Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder

The 718 Spyder, introduced in 2019, marked the return of a naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine to the Boxster line. It shares its 4.0L flat-six and GT-developed chassis with the 718 Cayman GT4, making it a serious performance machine rather than just a styling package. Unlike its predecessors, the 981 and 987 Spyders, the 718 is a full-fledged GT product, delivering an unfiltered, high-revving experience that collectors value.

The Spyder's appeal comes from its unique combination of an open-top experience and hardcore GT components. Its manually operated top, distinctive double-bubble rear decklid, and performance-focused suspension set it apart. The availability of a 6-speed manual transmission is a major draw for purists, making it a sought-after model in a market shifting away from three-pedal cars.

With an average sale price over $130,000, the 718 Spyder has shown strong value retention since its launch. It's not a car that depreciates like a standard production model. Instead, it's treated by the market as a special, limited-production vehicle that represents the peak of Porsche's internal combustion, mid-engine roadsters.

Prices range from around $48,000 for outliers with significant issues to over $254,000 for pristine, highly optioned examples.
