Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder resells for higher price

A 2023 Porsche 718 Boxster Spyder, originally purchased for 120,000 euros, was recently sold for a higher price at an estate sale. This unusual outcome is attributed to the car's rarity, specific configuration, and the current state of the automotive market.

Car was new in 2023 with limited use

The 718 Boxster Spyder was received new in March 2023 by its first owner. The total invoice was 128,000 euros, including the Gold Bronze Metallic paint option. Three years later, on October 27, 2026, the car was listed for sale on the American auction platform Cars & Bids, with only 6,458 km on the odometer, indicating very limited use.

Owner passed away, leading to estate sale

The owner had ordered the car new before suddenly disappearing, leaving it to his estate. The family decided to sell the car as part of an estate sale. "There was no other reason to sell the car, except that the owner unfortunately died," said a representative of the estate. The auction saw increased interest in the final minutes, with the car selling for 135,000 euros.

Car's value is above average for its model

The average price of a 2023 718 Boxster Spyder is around 114,000 euros, with some estimates placing the typical value of a Spyder around 82,000 euros. This car’s sale price is particularly notable given the generally declining market for such vehicles.

Gold Bronze Metallic is a rare paint option

The Gold Bronze Metallic paint is part of the Paint-to-Sample program, which allows buyers to choose custom colors. This option was priced around 11,000 euros, adding to a base price of nearly 99,000 euros. Introduced in 2010 on a 911 Turbo S anniversary model for the Chinese market, the color is now extremely rare on the 718 Boxster Spyder.

Car features rare and desirable specifications

The sold example is fitted with 20-inch Satin Platinum wheels and tires dated 2022, completing a configuration already in high demand. Only 7,955 718 Boxster Spyders were produced between 2020 and 2023, with just 426 of the 2023 models destined for North America. Of these, only a handful were ordered in PTS Gold Bronze, like this one.

Car offers high performance and pristine condition

The 718 Boxster Spyder is powered by a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine producing 420 hp and 420 Nm. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels only. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 301 km/h. It has never been driven on a track or in winter, and a protective film was applied to preserve the paint. The interior includes black leather and Race-Tex with red stitching, carbon inserts, heated seats, and a high-end Burmester audio system. The car still has the manufacturer's warranty until March 20, 2027, and comes with a clean Carfax report.
