Two cars wear one badge: base 718 Spyders are a flat, liquid $120–140k manual market, while Spyder RS Weissachs have quietly slid from $236k to a $185–215k trading range with reserves missing all over the place.
Across 98 completed BaT auctions the model shows a 79.6% sell-through, a median sold price of $127,235 and a mean of $144,251 — the gap between those two numbers is the whole story. The 25th–75th percentile band is $119,625–$159,000 but the full range runs $100,000–$256,000, because the dataset blends two products: the 414-hp base 718 Spyder (2020–2023) and the 493-hp Spyder RS Weissach (2023–2025). Read the headline transmission split with that in mind: PDK median $195,000 (n=18) versus manual $127,735 (n=26) does NOT mean PDK is worth more. The Spyder RS is PDK-only, so the PDK bucket is stuffed with RS cars. Inside the base Spyder, the manual is worth materially more than the PDK — see 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder at 12,000 miles bringing only $103,000 while manual 2022s of similar or higher mileage did $118,000–$143,000, and 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder (PDK) posting $108,799 reserve-not-met with onehussler noting that was 'msrp plus bat fee. Should have sold.'
The trend is dead flat overall: last-12-months median $130,000 against $131,000 the prior twelve, -0.8%. Calendar-year medians are similarly inert — 2022 $131,000, 2023 $120,875, 2024 $128,000, 2025 $131,000, 2026 $130,000. But that stability is the base car masking RS erosion. Base manual Spyders keep clearing at or above their $114k–$124k original stickers: 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (black, 9k miles) $127,000 in June 2026, 6k-Mile 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed $130,000 in March 2026, 4,100-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed $124,777. Meanwhile the RS has gone from 2024's peaks — $236,000 for the 175-mile 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach and $225,000 for No Reserve: 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach — to a 2026 clearing band nearer $195,000–$214,000, with a conspicuous graveyard of reserve-not-mets at $174,000, $181,000, $185,000, $191,000 (twice), $200,000, $207,000, $211,000, $213,000 and $222,718. On 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach (RNM at $191,000) blueheeler counted '134 for sale on Autotrader,' and on Speed Yellow 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach cooler2442 posted 'North America was delivered 2,114 Spyder RS's… Not as limited as you are led to believe and why the prices are crashing.' On Viola Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach nickgdrives put a number on it: 'the trend still points toward an 8% decline in the next year on Spyder RS models.' Those are opinions, but the RNM tally corroborates them.
What clears and what stalls is highly legible. No-reserve RS cars find the market cleanly — $200,000, $207,000, $225,000, $189,000 — while reserved RS cars priced off 2024 comps fail. On the base car, manual + interesting colour + clean history is a strong seller's format: Azzuro Thetys Metallic 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed at $153,000 (3,800 miles) and 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed in Racing Green at $151,000 are the top of the non-RS market, roughly $25k above a plain silver or black car of the same age. At the bottom, PDK, high mileage, Canadian origin, an emissions problem or a Carfax entry drags cars into the $103,000–$118,000 zone.
Mileage matters less than spec on the base car and more than anything on the RS. A 385-mile 2020 (No Reserve: 385-Mile 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, $127,470) sold within a few thousand of a 9,000-mile 2023 manual at $127,000; but a 14,000-mile 2021 manual made only $114,001 and 10k–12k-mile cars bracket $103,000–$106,000. So the base-car mileage penalty really bites past roughly 9,000 miles, not before.
Every RS in the analysed set sold between $184,718 and $236,000, versus $103,000–$153,000 for base cars. 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach in Vanadium Gray at 175 miles hit $236,000; 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach at 3,200 miles with Nürburgring laps still made $184,718. Base cars, even 000-adjacent specs aside, top out around $153,000.
2022 Porsche 718 Spyder (PDK, Carrara White, 12k miles, full PPF, one owner) brought $103,000 and Sunshine4042 called it 'stolen'; manual 2022s at similar or lower miles did $118,000–$141,000. 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder (PDK, Gentian Blue) went reserve-not-met at $108,799. On the Canadian 6k-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder (PDK), elorrain wrote 'If this were manual and in the US it would have been 140k' — it stalled at $94,000.
Azzuro Thetys Metallic 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed made $153,000 at 3,800 miles and 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed in Jet Green Metallic made $139,000, against a $127k median. On the RS side, Viola Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach cleared $230,000 and Smyrna Green 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach $212,000 (darkstar81435: 'there were 5 Smyrna Green Spyder RSs produced for North America'), while the non-PTS-colour RS cars in 2026 sat at $195,000–$200,000. Note: BaT's own colour medians were withheld for thin samples, so treat this as a pattern across PTS generally, not a per-colour figure.
Slate Gray 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 000 Package 6-Speed brought $203,718 at 9,000 miles — roughly $75k over a comparable 9k-mile manual — and 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 000 Package 6-Speed made $179,000 at 309 miles despite three owners in 15 months and no ECU/REVS documentation. Sonderwunsch content on the Slate Gray car was ~$49,000 on a $181,630 sticker.
On Gulf Blue 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed ($143,000), jaredq22 called the LWBS+PCCB+PDLS+ combination near-impossible to find and cougarav8r calculated '259 of 2480 had both LWBS and PCCB.' Conversely No Reserve: Grigio Telesto Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach — a PTS car with only 432 miles — brought $189,000, the weakest RS result of the group, with kvbesq flagging that it lacked both PCCB and front axle lift. On 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (Jet Green) losing bidder texman500 said plainly 'The lights and PCCBs do bother me.'
14,000-mile 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed $114,001; 11k-Mile 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed $106,000; 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed at 10,000 miles $103,000. Under ~9k the curve flattens hard — No Reserve: 385-Mile 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed at $127,470 was barely above the 9,000-mile 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed at $127,000.
2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (GT Silver, three owners, CPO to March 2028) made $141,000; 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed with CPO through February 2028 made $110,000 on a 3,900-mile car that had just had mounts and plugs done. On 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (14k miles, CPO+1 to 2/28/2028) buyer convertparts said 'CPO was high on my list of wants.' Uncovered examples with mount or emissions exposure trade lower.
2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed with ~$55k of JCR titanium exhaust, headers and an M-Engineering stage-2 tune made $141,000 — SpyderMan981: 'The seller is going to take a haircut.' 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed with Kline Inconel, DSC, Apex wheels and a spares pile made $123,000. 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS in a satin purple wrap over Vanadium Silver went RNM at $174,000, with Best_Of_Show writing 'There Is one mat purple buyer to 100 Vanadium gray buyers.'
6k-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder stalled RNM at $94,000 with surf2day, a four-time importer, quoting 'tariff/duty/merchandise fee due is roughly 15.4% of the sales price.' 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach (Canadian, 2,900 km) went RNM at $181,000 with Nitromkv citing '20k' in import costs. Even No Reserve: Grigio Telesto Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach — imported and speedometer-converted — was the cheapest RS sale at $189,000.
2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (Shark Blue, Kline exhaust) carried a March 2023 rear-deck damage entry from a collapsed tire rack and made $123,000; jvuong: 'There's no way with a Carfax ding… This isn't a $145k car with a Carfax hit no matter what.' 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach with documented Nürburgring Touristenfahrten laps made $184,718, the lowest RS sale bar the imported one; Beldrueger estimated 'Track time realistically may knock off ~$10K.'

| Pdk | $195,000 | 18 |

No Reserve: 6k-Mile 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed had transaxle mounts replaced in March 2026 at just 6,000 miles, where SpyderMan981 commented 'these engine mounts are problematic and the replacement of one exceeds the cost of the contract.' 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed had both a right-side engine mount and a transaxle hydro mount replaced in July 2025 at 3,900 miles. 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (Jet Green) had a replacement transaxle mount installed April 2025. 6k-Mile 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder had a PADM fault resolved June 2025.
Check: Ask for invoices covering the transaxle hydro mount and right-side engine mount. Look for a PADM fault code history in the DME/diagnostic pull. On any car under warranty, verify the mount work was done under coverage; out of warranty a single mount can exceed the cost of an extended service contract.
On 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder (Shark Blue PDK, 1,600 miles) RWDFTW wrote '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.' On Gulf Blue 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach, Chuck121370: 'the rear diffuser and front splitter both have been rubbed multiple times. These cars are super low.' Sellers of 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (black) and 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (chalk) both disclosed lip scrapes as unavoidable. On No Reserve: Grigio Telesto Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach, kvbesq flagged the missing front axle lift as a real omission.
Check: Get the car on a lift. Photograph the plastic front lip, the underside of the splitter and the rear diffuser fins. Distinguish uniform light scuffing (normal) from multiple discrete impact zones. Confirm whether the car has the front axle lift system — on an RS its absence is a real value hit.
On No Reserve: 6k-Mile 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed the battery died in winter storage, the car was towed in, and the mounts were then found bad; the seller admitted 'I never even really ever got it out of second gear more than a handful of times.' On Viola Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach (22 miles in two years) RPChan noted the owner never performed the recommended ~920-mile break-in. 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (chalk) wore 2021 date-code Michelins; 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed carried tyres date-coded 2020 and 2024 on a 3,900-mile car; 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (Jet Green) had 2022 date codes on a 2023 car.
Check: Read tyre DOT date codes against delivery date. Check the service book for time-based (annual) services, not just mileage-based ones. Battery replacement date. On sub-1,000-mile cars, confirm the factory break-in was actually completed and the first oil service done.
On 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (Guards Red, catless exhaust and M-Engineering tune) five separate commenters asked for a DME and the seller refused; slay2025 wrote 'missed downshifts and over-revs, which a DME report helps clarify' and nickgdrives added 'A DME report is a very normal thing to ask for when selling a six-figure manual Porsche.' The car sold to a dealer at $120,000. On 6k-Mile 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, onehussler: 'manual = DME report. Can't believe no one asked yet' — the seller obtained one and the car made $130,000. 11k-Mile 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed promised a DME and never delivered it. By contrast 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (Gentian Blue) disclosed 12 Range 1 over-revs up front and still made $138,000 — Best_Of_Show called them 'very common' and unconcerning.
Check: Insist on a fresh Porsche DME/REVS pull showing over-rev counts by range. Range 1 hits are common and benign; Range 3/4 events indicate missed downshifts. Pair it with misfire counters.
On 11k-Mile 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, RockaChaw flagged worn tyres at 11k miles; GTSpyder23 replied 'I have a 2023 Spyder with 11,000 miles… The rears are spent. The front tires about 1/2. These type of grippy tires do not last long. Cost of ownership,' and adamjay reported his Cups lasted only 4k miles. On DeMan-Modified 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed the Porsche inspection read 6/32 front, 5/32 and 4/32 rear at 9,200 miles.
Check: Measure tread on all four. Budget a set. Do not read worn rears as abuse if the fronts are half-worn — that is the normal wear signature.
11k-Mile 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed stated outright 'The car has not passed a California emissions test in its current configuration,' had let its registration lapse, never produced the promised DME, and the winning bidder later posted 'Over a week and the seller never reached out.' 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder DeMan 4.5L was declared unable to pass CA emissions, yet SleepyPuppy asked 'Interesting that the listing shows car cannot pass CA emissions test but it passed them last month?' — never resolved. On DeMan-Modified 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, HeelToeAficionado cited CA BAR CVN/checksum policy against non-OEM software, though Topher319 countered that a Cobb tune can be uninstalled for the test.
Check: Confirm the car has passed a current smog test in its present configuration, and that the OEM exhaust and a stock ECU flash are included and reversible. Check whether over-axle pipes have removed particulate filters. Verify registration is current — a lapsed CA registration adds penalties on top.
On 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (black) the seller explained 'I did intend to option LED headlights with PDLS+, but those had a supply chain shortage for many MY23 718.' On 2023 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed (Jet Green), cougarav8r said 'it was the Ukraine war stopping all the ceramic. I had to beg them to sell me a set out of the parts catalog so my car had PCCB but it's not on my build sheet,' and losing bidder texman500 said the missing lights and PCCBs bothered him. On Gulf Blue 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, SpyderMan981 noted US regulatory pad-compound changes mean '22 PCCBs 'put out a lot more' dust.
Check: Read the window sticker line by line. Confirm whether the car has bi-xenon or LED PDLS+, and whether PCCB appears on the build sheet (one seller had PCCBs fitted that never made the sheet). Assume a 2022+ PCCB car will dust the wheels.
On 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, 991gt3mike recommended 'a Sharkwerks 2-5th regearing of the car to get rid of its main weak point – too tall gearing.' DeMan-Modified 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed, with the DeMan shortened gearset, made $131,000 at 9,200 miles and three owners — comfortably above the $114k–$120k that comparable-mileage stock manuals were bringing; b.flippo noted 'DeMan regear is a 5-digit undertaking, and DeMan has a loong waiting list.'
Check: Nothing to inspect — decide whether you want it. A DeMan shortened 2nd–5th gearset is a $15k–$20k, long-waiting-list job and the market does pay for it.
On Speed Yellow 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach, Branthunter described a 'horrible grainy screen' that is 'marginal in the daytime and worse at night,' with restricted rearward visibility on soft-top Spyders, which he said other owners acknowledge.
Check: Sit in it at night with the top up before you buy. Thin evidence — one commenter — so weight accordingly.
Base 718 Spyder (2020–2023, 414 hp): a driver-grade manual with 9,000–14,000 miles, ordinary colours and no warranty is $105,000–$120,000 — see 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed at $103,000, 11k-Mile 2020 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed at $106,000, and 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed at $114,001. A strong one — manual, under ~6,000 miles, PPF from new, full records, DME clean, ideally CPO — is $125,000–$140,000, which is where the bulk of 2026 sales sit ($124,777, $127,000, $130,000, $138,000). Best-in-class means paint-to-sample plus manual plus the PCCB/LSD/PDLS+ trifecta: $143,000–$153,000. PDK base cars: knock $15k–$25k off all of the above — budget $103,000–$126,500.
Spyder RS Weissach: the 2026 clearing range is $195,000–$214,000 for a well-optioned, low-mileage, PPF'd car in a normal colour — $195,000 twice, $200,000, $207,000, $212,000, $214,000. A paint-to-sample car with magnesium wheels, PCCB and front axle lift is where the $225,000–$236,000 results came from, but those are 2024–early-2025 prints and nothing has matched them since Viola Metallic 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach at $230,000 in May 2026. Cars missing PCCB or front lift, imported, or wrapped land at $174,000–$189,000. Do not pay 2024 money in 2026: nine RS auctions failed between $174,000 and $222,718.
Specials: 000 Package cars are their own market at $179,000–$204,000. A DeMan regear adds roughly $10k–$15k of realised value on a manual; a DeMan 4.5L engine swap ($42,100 invoice) returned essentially nothing beyond a normal PDK price at $122,000.

Highest sale in the dataset and the RS high-water mark. 175 miles, ~$54k of options including $15,640 magnesium wheels and PCCB, Vanadium Gray over black/red, no PPF but 'flawless.' Sold $18k over its $217.6k sticker in March 2025 — a price no RS has approached since. TheCarBarn_MA called '20k over… pretty much the market right now.' It no longer is.

$203,718 for a 9,000-mile base-engine manual Spyder — roughly $75k above the market for the same car without the badge. One of 39 000 Package cars worldwide, ~$49k of Sonderwunsch, Ascot Brown leather, $181,630 original sticker, and no comparable public sale since Q3 2024. Three-way bidding war in the final minutes.

The cheapest sale in the deep-analysed set and the clearest illustration of the PDK penalty: one owner, full Xpel from new, ceramic coated, climate-controlled garage, comprehensive records — and it made $103,000 because it was a PDK with 12,000 miles. Fellow owner Sunshine4042 called it 'stolen.'

Top base-Spyder result at $153,000, about $25k over the model median, on 3,800 miles. Paint-to-sample, manual, carbon buckets with plaid inserts, CPO to 6/6/2028. The dealer had it listed at $164,999 on their own site and CarGuy7 called that absurd — BaT still delivered $11k over its $142,320 MSRP.

Stalled at $94,000 — the weakest number in the set — despite 6,000 miles, PCCB, Burmester and full spec. Canadian car: surf2day priced the duty at ~15.4% of the sale, Quebec bidders were locked out by BaT policy, and it was PDK. elorrain: 'If this were manual and in the US it would have been 140k.'

Sold at $127,470 after a single $21,470 jump from $105,000 in a no-reserve auction. Multiple experienced bidders (JFoglia: 'One of the strangest bids I have ever seen') questioned it, the bidder had no history, and completion was never confirmed in-thread. Treat this as a data point of dubious quality, not a comp.

Lowest RS bid of the group, RNM at $174,000 against a $189k–$230k comparable band, for one reason: a satin purple vinyl wrap over factory Vanadium Silver plus gold powder-coated wheels. tdlondon: 'Seller left money on the table with the wrap.' A clean, reversible-in-theory modification that cost roughly $20k in bid.
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. Read them as places to look closely, not as accusations.
watch Underbidder placed much of the ladder — PORSCHE911STPTS placed 6 of 16 bids (38%) and did not win. Enthusiastic losing bidders are common; a very high share is still worth reading the thread for.
