No affiliation. Apparently still used as a daily driver.

I am generally one that supports the buy on condition rather than mileage argument, however 300k miles is a lot. Although so long as the engine had a full rebuild including barrels, pistons, cams etc and the clutch, flywheel, gearbox, suspension, etc are all relatively new then in reality it shouldn`t cause much more in the way of maintenance than a 100k mile car.
Still, at the right price, it could be a good buy for someone.

I am the first person to admit that this is often far from the truth, and I would rather have a well used and maintained car than one which hardly ever turns a wheel which usually results in even more issues!! But you will never get over the 'general' attitude of the car buying public

Yeh, would be a good basis for a track car, as it's never going to be a collectors piece with that mileage! Needs an owner who will drive it properly - and maitain it accordingly without worrying about the odd stone chip or scratch!!

300,000 miles is a lot. Forget about the engine for a minute, even though it's had 60,000 miles since rebuild, so it's not exactly fresh by any means. There are so many other things that I can think of that could be on their way out - suspension (looks stock!!), bearings, CV joints, HVAC, and countless others. I'd like to see what has been replaced and when. I agree with Greg the price is highly optimistic, especially for a car with all 4 options, which makes it very close to a regular C2.

If I could take a time machine back to 1993 to order a new Porsche it would be an RSA because they could be ordered without air conditioning and sunroof and had M030 and sport seats as standard. Plus they were $10k less than a regular C2. Of course now they command $10k more which I do not get.

For me it's truly the hope that it won't depreciate as much as a regular C2. That being said, I really wanted my play car to have manual steering, and I really love the tea tray but not so much the widebooty. In any case, I'd suggest that this guy would be lucky to get a fraction of the $10k premium over a 300k C2. So like $17,500???

RS Americas are not widebodies ('turbo look').
