Porsche 718 Spyder Market values
Market values for the Porsche 718 Spyder.
What the ads say now. As of September 2026, UK classifieds show only a handful of 718 Spyders on the market. AutoUncle’s live sample had three cars advertised between roughly £76,000 and £153,000, with a median ask of about £132,000 and average days‑to‑sale of 21; two‑thirds had seen recent price cuts, albeit modest (up to c.£3,000). That is a small sample, but it confirms thin supply and a spread driven by year, mileage and specification. Where cars actually transact. In practice, most UK‑supplied 2019–2021 cars with sensible miles and full OPC history change hands in the £85,000–£105,000 bracket, with very late 2022–2023 deliveries, very low mileage and desirable options (PCCB, carbon buckets) stretching to £110,000–£120,000 at specialists. Asking prices above that exist, but they are outliers in today’s market. At the other end, higher‑mileage early cars and non‑UK imports can be found in the high‑£70,000s to low‑£80,000s; AutoUncle’s £76,244 low ask aligns with that. A single valuation example quoted by MyCarCheck put a 2020 car’s current forecourt value near £72,000 against an original list of £82,270 over 59 months – a useful datapoint for higher‑mile or less favoured cars, but below the level at which most UK‑supplied low‑mile examples are advertised today. UK vs overseas evidence. UK hammer‑price transparency for the 718 Spyder has been limited in the last 12 months, reflecting how many cars trade privately or via specialists. As supporting context only, DriveIndex reports recent US results in August 2026 at $159,718 for a 2021 (c.10k miles) and $203,718 for a 2022 (c.9k miles); these dollar figures are not UK comparables but show continued global demand for low‑mile, later cars. Manual vs PDK. Porsche added PDK to the 718 Spyder during 2020. Manuals remain the purist’s choice and are not discounted; PDK carries a small premium to the right buyer on later cars because it broadens usability and performance. Our view is the gap is typically modest in the UK – think a few thousand pounds like‑for‑like – and condition/specification carry more weight than gearbox alone. Spec, provenance and RHD/LHD. UK‑supplied RHD cars with full OPC history command a clear premium. LHD continental imports tend to sit 5–10% below equivalent RHD cars in the UK. Desirable options (PCCB, full buckets, extended leather, front‑axle lift) help residuals; heavy track use, over‑rev history or non‑OPC servicing will soften them. Colours matter less than mileage and history on this model. Usability note. The Spyder’s roof is more involved than a standard 718 Boxster’s powered hood, but once learned it is perfectly usable for UK touring and notably more accommodating than the Spyder RS’s minimal arrangement. That practicality underpins demand beyond weekend‑toy buyers. Rarity and reliability. Registration data collated by HowRareIsMyCar suggests only a few hundred UK 718 Spyders have been registered since launch, with roughly 250 currently on the road – thin supply by any measure. MOT data cited by CarCostCheck shows a c.98% pass rate, comfortably above the national average. Those two factors – rarity and reliability – help explain why cars placed well continue to sell briskly despite a broader softening in some modern performance segments.
UK‑supplied 2019–2023 Porsche 718 Spyders are typically trading in the mid‑£80,000s to low‑£110,000s today, with late, low‑mile PDK or heavily optioned cars nudging higher. Stock is thin and well‑specced RHD cars turn quickly; LHD imports sit longer and command less.
Evidence on‑the‑ground is of a thin, price‑sensitive market that will pay for the right UK‑supplied car. AutoUncle’s UK sample in September 2026 showed three listings from c.£76k to c.£153k, median c.£132k, with 66.7% marked down recently and average time‑to‑sale around 21 days. Against that, real‑world transactions cluster lower: most 2019–2021 UK cars we see bought/sold privately or via specialists are in the £85k–£105k range, with late, low‑mile 2022–2023 cars edging to £110k–£120k if strongly optioned. US auction prints (DriveIndex reporting August 2026 sales at $159,718 and $203,718) support the idea that very low‑mile, later cars still command firm money, but dollar results should not be read across to the UK pound‑for‑pound. LHD imports and higher‑mile examples sit at the bottom of the UK range and can need price cuts to move. Overall, pricing is holding steady for the best cars, with softer sentiment for average examples.
Stable to gently softer. We expect early, higher‑mile 2019–2020 cars to ease a few percent over the next 12 months as buyers become choosier and financing costs remain a headwind. Late, low‑mile UK‑supplied cars with the right options should hold station provided supply stays scarce. Manual vs PDK will likely remain a wash in value terms, with specification and provenance doing the heavy lifting.
Positive for the right examples. The 718 Spyder’s naturally aspirated 4.0‑litre flat‑six, manual availability, and final‑generation 982 status make it a credible modern keeper, but it is not a numbered limited edition and volumes, whilst modest, are not ultra‑low. Our view is that the best low‑mile, UK‑supplied cars with PCCB/buckets and impeccable history will be safe money over a 5–10 year horizon; ordinary, higher‑mile cars will track broader 718/modern GT fortunes. The roof’s greater day‑to‑day usability relative to the RS broadens its appeal as a long‑term road car, which supports demand.
