I recently put my RSA on eBay, the auction never hit the reserve. But I guess all the exposure is enough to sell a car. Now the car is all but sold and the new owner will be shipping it to Germany. Very sad day for me. This car has been my first Porsche and has made me passionate about cars again. The problem is that I've been pouring money into a car that will just never be a great track car unless it undergoes a massive restoration due to frame damage. The new owners are two brothers, one in Chicago the other in Germany. They are going to fix the car correctly.
This will make two RSA's in Germany.
So next Wednesday the buyer is bringing me a cashiers check. In exchange I'll give him the title, keys and bill of sale. He's letting me keep the car until I can verify that the check is good. Sounds safe to me. So long RSA.

I thought about that exchange rate, yes they're getting this car dirt cheap. $22k U.S. = 16,275 Euros. But I'm selling it for exactly what I paid for it.

Mark, This may not be the case with your purchaser, but I've heard horror stories about cashiers checks that were deposited and verified as good only to have the bank coming back a couple of weeks later saying it was not good. By that time the car was gone. Because of this, when I bought my car, the seller required that we go to my bank and draw the money directly out of my account. That way he was comfortable with accepting the cashiers check as he was there when it was drawn from my account. Just a thought. Never hurts to be careful, especially since the car is headed overseas.
Whatcha getting to replace it???

How do you know what number your RS America is? Is it by the last three digits of the VIN? Just asking, your car looked a lot like one I had in the mid nineties - it has no sunroof, radio etc. and was the same color.

It is kind of interesting to see the "reverse" flow of cars across the pond. It is funny to have a RSA in Deutschland, I would think.

I had several people in Germany call me about the car. I spent about 20 minutes with one guy arguing about the fact that the car was not a Carrera RS. He insisted that that was what I was trying to sell it as. He had never heard of an RSA.

1995 M3, easier to drive and cheaper to run. My next Porsche will probably be a 94 Turbo, garage queen.
