Pricing Help..RS America
Hey Guys,
Im looking at a couple of RS Americas on the market.
The prices seem all over the place. How much are clean original paint non tracked RS America's with 45,000
miles going for?
What should I pay realistically in the market today?
Thx for any help.

I'll play, $95-120k depending on options (or lack of) and maintenance documentation.
Here is a recent data point on a RSA that actually sold at auction: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/199...he-rs-america/
More miles than what you are looking at, but it looks like a good example with some light cosmetic paintwork.

If a nice RSA with 80k miles, no sunroof (positive), and minor cosmetic paintwork sells for $83k, it's tough for me to think a 45k mile example is worth more than $120k.

Any price north of $120k should have sub 30k miles, a "special" color like blue, yellow, silver or even white (as the majority seem to be black and red) and no sunroof (the most desirable factory delete option of the four). Also for prices north of $120k, original paint, no.accident and good documentation. Lastly car needs to be stock with no mods to command this premium. Dealers add no value per se in the final market valuation.

What should someone pay for a car like that?

You should buy every under 20k original paint RSA you can find at 130k, even in the more unpopular colors of red and black which were the most common (white was 3rd but still only 113 of those). You will thank me in 10 years.
Remember where the '73 RS value was even up to the late 90's? RSA is next.

I don't follow the RSA market very closely - but it does seem like there is fair amount compression of prices between C2 coupe and RSA's. It also get's debated constantly how "special" these are in comparison with a standard C2. I think if you look at the pricing of carrera club sport Vs a standard carrera that pricing spread is huge- the club sports are much rarer than a RSA but they too are only a slightly de-contented Carrera. I'd be a buyer of the right car at the right price.

The 964 RS is more akin to the '73 RS Sport (what most refer to as the Lightweight) in both production numbers and intent. Porsche themselves compared the RSA to the '73 RS in their official literature so I will go with them.
