2020 718 Boxster Spyder 6-Speed

With more aggressive bodywork and a lower stance, Porsche’s 718 Boxster Spyder not only looks the part of back-roads racer, but has the power to back it up with it’s 992-derived 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 414 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The front suspension and brakes are borrowed from the 911 GT3 and the adaptive dampers and stability-control from GT3 RS. Like I said, back-roads racer.

Today’s Spotlight car, this 2020 718 Boxster Spyder 6-speed is finished in a great color combination of GT Silver Metallic over a Spyder Classic Bordeaux Red leather and Black Alcantara interior. It has all the right options including Full Buckets and PCCB brakes and shows 13,700 miles on the odometer.

The GT Silver Metallic looks to be in very good condition showing minimal wear with just a few small chips on the front end. Inside, the interior is clean as well with just some slight creasing on the bolsters. The CarFax is clean and clear and shows plenty of service history over the last few years and the selling dealer has included a DME report in the listing. Overall, a nice example with some miles.

Over the last few years, manual Boxster Spyders have gone from an average of just below $150k to the $120s we see today. At 13,700 miles, it is the highest mileage example we’ve seen to date. The closest comp we have is a newer, 9,000-mile car finished in Chalk over Black sans Full Buckets and PCCBs. It failed to sell at a high bid of $114,000.

Our Spotlight car also failed to sell, but at a bid of $109,569. Yes it had some nice options and was in a killer color combo, but with almost 5,000 more miles than our comp, we were right there price wise.

Two things that go hand-in-hand? Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd. And like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points. 

On a recent visit to Pittsburgh, SML subscriber Allan S. tossed me his new Sheffield Allsport watch. Sheffield Watches is a reboot of an old dive watch brand founded in New York in the ‘50s that was synonymous with producing low-price point, quality watches. The weight of the stainless steel case felt robust, as did the feel of the screw-down crown and unidirectional bezel—definitely quality. As for price point, the Sheffield diver punches way above its weight at $108. You can’t buy more watch for the money, period. 

And that’s what Sheffield Watches’ founder Jay Turkbas set out to accomplish, reviving the brand's ethos and creating a watch synonymous with quality, technology, and affordability. Taking inspiration from his original Sheffield watch from the ’70s and his 30-plus years of experience in product development and innovation, he knocked it out of the park with a durable watch capable of exploring the depths of the ocean one day and cars & coffee the next. And all at a price point equivalent to the $13 the watch originally cost back then. Take a moment to give Sheffield Watches a look. I know you’ll be just as impressed as I am.
