despite minor paint chips and an unresolved discrepancy over missing carbon-fiber floor mats, only to be immediately relisted by a dealer at $139.9k.

Viola Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
$230,000
· 22 mi · pdk · viola metallic
A flawless, ultra-rare paint-to-sample Weissach Spyder that finally found a buyer who will actually drive it, though the 2-year hibernation and steel brakes (not ceramic) slightly undermine the premium positioning for a $230k final price.
Car has sat nearly unused for 2 years since new (22 miles total), raising concerns about fluid degradation, battery health, and whether it was properly stored · Minimal customer ownership engagement despite significant purchase price suggests speculative/investment mindset rather than genuine use
No Reserve: 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster S 6-Speed
$28,356
· 52,000 mi · manual · guards red
Transparent seller with a well-documented salvage-title total-loss rebuild featuring non-OEM riveted frunk repairs by a non-specialist shop, achieving drivable condition and surprisingly strong bidding ($28.3k) largely on manual transmission, low mileage, and proof of straight tracking, but buyers should expect further panel gap and headlight work and accept significant structural repair uncertainty.
Declared total loss by insurance in October 2024 · Structural and disabling front-end damage · Car was declared total loss and is on salvage/rebuilt title · Extensive structural damage to front end with non-OEM repair methodology (riveting instead of welding/factory methods)
6k-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder
Reserve not met
· 6,000 mi · pdk · silver
A low-mileage, well-specified 2022 718 Spyder with minor cosmetic wear and an outstanding Burmester audio option that failed to find its reserve in a late bidding war, likely because US tariffs (~15%) and Quebec's French-language barrier severely constrained the pool of serious buyers.
Lien disclosure ambiguity and concern · Canadian tariff/duty impact on cross-border sales · Lien disclosed but process for title transfer unclear until seller clarified; first-time BaT seller · Seller initially vague about lien payoff process; only after multiple commenters pressed did they clearly state willingness to pay off before delivery
No Reserve: 6k-Mile 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed
$127,000
· 6,000 mi · manual · gentian blue metallic
An exemplary spec 718 Spyder with pristine documentation and coveted manual-plus-blue combination, but the transaxle mount failure at 6k miles and seller's chronic underdriving pattern warrant skepticism about whether this low-mileage example has been properly exercised or may harbor dormant mechanical gremlins from prolonged storage.
transaxle mounts replacement required · Car rarely driven despite 6-year ownership; seller admits never getting beyond second gear on public roads except brief I-280 stretches; never tracked · Battery died from extended non-use and power outage during winter storage—suggests insufficient driving frequency
2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed
$120,000
· 9,000 mi · manual · guards red
A low-mileage, well-equipped 2022 manual Spyder with transferable CPO warranty and desirable factory spec, but the seller's refusal to provide a DME report on a catless, tuned car with acknowledged spirited driving—combined with evasive communication—left significant money on the table and signaled unresolved confidence risk to serious buyers.
No DME report provided · Catless exhaust with check engine light history · Seller refused to obtain DME report despite being at 9k miles with modifications and acknowledged spirited driving; seller's dismissive tone toward legitimate buyer concerns ('don't bid on it if you're not comfortable') · Catless exhaust required custom ECU tune to clear CEL, raising reliability questions

$93,500

2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
Reserve not met
· 799 mi · pdk · shark blue
Exceptionally low-mileage first-year 2025 Spyder RS in highly desirable Shark Blue with full Weissach and carbon-bucket specification; reserve not met at $211k despite competitive bidding, suggesting seller expectations may exceed current market appetite or site technical issues affected final pricing.
6k-Mile 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed
$130,000
· 6,000 mi · manual · gentian blue metallic
A single-owner, 6k-mile 2023 718 Spyder in the final year of a discontinued model with optimal manual and bucket-seat spec, clean maintenance records, and a minor seat tear professionally repaired—the only friction being a lien structure and the seller's delayed DME-report procurement that ultimately reinforced confidence.
lien on vehicle at time of sale · seller initially did not proactively offer DME report despite manual transmission cars requiring it per BaT guidelines; only agreed to obtain one after multiple commenter requests · lien on vehicle required special closing procedures rather than clean title transfer
No Reserve: 2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed
$112,000
· 274 mi · manual · jet black metallic
A meticulously specced new 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 that never left the showroom floor, flipped twice in a month and a half without success at higher reserve, finally sold at true market value ($112k, twice) by a seller trying to cover his son's down payment, now heading to a real driver who understands these are the last naturally aspirated mid-engine manuals Porsche will make.
Car appears to be a speculative purchase flipped at modest loss · Speculation play: purchased Jan 2025, flipped March 2026 with 271→274 miles · First listing with reserve did not sell; immediately relisted no-reserve, suggesting reserve was unmet despite seller's $140k total cost claim
2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
Reserve not met
· 346 mi · pdk · arctic gray
A cleanly specced, essentially-new Weissach example with full PPF protection failed to move at reserve, suggesting the market for low-mileage non-PTS Spyder RS units has cooled as early adopters attempt to exit post-allocation positions.
Reserve not met at $185,000 final bid · Low mileage flip suggesting speculative purchase rather than genuine ownership
2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0
$109,000
· 1,500 mi · pdk · chalk
Near-new 2025 Boxster GTS 4.0 with compelling spec and strong warranty, but complex dealer transfer history, aggressive early brake service, and rapid tire wear at minimal mileage warrant pre-purchase PPI and warranty review before committing to this one.
Brake vibration and rotor runout · Complex Carfax history with multiple dealer transfers across Kentucky and Georgia regional network before retail sale, raising questions about vehicle history · Car was CPO certified then reverted to original warranty status, suggesting it left authorized dealer channel

$124,777

$86,000

No Reserve: 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
$200,000
· 1,300 mi · pdk · guards red
An immaculately preserved, fully-optioned 2024 Spyder RS Weissach with 1,300 miles from a fastidious single owner who invested $15k in protection films and ceramic coatings; sold at $200k on second listing after February attempt, supported by strong commentary on platform collectibility and rarity.
Previously listed on BaT in February 2026 (per description text, though this appears to be a typo or error since listing is dated 2026 and car is 2024 model year) · Window sticker marked 'NOT FOR SALE' initially raised questions from commenter Ken442, though seller clarified this is standard for European Delivery vehicles
2025 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed
Reserve not met
· 271 mi · manual · jet black metallic
A thoughtfully ordered, factory-fresh manual GTS 4.0 with impeccable spec and provenance fell short of reserve, suggesting buyers value even pristine, low-mile new Porsches closer to market reality than asking price.
Reserve not met at $112,000 despite MSRP of $127,855—suggests seller's expectations may be misaligned with market · Very quick resale (1 year ownership, minimal miles) raises questions about buyer's intent and long-term satisfaction
Speed Yellow 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
Reserve not met
· 343 mi · pdk · speed yellow
A stunning one-off yellow Spyder RS with $33k bespoke customization and mere 343 miles failed to clear $213k reserve, signaling that personalized specs and an oversaturated model year have eroded flip value in a crowded market.
Grainy infotainment screen · Paint-to-sample and all-yellow interior limited resale appeal · Flip attempt: seller notes client ordered car, took one year to arrive, then client decided to switch to GT3 allocation and sold back to dealer after minimal miles—classic flip structure · Reserve not met at $213k despite $250k MSRP and $33k Sonderwunsch spend—significant depreciation signal
2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed
Reserve not met
· 3,200 mi · manual · shark blue
A pristine, low-mileage final-generation 718 Spyder in highly desirable Shark Blue with manual transmission failed to clear its reserve despite strong bidding to $118k, signaling market resistance to above-MSRP pricing on base models even with exceptional condition and rarity.
Reserve not met at auction · Auction failed despite strong bidding activity reaching $118k · Only 300 miles added in ownership since April 2025 suggests very limited use or possibly held for investment
2024 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed
$99,500
· 2,900 mi · manual · jet black metallic
Immaculate, near-base-mileage 2024 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 with superlative manual-transmission spec and full factory warranty sold to a dealer at $99,500—below comparable retail inventory ($105k–$129k) but sensible for a 11-month-old car with a lien pending payoff.
Lien on title requires payoff before transfer · Car listed for sale after only 11 months of ownership despite seller claiming it as 'Sunday drive' only
2023 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6-Speed
Reserve not met
· 11,000 mi · manual · agate gray metallic
A low-mileage 2023 718 Boxster GTS with desirable specs undermined by a $25k rock-strike repair in its first year and seller evasiveness on diagnostics, ultimately failing to meet reserve.
Front bumper damage from rock strike · Undercarriage wear and possible damage · Reserve not met at $76,500 final bid, suggesting price mismatch with market · Significant undisclosed damage history: $25,000 rock strike damage in first year of ownership
2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
Reserve not met
· 1,300 mi · pdk · guards red
Meticulously over-maintained 2024 Spyder RS with non-negotiable $235k all-in cost failed to meet reserve at $191k because the used 718 Spyder market has fundamentally softened to $150–170k while 134 competing units flood Autotrader, and buyers reject the thesis that six break-in oil changes and interior PPF justify a $40k markup over market.
Auction failed to meet reserve · No service receipts provided · Seller claiming $235k total investment but market evidence suggests 718 Spyders trading $150-170k used; significant disconnect between perceived value and market reality · European Delivery presented as value-add when commenters questioned its relevance; Chirs asked 'Why does European Delivery matter at all to the car's value?'
2023 Porsche 718 Spyder
$126,500
· 1,600 mi · pdk · shark blue
Exceptionally rare and well-equipped 2023 Shark Blue Spyder with vanishingly low miles, but the concentration of front-end impact damage across spoiler, diffuser, and underside on a 1,600-mile car is inconsistent with garage-kept ownership and suggests the seller repeatedly scraped the nose despite supposedly driving carefully.
cracked/damaged front lip spoiler · front underside and rear diffuser damage · extensive front-end damage (lip, underside, diffuser) on car with only 1,600 miles suggests multiple low-speed impact incidents or aggressive driving · seller did not proactively repair inexpensive front spoiler before auction despite knowing it damages aesthetics and value
Gulf Blue 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
$214,000
· 1,700 mi · pdk · gulf blue
A stunning, nearly-pristine PTS Gulf Blue Spyder RS with full PPF and flawless provenance sold $17k under MSRP—but low-speed cosmetic damage to aero surfaces hints the first owner, despite deep pockets, was not sufficiently respectful of the car's extreme ground clearance.
Front splitter and rear diffuser rubbed · Multiple cosmetic rubs to low-slung front and rear aero despite extremely low mileage (1700 miles) suggests first owner was not meticulous · No paint-correction or refinishing mentioned for the aero rubs
2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS
Reserve not met
· 3,000 mi · pdk · vanadium silver metallic
A pristine, low-mileage 718 Spyder RS with complete original spec and strong mechanics undermined by a reversible but market-hostile aesthetic choice that cost the seller $15k–60k in realized value.
vinyl wrap obscures underlying paint condition · personalized customization reduces buyer appeal in luxury market · Reserve not met at $174,000—significantly below comparable sales ($189k minimum documented) · Wrap prevents transparent condition verification despite seller's claims of paint thickness report
