Hi Gents,
I have been struggling to get a RS or not. Prices has gone up so much in the last 2-3 years. Is it a bad time to hunt for one?
I am just afraid one day it will go up to the price of a 2.7RS, then it will get even harder for me to buy or find one.
All opinions are appreciated!!
Regards,
Jack

Why do you want one? to say you have one? why not make a replica? half the cost, just as much fun......why is what I would be saying.

I have thought about it. But the amount of money used for upgrade will never return in re-sale. Spending Plus, Shipping the car to have it done abroad and ship back will cost quite a lot to start.

I know of cars for sale. RHD I take it for HK? PM for contact details.

As above, I have seen 5 RHD at least for sale recently in the UK, from a 2900 mile example up to 70,000 mile version. Blue's, Reds, Pinks, so depending on budget they are out there!

Yup, I have checked with a few of the sellers. One seller decided to keep the car, while the other dealers want an outrageous amount of money.... keeping my eyes open in the mean time.

I guess every ex-RS owner at some point in time regrets having sold their car when observing market value developments.

The question is do you have enough love for these cars and their specific quirks to enjoy ownership even if it takes another 10 years to win financially on your 'inverstment'.

My experience of 964 RS owners, is their purchase is driven by desire rather than gain.
The genuine article is a true gem, in what ever guise!

Red car at Malton is my pick. Not sure on the $$$$$ though.

Jack, I hope you find a car and again sorry for withdrawing from the sale...

Once they get inside you they are too addictive to move on.

Cheers

Think they want £95k for it...

Completely agree with this statement. They are truly special cars. Unlike anything else I've ever driven. The increase in value is a double edged sword - great if you're going to sell it on (which most owners I know haven't or just can't bring themselves to), not so good if you want to take it on a track as they're becoming too valuable.

typer77

Ollie, it's all good! just let me know if you plan to sell it in the future tho.

typer77

Yes, it's a dilemma. I will bring it to a track (just to make sure it's a super wide and safe track like the F1 shanghai track).
Well, my search goes on and on...

This one is up for £120k.

These probably won't see too much track action!
