Bidding on Cars and Bids has reached $82,000 across 11 bids with six days left. The seller reports oil changes every November.2016 Porsche Boxster SpyderCars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowMarket data from Classic.com puts the average 981 Spyder sale at $90,647, with a $130,000 high in July 2025 and a $51,480 low. Comps for one 2016 example indicate a range of $91,639 to $107,135.AdvertisementAdvertisementCeramic brakes and low mileage argue for the upper half of that, while a single key, decals, and a decade-old set of tires pull back. Fair value lands at $90,000 to $105,000, with $96,000 the most likely close. The current bid sits below that with six days to run.2016 Porsche Boxster SpyderCars & BidsCondition and detailsThe tires are the first item. They carry 2016 date codes, making them ten years old regardless of tread depth, and while the seller reports replacing the front pair in April 2018 and sees no cracking, rubber that age belongs in the budget. He also notes center wear on the rear pair.2016 Porsche Boxster SpyderCars & BidsTwo other details came out in answers rather than the listing. The second key was stolen in a 2019 break-in and never replaced, so a dealer will need to cut and program a replacement pair, and the seller does not believe the spark plugs have ever been changed. Neither is expensive.2016 Porsche Boxster SpyderCars & BidsThe rest is simple. No DME report or paint meter readings are offered, the original taillights were sold when clear units went on, and modifications extend to LED turn signal bulbs and yellow Spyder door decals. Disclosed flaws cover scratches, windshield chips, and soft top stains, and the car has never been tracked or, by the seller's account, redlined.2016 Porsche Boxster SpyderCars & BidsAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakePorscheModelBoxster SpyderYear2016Mileage13,800 milesEngine3.8-liter flat-sixPower375 horsepower and 309 lb-ft at the factory ratingTransmissionSix-speed manualDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorSapphire Blue MetallicInterior colorBlackCurrent bid$82,000Interested in this Boxster Spyder? View the listing here.What makes the 981 Spyder uniqueBuilt for a single model year, the 981 Spyder received the 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Carrera S, which no other Boxster got. Output reached 375 horsepower, a six-speed manual was the only transmission, and it arrived without a radio or air conditioning as standard.2016 Porsche Boxster SpyderCars & BidsThe manual roof is what people remember. Raising it takes deliberate effort rather than a button, which sounds like a drawback until the silhouette appears, and the car weighs less than the GTS it sat above. Values have separated sharply from other 981 variants, with the Spyder averaging close to double the Boxster S.My takeFair value sits at $90,000 to $105,000, with $96,000 the most likely result, and the crux is that a handful of easily fixed items sit on an otherwise exceptional car. Low mileage, ceramic brakes, a paid-for color, and an owner who changed the oil annually on a car he barely drove is close to the ideal ownership story. Budget for tires, a second key, and spark plugs, then ask for paint readings. Anything to $96,000 is fair money.AdvertisementAdvertisementDisclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
