It looks great. Was an unfulfilled dream to have a wide body twin cam. As a young bloke I had a white MK1 RS2000, totally loved it, std car with an unusual spec, steel wheels, Black vinyl (vin-ill as they say up north) roof with red pin stripes. I removed the last two & put on the full blue decal kit. I think I have a hard copy pic somewhere. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 14December, 2018 Report Share Posted 14December, 2018 Back on topic, yes on the Green one @symsy love the RS in that colour... I'd be torn between that and a pumpkin! Biased opinion I know, but I think the 997.1 RS is THE best looking of all GT3 RS symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted 18December, 2018 Report Share Posted 18December, 2018 When I got back to Brissy I hoped on PPQ to see if I could buy the plate here. Not available unfortunately.

This will be interested to watch I’m very interested to watch outcome as I have the same car in red but with 25,000kms. With a kid on the cards and settlement of new house in May I may be selling too. Just can’t bring myself to put on Carsales. Hopefully if stars align I’ll keep it, if not would be encouraging if this white one fetches near asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 3January, 2019 Report Share Posted 3January, 2019 997.2 RS @ CTS $359k, I feel this is quite reasonable, if my memory serves me well, these never dipped below the high 200's.. so really, I don't think you're paying much premium, you could just call it opportunity cost on the money... or whatever helps you sleep at night https://classicthrottleshop.com/2010-porsche-997-gt3-rs-gen-2-stone-grey/ SS 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 3January, 2019 Report Share Posted 3January, 2019 I know the guy in Brisbane that bought the same spec car above from Gulsons in Canberra in 2013 with 6,000ks for $205k. It was advertised for $245 drive away at the time. There were 8 for sale at once and 5 great ones. All sat for many months. That was when I picked up my 996 RS for $170K. I was seariouly considering the Grey Gulsons car, but the guy took my 911 RSR clone as a trade on the 996 RS. Job done edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy my 6.2 GT3 in 2013 for $90k so... relatively speaking, RS were still commanding a near 100% premium. Jason A and SS 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what the RS stands for however for me the spend (current values) is at that point where I would probably treat it as an investment meaning I would hardly use the bloody thing; at 54 I'm wanting to enjoy driving my cars with out that crap messing with my mind 😂 understanding though, that It's all relative to our cash on hand!!! As an example of my mind set if i bought an RS in 2013 for $205k and its now worth circa $350k i'm going to feel a whole lot more comfortable driving the thing....

edgy Posted 5January, 2019 Report Share Posted 5January, 2019 I don’t see it that way, as I’d always be considering the “replacement cost”, in terms of an investment when compared to traditional asset classes, it’s not a great one, but not a bad one either... the cool thing is you get to use it, and the RS really does seem to do a lot better (as an investment) than the run of the mill GT3. I think the steal in the GT cars market right now is the 996 GT2... mid 200’s asking on most examples, that’s gotta be a good thing!

Jason A Posted 5January, 2019 Report Share Posted 5January, 2019 I drive my cars, not as a daily but they get used. I made the mistake with my first Porsche and worried about clocking up ks in it. The guy I sold it to has done loads of miles in it. When you are dead or to old to drive it - it will seem like a waste. Drive it, track it - clean and pamper it, but don’t sit in your garage and just look at it. All GT3’s are amazing cars - use them as intended I say. hugh, James P and LeeM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
